Loss of the metacarpal or metatarsal pad requires reconstruction with other pad tissue to allow functional weight-bearing on the limb. This report describes the use of a bilateral phalangeal fillet technique to reconstruct a weight-bearing surface in a dog following complete excision of its right metacarpal pad for malignant melanoma. This resulted in a functional weight-bearing limb.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

A rare type of localized gigantism known as macrodystrophia lipomatosa is characterized by a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissues and a gradual overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements. The distribution in the lower extremities' plantar nerves and the upper extremity's median nerve is most commonly observed. This abnormality is congenital and typically manifests at birth or during the neonatal stage.

Three-dimensional analysis of bones, especially for preoperative planning of corrective osteotomy in fracture malunion, assumes that the bilateral extremities exhibit a symmetrical mirror image when projected onto each other. No studies are available for phalanges. Three-dimensional bone models of all phalanges of 20 healthy participants (40 hands) were created from computed tomography data.

Introduction: Bipartite bone formation is a congenital variation occurring due to the incomplete ossification of newly forming bones in the body. The patella and sesamoid bones are the most common bipartite bone sites. However, some unusual bones can also have this kind of variation and it is important to diagnose them correctly and avoid unnecessary overtreatment.
