Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone forming tumor of the growing skeleton that is most often seen in young men. It represents by pain and radiologic appearance of a nidus surrounded by osteosclerosis that occurs mostly in long bones of the lower extremity. Occurrence of this tumor in the hand is an uncommon condition. A 35 year old right-hand-dominant man presented to our orthopedic and trauma OPD with an approximately 2 year history of right middle finger pain without any history of trauma. He consulted previously with a local doctor and had undergone xray of the hand with no definitive diagnosis. Computed tomography at our institution was consistent with the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. The patient was treated with surgical excision of the lesion without bone grafting. The diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was confirmed by histopathology. Follow up visit showed complete resolution of pain. In this case demonstrating that osteoid osteoma is an important differential diagnosis in patients with finger pain.Pulse Vol.8 January-December 2015 p.69-72

Background: /μL on two different examinations within a month of each other and/or a 20% or higher percentage of eosinophils in a bone marrow section, associated with organ damage. Rarely, neurological manifestations may…
Molecular diagnostic (MDx) techniques have revolutionized the field of clinical diagnostics, providing several advantages over traditional microbial culture methods. The ability to perform multiplex molecular panel…
Introduction: Aortic stiffness, assessed through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Measurements of PWV are based on the proper…
INTRODUCTION: Dynamical systems theory, probability, and entropy were the substrate for the development of the diagnostic and predictive methodology of adult heart dynamics. OBJECTIVE: To apply a previously developed…
Introduction: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a blood pressure-independent measure of heart-ankle pulse wave velocity, is a relatively new indicator of arterial stiffness. The absolute value of the difference in…
There is growing evidence that diversely defined blood pressure variability (BPV) is an independent predictor of hypertensive target organ damage (TOD) and cardiovascular events. Several mechanisms have been speculated…
Background: Magnesium (Mg++) deficiency is related with terrible glycemic control. Supplementation of Mg++ lowers blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and as a end result, diabetic complications inclusive of…
Introduction: Acute hemorrhage decreases blood pressure (BP) and sometimes causes hypovolemic shock. At this time, peripheral arteries are supposed to contract and increase peripheral vascular resistance to raise BP…
Introduction: The pulse wave analysis technology in the specialist SphygmoCor XCEL device has now been implemented in the CONNEQT Pulse device, which is a conventional sphygmomanometer suitable for home blood pressure…
Background and Aims: This study investigated the possible correlation between elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) levels and early vascular aging biomarkers in healthy children and adolescents. Methods: Twenty-seven…
