Dermatofibroma is a benign tumor of dermal fibroblasts frequently observed in limbs. A case of dermatofibroma in the forearm is presented, with a strong and diffuse expression of vimentin and neurofilament. No neural, schwannian, endoneurial or perineurial elements were demonstrated with immunohisto chemistry.
Keywords:
Dermatofibroma; Neurofilament; Aberrant expression

Entrapment neuropathies of the upper and lower extremities are commonly seen in Orthopedics consultations. In these evaluations, it is important to understand the usefulness of electrodiagnostic (EMG/NCS) studies for supporting these diagnoses.
This is a review of the most common nerve entrapments of the upper and lower
extremities and the critical EMG/NCS data.

Objectives/Interrogation: The goal of wrist fractures remains anatomic reduction. In literature is reported a considerable number of injuries of inter-carpal ligaments and Triangular Fibro Cartilage Complex associated (TFCC) to wrist fractures that were not
detected or were underestimated using only intraoperative fluoroscopy.

We present a case of 30 years of chronic osteomyelitis of the femur with a draining sinus, refractory to multiple surgeries and multiple courses of antibiotics. Three orthopedic surgeons were consulted regarding operative management, but could only offer curative leg amputation which was not acceptable to the patient. We added hyperbaric oxygen to the patient’s regimen.
