[2]: 599 These tumors were reclassified by Dr. Weiss in 1996 as "spindle cell hemangioma", rather than hemangioendothelioma, due to the excellent prognosis observed in a group of 78 patients. [ 5 ] Retiform hemangioendothelioma (also known as a "Hobnail hemangioendothelioma" [ 3 ] ) is a low-grade angiosarcoma , first described in 1994 ...
Because of its similarities to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), May–Thurner syndrome is rarely diagnosed amongst the general population. In this condition, the right iliac artery sequesters and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar section of the spine, [5] resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, tingling, and/or numbness in the legs and feet.

The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh can be studied using ultrasound. [1] A patient lies on a bed facing upwards (supine). [3] The ultrasound probe is moved along the length of the nerve, often starting from near the ASIS. [3] The nerve is easier to see over the sartorius muscle than in other subcutaneous tissue, as there is greater ...
Microvenular hemangioma is an acquired benign vascular tumor that presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing, 0.5- to 2.0 cm reddish lesion on the forearms or other sites of young to middle-aged adults. [2]
The hemangioma growth phase can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Then involution, or healing, of the hemangioma begins. Laser and other surgeries can usually make a substantial positive impact on appearance. Long after the hemangioma recedes, any damage it or the other defects caused may remain. Migraines are common, as are developmental delays.
A dermatofibroma, or benign fibrous histiocytomas, is a benign nodule in the skin, typically on the legs, elbows or chest of an adult. [3] It is usually painless. [3]It usually ranges from 0.2cm to 2cm in size but larger examples have been reported. [3]
Some of the nerve blocks that work by affecting the femoral nerve are the femoral nerve block, the fascia iliac block and the 3-in-1 nerve block. Femoral nerve blocks are very effective. [3] During pelvic surgery and abdominal surgery, the femoral nerve must be identified early on to protect it from iatrogenic nerve injury. [4] The femoral ...
Popliteal bypass surgery, more commonly known as femoropopliteal bypass (FPB, fem-pop, etc.) or more generally as lower extremity bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure used to treat diseased leg arteries above or below the knee. [1]
