Enchondroma Enchondroma is a type of benign bone tumor that originates from cartilage. The exact etiology of it is not known. An enchondroma most often affects the cartilage that lines the inside of the bones.The bones most often involved with this benign tumor are the miniature long bones of the hands and feet.It may, however, also involve other bones such as the femur, humerus, or tibia.hile the exact cause of enchondroma is not known, it is believed to occur either as an overgrowth of the cartilage that lines the ends of the bones, or as a persistent growth of original, embryonic cartilage.

- Neuroblastoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in nerve tissue of the adrenal gland, neck, chest, or spinal cord. Neuroblastoma often begins in the nerve tissue of the adrenal glands.There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen.The adrenal glands make important hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the way the body reacts to stress.euroblastoma often begins in the nerve tissue of the adrenal glands.

adrenoleukodystrophy Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare genetic disease characterized by a loss of myelin surrounding nerve cells in the brain and progressive adrenal gland dysfunction. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a member of a group of diseases, leukodystrophies, that cause damage to the myelin sheath of nerve cells. Approximately one in 100,000 people is affected by ALD. There are three basic forms of ALD: childhood, adult-onset, and neonatal.

Osteochondroma Osteochondromas or osteocartilaginous exostoses are the most common benign tumors of the bones. The tumors take the form of cartilage-capped bony projections or outgrowth on the surface of bones. It is characterized as a type of overgrowth that can occur in any bone where cartilage forms bone. Tumors most commonly affect long bones in the leg, pelvis, or scapula. Development of osteochondromas take place during skeletal growth between the ages of 13 and 15 and ceases when the growth plate fuses

Bone: Enchondroma Malignant transformation of solitary enchondroma is extremely rare (1%). In the context of enchondromatosis ( Ollier disease, Maffucci syndrome) the risk of malignant transformation is increased up to 35%.

Enantioselective synthesis Enantioselective synthesis is a key process in modern chemistry and is particularly important in the field of pharmaceuticals, as the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity. chiral auxiliary is an organic compound which couples to the starting material to form new compound which can then undergo enantioselective reactions via intramolecular asymmetric induction. At the end of the reaction the auxiliary is removed, under conditions that will not cause racemization of the product.

- Well defined lytic lesions commonly found in hands and feet, metadiaphyses of long bones. Associated w/calcification in lesions outside of the hands and feet. Mafucci syndrome: Enchondromas of the hands and feet manifest as well defined lytic osseous lesions without chondroid matrix. Often discussed in the context of multiple encondromatoses such as Mafucci syndrome (in association with soft tissue hemangiomas) and Ollier's disease.

Encephalomalacia in the frontal lobe: complication of the endoscopic sinus surgery. 145 Followers. A. Hi what is below is from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22134284. Encephalomalacia is the softening or loss of brain tissue after cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. The term is usually used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue after infarction.

Enthesitis and Enthesopathy Explained The unit is referred to as the enthesis organ complex. Enthesopathy is any abnormal condition that affects the entheses (e.g., inflammation of the entheses). Enthesopathy may be due to an inflammatory condition, such as psoriatic arthritis, or a condition related to injury or overload, such as plantar fasciitis. Enthesitis refers to inflammation of the entheses.

- A neuroma is an often painful enlargement of one of your body’s nerves. Morton’s neuroma is the name used to describe nerve enlargement in your foot, particularly enlargement of one of the nerves traveling to your toes in your forefoot. Morton’s neuromas most commonly develop in one of your intermetatarsal nerves—one of many nerve branches within your foot that originated in your spine.

Resolve What is an Enantiomer Tuesday, 27 April 2010 09:37 jags An enantiomer is one of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are non-superposable. Enantiomers have identical chemical and physical properties except for their ability to rotate plane-polarized light (+/-) by equal amounts but in opposite directions.

Enchondroma They account for ~5% (range 3-10%) of all bone tumours and ~17.5% (range 12-24%) of benign bone tumours 1. Clinical presentation. Mostly, they are an incidental finding. They are usually asymptomatic, but may be complicated by a pathological fracture or malignant transformation into a low-grade chondrosarcoma. The latter is rare. It is important to note that if an enchondroma is painful in the absence of a fracture, it should be considered malignant. Pathology Enchondromas arise from rests of growth plate cartilage/chondrocytes that subsequently proliferate and slowly enlarge and are composed of mature hyaline cartilage.

- An enchondroma is a type of benign (noncancerous) bone tumor that originates from cartilage. Cartilage is the specialized, gristly connective tissue from which most bones develop.Cartilage plays an important role in the growth process. There are many different types of cartilage throughout the body.he following are the most common symptoms of an enchondroma. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Hand pain that may occur if the tumor is very large, or if the affected bone has weakened causing a hand fracture. Enlargement of the affected finger.

Schwannomatosis Schwannomatosis is a disorder characterized by multiple noncancerous (benign) tumors called schwannomas, which are a type of tumor that grows on nerves. Schwannomas develop when Schwann cells, which are specialized cells that normally form an insulating layer around the nerve, grow uncontrollably to form a tumor.

- What are paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma? Paraganglioma is a rare cancer that originates in the nerve cells of the adrenal glands, organs on top of each kidney that produce important hormones. Paraganglioma that develops in the center of the adrenal gland is called pheochromocytoma. Paraganglioma that forms outside of the adrenal gland, often along blood vessels and nerves in the head and neck, is called extra-adrenal paraganglioma, or simply paraganglioma.

Erythema Nodosum Erythema nodosum is a type of skin inflammation that is located in a certain portion of the fatty layer of skin.Erythema nodosum (also called EN) results in reddish, painful, tender lumps most commonly located in the front of the legs below the knees.The tender lumps, or nodules, of erythema nodosum range in size from one to five centimeters.The nodular swelling is caused by a inflammation in the fatty layer of skin. Erythema nodosum can be self-limited and resolve on its own in three to six weeks.Upon resolution, it may leave only a temporary bruised appearance or leave a chronic indentation in the skin where the fatty layer has been injured.he nodular swelling is caused by a inflammation in the fatty layer of skin.
