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

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.
