Letters to the Editor Radiographic and CT Features of Macrodystrophia Lipomatosa Ind J Radiol Imag 2000; SUJATA PATNAIK Consultant Radiologist, Kalinga Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Orissa Sir, Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare form of localized gigantism - a congenital overgrowth of all the mesenchymal elements of a digit with a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissue. It is also known by several other names - partial acromegaly, macrosomia, elephantiasis, megalodactyly, dactylomegaly, macrodactyly, macroceir, local gigantism and club finger/toe I recently came across one such case of localized overgrowth, which was subjected to radiological evaluation. A seventeen-year-old girl was referred for radiological investigation of a swelling in her right foot involving the second and third toes. The swelling had been noticed at birth and it progressed slowly over the last ten years. There was no local change in color, pain or constitutional symptoms. Fig. 1

Bone Marrow Transplantation Hematology Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Oncology ... Oncology Oncology Osteogenic Sarcoma What is osteogenic sarcoma? Also called osteosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma is one of the most common types of bone cancer in children. The disease usually occurs in the long bones, such as the arms (humerus), legs (femur/tibia), and pelvis. It rarely occurs in the jaw and fingers, but often occurs at the ends of these bones near growth plates. Osteosarcoma affects adolescents and adults. This cancer is also more prevalent in males than in females, possibly because of the rapid growth rate at this age. Prior to adolescence, the percentage of affected males and females is equal. Osteogenic sarcoma cancer cells can also spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. Most commonly, these cells spread to the lungs. However, bones, kidneys, the adrenal gland, the brain, and the heart can also be sites of metastasis. What causes osteogenic sarcoma? It has been suggested that repeated trauma to an area may be a risk factor for developing this type of cancer. It is uncertain whether trauma is a cause or effect of the disease. Cancer lesions in the bone can make that area of the bone weaker, thus, making injury more likely. However, repeated injuries to a certain area of the bone may lead to an increased production of osteoid tissue to repair the damaged area. The rapid production of osteoid tissue may lead to the malignancy. It is thought, most often, that injury simply brings the condition to attention and has no causal relationship.

106. Extended Possibilities For Patient With Leg Length Discrepancy doctors before I was finally diagnosed with ollier s disease, explained Daniel.ollier s disease is a nonhereditary congenital defect (present from http://www.shrinershq.org/shc/houston/olliers1-01.html

Home Shrine Shriners Hospitals Hospital Directory ... Donation form for mailing Extended possibilities for patient with leg length discrepancy Local resident successful graduate of Shriners Hospitals January 2001 Daniel Bowen, a 22-year-old resident of League City, Texas, enjoys a normal family life after growing up with a condition called Ollier's disease, which caused a significant leg length discrepancy in his right leg. At 5 feet 6 1/2 inches, Daniel Bowen has no problem standing his ground when it comes to his Great Dane, Brutus. After observing him throughout the following day, they realized that Daniel skipped everywhere he went. Daniel's parents and grandparents finally asked him to simply walk across the room, and that's when they noticed that Daniel limped when he walked. After a closer look at his legs, they found that his right leg was shorter then his left leg. "After discovering my lower limb length discrepancy, my parents took me to several doctors before I was finally diagnosed with Ollier's Disease," explained Daniel. Ollier's disease is a non-hereditary congenital defect (present from birth) that causes tumors in the bones of usually just one extremity, affecting not only the long bones, but also those of the foot. The tumors affect the growth plates, which over time causes a lower limb length discrepancy.
