“…Cerrahi dışı tedavi yöntemleri ise yan etkileri ve uzun dönem başarısız sonuçları nedeniyle nadiren tercih edilmektedir. Cerrahi için uygun olmayan hastalarda skleroterapi, radyoterapi, kortikosteroidler ve embolizasyondan yararlanılabilir (6,13). Özellikle çıkarılamayan lezyonlarda embolizasyon ağrı kontrolü yapması, cerrahi esnasında kan kaybını azaltıcı ve postoperatif rekkürens riskini azaltıcı etkisiyle tercih edilmektedir.…”

Misdiagnosis of pathological femoral fracture in a patient with intramuscular hemangioma: A case report

Abstract. Hemangioma is a common disease; however, intramuscular hemangioma (IH) presenting with a pathological fracture is extremely rare. The present study reports a case of a 46-year-old male patient that suffered from IH of the right thigh, presenting with a pathological femoral fracture. The patient was initially diagnosed with a traumatic femoral fracture, and routine open reduction and internal fixation were performed at a local hospital. However, 20 days subsequent to surgery, gradual swelling and soreness around the incision were observed. The incision eventually ruptured during squatting for bowel movement, which led to extensive blood loss. Based on computed tomography (CT) and deep femoral artery arteriography, IH presenting with a pathological femoral fracture was diagnosed. The patient underwent artery embolization, from which he recovered well. At the 6-month follow-up, the femoral fracture was revealed to have healed, and a CT scan demonstrated no evidence of recurrence; however, continuous observation using CT is required in order to determine the long-term outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a misdiagnosed pathological femoral fracture in a patient with IH reported in the English literature.

Clinical Evaluation and Management of Benign Soft Tissue Tumors of the Extremities

Benign lesions comprise a majority of soft tissue tumors. It has been estimated that their incidence outnumbers that of malignant tumors by a factor of at least 100 [1]. While history and physical examination can start the diagnostic process, imaging including the use of magnetic resonance imaging can be more helpful. Biopsy of these tumors is sometimes necessary and can be performed in a number of ways, often in conjunction with definitive treatment. Specific diagnostic and treatment strategies for a number of the more commonly encountered benign soft tissue tumors including lipomas, pigmented villonodular synovitis and hemangiomas are reviewed. An algorithm for the management of benign soft tissue tumors is discussed.
