Nonvascularized Double Metatarsal Transfer After Excision of Epithelioid Hemangioma of Hand: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

CASE Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an uncommon, benign, locally aggressive neoplasm, and it may present as multifocal lytic lesions with soft tissue involvement in the hand. We report the midterm follow-up of a patient with recurrent EH of the hand that was reconstructed successfully, with a nonvascularized double metatarsal transfer, after tumor excision. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report where a nonvascularized double metatarsal transfer has been used successfully after tumor resection. CONCLUSION: Osteoarticular replacement with matched metatarsal transfer after en bloc resection may be used successfully for reconstruction, after the resection of EH involving the metacarpal.
