RESUMEN

Intravascular endothelial hyperplasia is a benign soft tissue mass rarely reported in the foot. Advanced imaging and confirming a benign diagnosis are critical for any soft tissue mass. This paper identifies 2 patients that developed intravascular endothelial hyperplasia tumors which required surgical excision. A 17-year-old male patient presented to clinic complaining of a painful bump to the arch of his right foot which he related to an injury 9 months prior. Magnetic resonance imaging of the right foot revealed a mass within the plantar subcutaneous fat that was serpiginous in nature similar to adjacent branching vessels favoring a low-flow vascular malformation. A 38-year-old female with Multiple Sclerosis presented with complaints of persistent symptoms of pain to the 1st interspace, difficult ambulation and neuritis. Ultrasound and MRI observed solid, multilobulated mass, with internal vascular malformation, MRI describing intrinsic involvement along the abductor musculature and flexor tendons. Both lesions were surgically excised and sent for pathology. Pathology report indicated a diagnosis of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson's tumor in both cases. Pathology diagnosis of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is generally good with wide resection leading to low recurrence rates. Both patients in the current study have progressed postoperatively with resolution of symptoms and without recurrence.

RESUMEN

Adult acquired flat foot deformity (AAFD) is a progressive, tri-planar deformity involving collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, valgus deformity of the rear foot, and abduction of the mid-foot on the rear foot. There are a wide variety of surgical treatment options for this deformity, including lateral column lengthening (LCL) which results in tri-planar correction of AAFD. We retrospectively reviewed weightbearing preoperative radiographs and weight-bearing 6-week postoperative radiographs of 34 patients with stage II AAFD who underwent LCL (with and without concurrent procedures) with a minimum of 1-year of follow up. Outcomes, including complications and postoperative differences in 6 types of angle measurements were evaluated. Radiographic evaluation showed statistically significant differences in preoperative and postoperative measures in the following angles: calcaneal inclination, Meary's, Simmons, talocalcaneal, and metatarsus adductus (each p ≤ .05). Postoperative Engel's angle difference did not reach statistical significance (p = .07). Paired t tests showed TN coverage angles increased greater with LCL plus a Cotton osteotomy as compared to isolated LCL. Additionally, there was no significant difference in TN coverage angle based on LCL graft size (p = .20). Furthermore, the distance of the osteotomy from the calcaneocuboid joint on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs did not significantly predict TN coverage angle change. Our study suggests that LCL corrects AAFD in three planes while decreasing the metatarsus adductus angle. LCL appears to be more effective when performed with a Cotton osteotomy. Wedge size (6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm) and osteotomy location did not demonstrate a relationship with postoperative TN coverage angle or incidence of lateral column overload.
