Comparison of the pathology of fascia in eosinophilic myalgia syndrome patients and idiopathic eosinophilic fasciitis.

The L-tryptophan eosinophilic myalgia syndrome (EMS) clinically has some similarities with idiopathic eosinophilic fasciitis (EF). In order to study the pathology of both syndromes, we analyzed 21 biopsies of patients with EMS and 8 with idiopathic EF. In both diseases there is dermal and fascial mucin and dermal edema, but this was more common in EMS. EMS is also characterized by dilated lymphatics, dermal and septal sclerosis and macrophage-rich inflammation. Neural inflammation was seen in 4 of the cases with EMS and in none with idiopathic EF. In both syndromes, there are many histopathological similarities. The differences may be due to sampling and to sample size. The nerve lesions of EMS may result from the nature of lymphocyte-macrophage inflammation, or the effect of the eosinophil neurotoxin and may not be a primary event.

Experimental tracheal tube created with vascularized fascia.

An experimental fascial transferable bed was developed in the rabbit model. This tissue is reliable in bringing a viable mucosal graft inside the larynx. A vascular connective tissue sheet with full-thickness mucosa and autogenous cartilage for external support are needed. In this study a tracheal tube was preformed to study the use of autogenous cartilage as support for a circumferential lumen.

Fibromatosis of the plantar fascia: diagnosis and indications for surgical treatment.

Plantar fibromatosis is a rare, benign lesion involving the plantar aponeurosis. Eleven patients (13 feet) underwent 24 operations, including local excision, wide excision, or complete plantar fasciectomy. Clinical results were evaluated retrospectively. There were no differences among the subgroups in postoperative complications. Two primary fasciectomies did not recur. Three of six revised fasciectomies, seven of nine wide excisions, and six of seven local excisions recurred. Our results indicate that recurrence of plantar fibromatosis after surgical resection can be reduced by aggressive initial surgical resection.
