Unusual Presentation of Infantile Myofibroma in the Deep Palm of a Child: A Case Report and Discussion of the Differential Diagnosis
Infantile myofibroma or myofibromatosis is a myofibroblastic and fibroblastic proliferation that is most commonly reported in children younger than 2 years of age. It is a benign process composed histologically of a biphasic pattern of spindle-shaped cells surrounding a zone of less differentiated cells in a hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. We report this tumor in a unique presentation in the deep palm of a 2-year-old child without skin ulceration and with an intimate association with the median nerve.Vascularized Composite Tissue Spare Part Transfer for Central Hand Defect Reconstruction: Case Report
Injuries to the hand with loss of joints, tendons, nerves, and soft tissue may require complex, innovative reconstructive techniques to achieve a favorable functional and aesthetic outcome. We present a case of a manual laborer who sustained a multifaceted injury from a metal press machine with loss of composite structures including the middle and ring finger metacarpophalangeal joints, flexor and extensor tendons, digital nerves, and dorsal/volar soft tissues. Reconstruction included using the spare parts technique for transferring his ring finger proximal interphalangeal joint as a pedicle to reconstitute the missing metacarpophalangeal joint of his middle finger.
