Outcomes Following Excision of Toe Glomus Tumors.

Background: Glomus tumors are uncommon tumors and their occurrence in the foot is even less common. Glomus tumors of the toes are often missed, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. We report an ambispective observational study of glomus tumors of the toes that were treated at our institution.

Nonvascularized Double Metatarsal Transfer After Excision of Epithelioid Hemangioma of Hand: A Case Report.

Case: Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an uncommon, benign, locally aggressive neoplasm, and it may present as multifocal lytic lesions with soft tissue involvement in the hand. We report the midterm follow-up of a patient with recurrent EH of the hand that was reconstructed successfully, with a nonvascularized double metatarsal transfer, after tumor excision. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report where a nonvascularized double metatarsal transfer has been used successfully after tumor resection.

The Vascular Basis of the Pronator Quadratus Muscle Flap and Its Use in Clinical Cases.

 Pronator quadratus (PQ) is a deeply situated muscle in the forearm which may occasionally be utilized for soft-tissue reconstruction. The purpose of this anatomical and clinical study was to confirm vascular supply of PQ muscle (PQM) in order to optimize its transfer and confirm its utility in clinical situations.  In Part A of the anatomical study, fresh human cadavers ( = 7) were prepared with an intra-arterial injection of lead oxide and gelatin solution, and PQM and neurovascular pedicle were dissected ( = 14).
