3.Atypical Subtrochanteric Femoral Fracture in a Patient with Non-metatatic Breast Cancer on Zoledronic Acid Therapy: A Case Report.
Journal of Korean Orthopaedic Research Society 2012;15(2):72-75
The bisphosphonate is known for its ability to reduce bone loss in osteoporotic and osseous metastatic conditions. The side effects have been reported after long-term bisphosphonate therapy. We report the case of a woman who sustained atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture while being on zoledronic acid (Zometa(R), Novartis) therapy for more than 4 years.

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is the least common benign cartilaginous tumor, comprising less than 0.5 to 1% of all skeletal neoplasms. This subject was a 16-year-old female with a three-year history of pain involving the distal femoral metaphysis. This case showed an unusual feature: it was intracortical in location. Radiologic differential diagnosis included metaphyseal fibrous defect, periosteal chondroma, simple or aneurysmal bone cyst, and cortical abscess. On operation, the lesion filled the intracortical defect with whitish myxoid soft tissue, bulging into the adjacent soft tissue. Microscopically, it showed typical features of chondromyxoid fibroma composed of mainly myxoid nodules and peripheral fibrous elements with focal chondroid differentiation.

We report on the case of a 50-year-old woman with exsanguinating haemorrhage from the common femoral artery as a complication of recurrent vulvar cancer in the groin which was managed successfully with combined open surgical and endovascular intervention. She survived another three months and died from progressive disease without further episodes of bleeding. This complication is rare, presents dramatically, and is usually a terminal event. For those cases where intervention is considered appropriate, the option of combined open surgical and endovascular repair should be kept in mind.

We describe a patient with an unusual cause of the occlusions of both femoral arteries by myxomas. A 41-year-old man presented with sudden onset of both leg pain and paresthesia. His hematological and cardiological status was normal. Lower peripheral angiography was performed and demonstrated thrombotic occlusion, both common femoral artery and superficial femoral and proximal portion of deep femoral artery. He was successfully treated with surgical and forgaty catheter extraction. Histologic finding was myxoma probably from cardiac origin. Cardiac investigations to determine the source of the myxoma, including 2-D echocardiography and Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) of the heart, failed to demonstrate residual myxoma in heart. No residual tumor or potential source of the tumor was found. The cause of both leg pain was the occlusions of the both common femoral arteries by myxomas. An entire cardiac tumor might have embolized with no detectable residual tumor in the heart; alternatively a myxoma might have originated as a primary tumor in the femoral artery.

8.Surgical implications of anatomical variation in anterolateral thigh flaps for the reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects: focus on perforators and pedicles.

OBJECTIVES: To gain information on anatomical variation in anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps in a series of clinical cases, with special focus on perforators and pedicles, for potential use in reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight patients who underwent microvascular reconstructive surgery with ALT free flaps after ablative surgery for oral cancer were included. The number of perforators included in cutaneous flaps, location of perforators (septocutaneous or musculocutaneous), and the course of vascular pedicles were intraoperatively investigated. RESULTS: Four cases with a single perforator and four cases with multiple perforators were included in the ALT flap designed along the line from anterior superior iliac spine to patella. Three cases had perforators running the septum between the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris muscle (septocutaneous type), and five cases had perforators running in the vastus lateralis muscle (musculocutaneous type). Regarding the course of vascular pedicles, five cases were derived from the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (type I), and three cases were from the transverse branch (type II). CONCLUSION: Anatomical variation affecting the distribution of perforators and the course of pedicles might prevent use of an ALT free flap in various reconstruction cases. However, these issues can be overcome with an understanding of anatomical variation and meticulous surgical dissection. ALT free flaps are considered reliable options for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the oral and maxillofacial area.

9.Osteosarcoma in a 14 month old female child.
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore 1986;15(1):87-91
A case of osteosarcoma in a 14 month old girl is reported. The child presented with a history of difficulty in standing for 2 months and x-rays revealed an osteolytic lesion in the upper third of the femur associated with widening of bone and periosteal reaction. Osteosarcoma was diagnosed by biopsy. Treatment was refused and the child died 13 weeks later. Only one other case of osteosarcoma in a child as young as 14 months has been reported. A review of literature showed 22 cases of osteosarcoma in children aged 5 years or younger.

Systemic tumor embolisms after pulmonary resections for malignancy are rare, but usually severe and sometimes fatal. Here, we report a case of a 70-year-old woman who underwent pulmonary resection for lung cancer and subsequently developed acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremities caused by a tumorous embolus.
