The fibularis digiti quinti tendon: A cadaveric study with anthropological and clinical considerations.

In addition to the fibularis longus and brevis muscles, a number of anomalous muscles or tendons can arise from the lateral compartment of the leg. The authors describe a bilateral and robust fibularis digiti quinti (FDQ) tendon present in the foot of a 99-year-old female cadaver, present the incidence of this tendon in a cohort of 26 cadavers dissected by podiatric-medical students for a lower-extremity anatomy course, and discuss the anthropological and clinical significance of the findings. In these specimen, the FDQ tendon arose from the fibularis brevis tendon proximal to the lateral malleolus, but did not separate completely from the fibularis brevis tendon until passing through the inferior fibular retinaculum.

Allopurinol: a therapeutic alternative for disseminated cutaneous sarcoidosis.

We report a 57-year-old woman, with progressive disseminated cutaneous sarcoidosis, whose eruption responded to treatment with allopurinol.

[Localized Sweet syndrome].

A 73-year-old women developed an inflammatory tumor on her right cheek within 3 weeks. The lesion measured more than 7 cm in diameter, contained a central crateriform depression and was studded with several sterile pustules. Histology showed a dense dermal infiltration of neutrophils, but no leukocytoclasia or destruction of dermal tissue.
