Rare Benign Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions of the Hand without Skin Damage-Clinical, Imagistic and Histopathological Diagnosis, Retrospective Study.

Background: The broad spectrum of diagnoses and clinical features of hand tumors and the absence of pathognomonic signs often lead to an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. However, only a few reports have comprehensively referenced the diagnosis and clinical features of hand tumors. This study intends to highlight the clinical, imaging and histological characteristics of uncommon hand tumors or tumor-like lesions.

Monitoring Perfusion Index in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department Due to Drug Use.

(1) Background: The perfusion index (PI) represents the ratio between pulsatile blood flow and non-pulsatile blood flow in the peripheral tissue. (2) We aimed to investigate the blood pressure perfusion of tissues and organs in ethnobotanical, synthetic cannabinoid and cannabis derivative consumers through the value of perfusion index. (3) Results: The patients enrolled were divided into two groups: group A, which included all patients who presented in the ED within the first three hours after consumption, and group B, which included those patients who presented more than three hours and up to 12 h after drug consumption.

Atypical Sites of the Lipoma on the Hand and Fingers: Clinical and Imaging Features and Surgical Outcomes.

Background: Lipomas are the most frequent benign soft tissue tumor that are rarely found in the hand and are exceptionally rare on the fingers. The aim of this study was to investigate lipomas of atypical locations, so that they can be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of a tumor of the hand or fingers.

Methods: We studied a group of 27 patients diagnosed with lipoma of the wrist, palm, and fingers.

Floating-dislocated elbow in adults: Case reports and literature review.

Rationale: Floating-dislocated elbow is a severe and extremely rare injury in adults. Reviewing the literature, we found around 6 case reports regarding floating-dislocated elbow in adults.

Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: We report 2 cases of this unusual injury association.

Schwannoma of the Upper Limb: Retrospective Study of a Rare Tumor with Uncommon Locations.

Background: Although schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is the most common tumor of the peripheral nerve, its low incidence, slow growth and vague symptoms often lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. The aim of the study is to present a series with a large number of schwannomas in the upper limbs, some with very rare occurrence.

Methods: We report 17 patients with a mean age of 58.
