De nombreuses maladies métaboliques peuvent atteindre la cheville et le tarse postérieur. Dans la phase aiguë, la goutte peut toucher l'arrière-pied, la cheville, le médio-tarse ou le tendon calcanéen. Une rougeur intense des tissus souscutanés du dos du pied peut être en rapport avec une inflammation liée à des microtophus sous-cutanés. Un diagnostic de certitude se fait par la mise en évidence de cristaux d'urate de sodium dans le liquide de ponction articulaire ou dans les tissus. L'imagerie par tomodensitométrie ou par échographie peut orienter de façon pratiquement certaine le diagnostic. Le traitement de la goutte de l'arrière-pied fait appel aux antiinflammatoires, aux anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens (AINS) et à la colchicine. Dans la phase chronique, un traitement hypo-uricémiant au long terme est à instaurer. L'hémochromatose se manifeste principalement sous forme d'une arthrose, liée souvent à une chondrocalcinose de la cheville et du tarse postérieur. L'enthésopathie hyperostosante diffuse peut causer des talalgies ou des douleurs du fascia plantaire liées à des exostoses. L'hypercholestérolémie familiale provoque souvent des xanthomes tendineux des tendons calcanéens. Des calcifications apatitiques de la région du talon peuvent s'observer, notamment chez des patients en hémodialyse chronique. Numerous metabolic diseases can affect the ankle and the hind-foot. In the acute phase, gout can affect the rear of the foot, the ankle, the mid-foot and the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon. Intense redness of the subcutaneous tissue of the back of the foot can be present in conjunction with inflammation associated with subcutaneous micro-tophaceous deposits. A definitive diagnosis is made by confirming the existence of sodium urate crystals in joint puncture fluid or in tissue. CT scan or ultrasonography images can also be used to provide a fairly definitive diagnosis. Treatment of gout of the rear of the foot requires the use of anti-inflammatory medication, NSAIDs and colchicine. In the chronic phase, long-term hypouricemic therapy is to be used. Haemochromatosis mainly shows in the form of arthritis, often associated with chondrocalcinosis of the ankle and hind-foot. A diffuse hyperostosis enthesopathy can cause talalgia or pain to the plantar fascia associated with exostoses. Familial hypercholesterolaemia often leads to tendinous xanthoma on the calcaneal tendons. Apatitic calcifications to the heel can also be observed, especially undergoing chronic haemodialysis.

Eyelid tumors are the most common neoplasm in daily ophthalmology practice and encompass a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors. In this retrospective study, we report the clinical and histological features of 5504 eyelid skin tumors diagnosed at the Laboratory of Ophthalmopathology of the Hôpital Ophtalmique Jules Gonin, Lausanne, Switzerland, between January 1989 and December 2007. Benign tumors largely predominated over malignant ones, representing 84% of cases in this series, and the 5 most frequent subtypes were squamous cell papilloma (26%), seborrheic keratosis (21%), melanocytic nevus (20%), hidrocystoma (8%), and xanthoma/xanthelasma (6%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent malignant tumor (86%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (7%) and sebaceous carcinoma (3%). For several tumor subtypes, there was a poor correlation between clinical and histological diagnosis, stressing the numerous pitfalls in the diagnosis of eyelid tumors. We further discuss our results with reference to previously published series.
