Article Abstract
A 44-year-old male sustained trauma to his foot leading to a 5-cm defect of the first metatarsal bone and infection of the bone by . Osteotomy is the most suitable method for treating large metatarsal defects complicated with osteomyelitis, however few reports have been published on this challenging approach. In this case, osteotomy and external fixation for distraction were performed. Finally, the osteomyelitis of the patient was well controlled, the bone length was restored, and the patient could carry weight completely, and the treatment effect was satisfactory.

The spindle cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is exceptionally rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its morphological overlap with other spindle cell lesions of the thyroid. We report a novel case of spindle cell variant PTC in a 66-year-old woman presenting with a TI-RADS 4 thyroid nodule, initially classified as Bethesda III on fine-needle aspiration. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed predominantly of bland spindle cells arranged in solid sheets and fascicles, admixed with entrapped thyroid follicles.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative malignancy associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection, predominantly affecting immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS. Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy, KS remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population, especially when diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Ocular involvement, although rare, can lead to significant functional impairment.

In adults having chest pain, ST-segment elevation, both benign and pathologic, is a common finding seen on electrocardiograms (ECGs). Some degree of ST-segment elevation is common, especially in young men. Commonly referred to as benign early repolarization (BER), this elevation is seen in the precordial leads.

Duplication of the appendix is a rare congenital malformation, classified into various types depending on its location and relation to the cecum. There are no established demographic patterns associated with appendiceal duplication. While the exact cause and mechanism are not entirely understood, duplication of the appendix is thought to arise between weeks six and eight of gestation due to anomalies during the embryological process of midgut rotation.
