UNASSIGNED: Sports injuries occur during sport athletic activities, or exercising. However, there are some lesions which are typically associated to sports, in such a demanding and physical sport like Muay Thai that no typical lesion has been detected yet. We performed a narrative review of the literature to highlight the typical lesions of this sport to analyze the differential diagnosis of those conditions.
UNASSIGNED: A 28-year-old female, Muay Thai athlete since 16 years, presented with a 6 months history of a persistent pain in the metaphyseal lateral part of the right tibia. Differentiation between stress injuries, malignant bone tumors, and tumor-like lesions after repetitive microtrauma following sport activities can be difficult. The diagnostic approach involved conventional X-ray, echotomography, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging scan with controversial findings. The biopsy confirmed the final diagnosis of non-ossifying fibroma.
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this case report is to exhibit the challenges in the diagnosis of a professional Muay Thai athlete with tibial pain and to discuss the clinical presentation of this type of patients with a limited population in the literature. Our case illustrates that even modern imaging techniques cannot always distinguish between tumor and tumor-like lesions caused by sports; meanwhile remembered us that we should never be too focused on a particular characteristic forgetting even rare pathologies as adamantinoma.

Plexiform neurofibroma is a rare benign tumor and a special subtype of neurofibromatosis 1. This report is a literature review with a case of patient with facial hemorrhage observed at the site of neurofibroma removal in the right lower face due to minor trauma. Through PubMed search, using terms ((facial hematoma) OR (facial bleeding)) AND (neurofibromatosis), 86 articles were identified, and five related articles (six patients) were finally selected. Of the six patients, two had previously undergone embolization. However, as a result, all patients received open surgery to remove hematomas. The hemostatic methods mentioned were vascular ligation (five patients), hypotensive anesthesia (two patients), and postoperative blood transfusion (four patients). In conclusion, spontaneous or minimally traumatic bleeding is possible in neurofibromatosis patients. In most cases, it can be resolved by vascular ligation under hypotensive anesthesia. Optionally, prior embolization and supplementary tissue adhesive may be used.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are lesions that occur before the physis closes and are frequently associated with acute ankle trauma. These lesions are often difficult to diagnose due to swelling and inflammation that are present after the initial injury. A growing body of literature has assessed the effects of OLTs in the adult population. However, the literature examining these lesions in the juvenile population is sparse. The purpose of this review is to provide a thorough understanding of OLTs, with a specific focus on the juvenile population. We evaluate the recent literature regarding the outcomes of various surgical treatment; modalities in the pediatric patient. While the outcomes after surgical treatment of pediatric OLTs are generally favorable, the paucity of investigation in this demographic is alarming. Further research is needed to better inform practitioners and families regarding these outcomes, as treatment plans are highly dependent on the individual patient in question.

OBJECTIVE: Congenital malalignment of the great toenail (CMGT) is an idiopathic deviation of the nail apparatus. CMGT predisposes patients to recurrent stress forces, microtrauma, and secondary complications. The purpose of this study was to review the current published photographs to determine the relationship between variants of CMGT and the disappearing nail bed (DNB).
METHODS: A search in PubMed and Google using the terms congenital malalignment of the great toenail, disappearing nail bed, and lateral nail deviation was performed. Of the 53 photographs found in a total of 35 articles, 23 were disqualified due to low picture resolution or poor angle. The remaining 30 photographs were evaluated. Pure nail malalignment with associated dystrophy and DNB was found in 22 of 30 photographs. Four of 30 cases demonstrated pure deviation of the distal phalanx, with nail dystrophy but minimal DNB. The remaining 4 cases demonstrated a combination of toe deviation and nail unit deviation with varying degrees of DNB.
CONCLUSIONS: DNB was associated with all forms of pure CMGT. Moreover, a variant of malalignment of the distal phalanx was noted in 8 photographs. This has potential implications for further studies and treatment to correct secondary complications.
