Case histories of isolated and complete volar dislocation of the carpal scaphoid have rarely been reported .We report here another such case. On examination, the wrist was moderately swollen and tender over its volar aspect. Radiographs showed isolated, complete volar dislocation of the scaphoid. We used open reduction with K-wire fixation as treatment. After four weeks of operative reduction the patient had undertaken neurolysis due to median nerve compression symptom (carpal tunnel syndrome). At six weeks, the K-wires were removed and the patient was allowed to do a range of motion exercise. Twenty months after injury, the wrist was asymptomatic and had a mid-range of active motion without instability. There was no roentgenographic evidences of scapholunate dissociation or avascular necrosis

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a distinct developmental anomaly showing, histologically, hyperplasia of eccrine sweat apparatus and of vascular elementa in the same lesion, and clinically, the angiomatous lesions with occasional tenderness and profuse local sweating. Recently, we examined an 18-year-old, otherwise healthy girl having, on the anterior aspect of the right leg, an extensive, irregularly marginated and somewhat bluish, tender, firm subcutaneous mass. The mass was studded with several overlying macular, verrucous or nodular angiomatous patches which showed conspicuous hyperhidrosie. Histological examination revealed marked hyperplasia, hypertrophy and cystic dilatations of eccrine sweat apparatus accompanied by proliferation of the capillary hemangiomatous component and ectopic, thick smooth muscle bundles in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

We herein describe a case of a 55-year-old healthy woman with localized primary thymic amyloidosis presented as a mediastinal mass, found incidentally by chest radiography. Computed tomography revealed a 4.1 cm soft tissue lesion with nodular calcification in the left anterior mediastinum. The resected specimen was a well-defined lobulating mass with calcification. Microscopically, the mass was consisted of amorphous eosinophilc hyalinized substances involving the thymus and intrathymic lymph nodes. These eosinophilic substances showed apple-green bi-refringence under polarized light after staining with Congo red. In immunohistochemical study, they were positive for kappa and lambda light chains and negative for amyloid A. There was no evidence of systemic amyloidosis in clinical investigations. A final diagnosis of localized primary thymic amyloidosis was made.
