These tumors are most often found in the knee and digits of the hand. Although recurrence is a common feature of both conditions, multifocal lesions are rare. We present an unusual case of multifocal, recurrent, bilateral GCTTS/PVNS involving both upper and lower extremities. Recurrent right ankle and right index finger masses, in addition to masses on the right small finger and left thumb, were excised over a 14-year period.

This retrospective cohort study of 153 individuals with type 1 diabetes for >10 yr duration (mean duration: 13.1 yr) included participants in the Chang Gung Juvenile Diabetes Eye Study. Risk factors assessed for association with DR included age, gender, age at onset and duration of diabetes, self-reported smoking, blood pressure, lipid profile, urinalysis, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index, spherical equivalent, and axial length of the eyeball. There were 128 patients without DR and 25 patients with DR. The mean age at onset was 7.0 ± 4.0 yr (mean ± standard deviation). Cox proportional-hazards analysis showed that older-onset age (p = 0.001), higher HbA1c (p = 0.013), and higher triglyceride concentration (p = 0.015) were the strongest correlates of DR after adjustment for diabetes duratio...
