MATERIALS & METHODS: An 18-month-old girl presented with a gradually enlarging bulbous swelling of the left ring and little finger since birth. Both fingers were swollen and sausage like with marked ulna deviation of the distal phalanges. The swellings were asymmetrical, soft, smooth and multilobulated extending over the dorsum of the hand from the metacarpophalangeal joints till the distal interphalangeal joints (Figure 1) and compromised the function of both digits. Radiograph showed a large soft tissue shadow with no bony involvement. MRI revealed a large subcutaneous tissue mass of the ring and little fingers with no definite margins. The mass was homogenous in consistency, hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T2 weighted sequence indicating presence of fat. The provisonal diagnosis was macrodystrophic lipomatosa of the ulnar nerve as the bones were normal in size and the nonfatty dominance of the mass atypical of such lesion. She then underwent two debulking surgeries.

Many of our chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients venture into complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to seek a cure for the disease beyond conventional management. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of CAM usage; and its association with the progression of CKD in our population. This was a cross-sectional survey recruited CKD patients from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC). Data was collected via interview using questionnaires which explore the demographics, type and pattern of CAM use. Patients’ comorbidities and serum creatinine were extracted from the medical notes to assess the association between progression of CKD and usage of CAM. Chi-square, Independent Samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression were used to evaluate for an association. Three hundred and seventy two eligible patients were recruited. The prevalence of CAM use was 29% in the past year. Younger age, higher education and higher income level were associated with significantly more usage of CAM. Natural products were the commonest type of CAM used (86.1%). The belief in the effectiveness of CAM was the main reason for its uptake and about 57.8% revealed their practice to their physician. We found that the use of CAM in Malaysian CKD patients did not influence the progression of the disease.
