This concludes our discussion

0:03

of foot and ankle masses.

0:06

I've tried to show you masses that are

0:09

specifically related to the lower extremity.

0:11

For instance, the synovial sarcoma.

0:13

Unfortunately, it loves, it loves

0:16

the foot and the lower extremity.

0:18

I've also shown you some lesions that

0:21

don't typically occur in the lower

0:22

extremity, like giant cell tumor.

0:24

But I started this lecture with a large,

0:27

bizarre, cystic mass of the great toe

0:30

with a pretty broad differential

0:32

diagnosis that we eventually winnowed down and

0:35

we came up with the diagnosis of a ganglion,

0:38

eventually included in our differential.

0:40

I believe that was our second choice and

0:43

histologically, it turned out to be a ganglion.

0:45

And then we went all the way through a

0:47

series of lesions, some with iron, some with

0:49

hemosiderin, some with fibrous tissue,

0:52

some systic, and we concluded, again with another

0:55

cystic mass, the one at the very end was

0:57

more focal, isolated to the peroneus brevis.

1:00

So I hope I've given you an approach to

1:03

diagnosing masses that occur in the foot,

1:06

that are unique to the foot, and I don't

1:08

think it gets any more unique than plantar

1:10

fibromatosis or Ledderhose's disease.

1:13

I hope you've enjoyed this session

1:15

that we've shared together.

1:16

Good luck. Thanks.
