Item Management of a Case of Distal Ulna Giant Cell Tumor with Excision and Buttress Bone Grafting - A Case Report(International Research Organization for Life & Health Sciences (IROLHS), 2019-05) Mahboobur, Rahman; Nandi, Ritwika; Kumar, Sanjay; Nandi, Sujit Narayan; Kumar, SanjayGiant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal ulna is an extremely uncommon entity. These tumors are generally managed by excision ofthe tumor without any reconstruction. Simple excision of the tumor mass without any reconstructive procedure leads to ulnartranslation of the carpal bones and dynamic convergence of the ulna toward the radius. In our case, excision of GCT mass ofthe distal ulna in a 15-year-old boy was supplemented with reconstruction of the distal radioulnar joint by a 2 cm × 1 cm bonegraft and tenodesis of extensor carpi ulnaris to the ulnar stump. The patient achieved painless range of motion of his wrist jointby 5 months without any post-operative complications.Item Management of a Case of Subungual Glomus Tumor by Periungual Surgical Excision: A Case Report(International Research Organization for Life & Health Sciences (IROLHS), 2019-07) Nandi, Ritwika; Rahman, Mahboobur; Ghosh, Sourav; Kumar, Sanjay; Nandi, Sujit NarayanGlomus tumors of the subungual region are a group of benign hamartomas due to proliferation of glomus cells. The lesionpresents as a brownish purple lesion in the nail bed. Classical triad suggestive of the disease consists of severe pain, localtenderness, and sensitivity to cold. Diagnostic tests include Love’s pin test, Hildreth’s test, and transillumination test. Completesurgical excision by either the transungual or periungual approach usually provides symptomatic relief with little chance ofrecurrence. Periungual approach is associated with less complications.
