1/4. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the foot.The author describes a malignant tumor presenting in the hallux of a middle-aged Caucasian male. Clinical and histologic characteristics are portrayed. Comparison with similar tumors, as well as differentiation among the five subtypes, is reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hallux (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. Glomus tumour of the hallux: diagnosis by Doppler-shift ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography.A case is presented of a glomangioma with typical history and clinical findings, proven by operation and histology. Unique radiographic features are demonstrated including visualization of the tumour on a soft tissue radiograph and associated hyperaemic bone changes, continuous wave Doppler results indicating hyperaemia and an arterio-venous malformation, and the clear demonstration of the tumour in both frontal and lateral views was possible by intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) under local anaesthesia. Fibrous dysplasia of a femur was an incidental finding.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = hallux (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Dermal nerve sheath myxoma of the hallux: a case report.Dermal nerve sheath myxoma is a rare tumor with a predilection for the upper extremity, head, neck, and shoulder. It usually arises during childhood or early adult life. We present a case of a young woman who has this type of myxoid tumor of the hallux. To preserve viability of the hallux, debulking of the tumor was performed rather than complete marginal excision. This case and a literature review suggest that this tumor may be satisfactorily managed with debulking or marginal resection. histology and pathology of dermal nerve sheath myxoma are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = hallux (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. Trauma-induced Kaposi's sarcoma of the hallux. An unusual case.Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common malignant lesion in patients who test seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus. Although many cases of this tumor have been described in the literature, only a few cases have been related to Koebner's phenomenon following trauma. biopsy of lesions remains the standard method of diagnosis, but the numerous treatment options available today require treatment to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The authors present an unusual case of trauma-induced, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related Kaposi's sarcoma of the hallux with successful treatment through radiotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = hallux (Clic here for more details about this article) |
