The Morasko Meteorite nature reserve is located in Morasko, on the northern edge of the city of Poznań, Poland. In this area the biggest known in Central Europe iron meteorite fall occurred. New mineral phases Moraskoite Na2Mg(PO4)F and Czochralskiite Na4Ca3Mg(PO4)4 have been discovered in the Morasko Meteorite. Both are phosphates, which exist as a parts of nodules – oval inclusions which occur in some iron meteorites, including the Morasko Meteorite. This paper describes the results of our investigation on nodules separated from the Morasko meteorite. Among others, the silicates in form of pyroxene from clinoenstatite group and olivines from forsterite group were found. The presence of phosphates in the form of merrillites was confirmed by electron microprobe analyser. In the metallic parts, on contact between kamacite and taenite crystals, rims (lammelas) composed of tetrataenite were detected. This phase is known to have hard-magnetic properties and could be used as cheaper equivalent for commonly used compounds based on rare earth elements for permanent magnets production.

Knuckle pads are rare harmless subcutaneous nodules that must be differentiated from joint disease of the proximal interphalangeal or rarely of the metacarpophalangeal joints as well as from other masses of the paraarticular tissues. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 36-year-old woman presenting with bilateral knuckle pads located at the dorsal aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joints. No predisposition to a specific musculoskeletal disorder was noted. Ultrasound revealed well-delimited subcutaneous hypoechoic masses without internal flow signals at color Doppler. Histology showed proliferation of myofibroblasts with a decrease of elastic filaments in the deep dermis. The clinical picture, the family history in addition to the histology allowed us to make the diagnosis of knuckle pads. We present the ultrasound findings of knuckle pads and discuss the differential diagnosis of a “swelling” in the dorsal region of proximal interphalangeal joints and metacarpophalangeal joints.

Palce poduszeczkowate (knuckle pads), potocznie zwane guzkami kłykciowymi, są rzadkimi i łagodnymi zmianami podskórnymi, które należy różnicować z chorobą stawu międzypaliczkowego bliższego i, rzadziej, stawu śródręczno‑paliczkowego,a także z innymi masami/zmianami okołostawowymi. Prezentujemy przypadek 36‑letniej zdrowej kobiety, u której stwierdzono obustronne guzki zlokalizowane po stronie grzbietowej stawów międzypaliczkowych bliższych. Badanie ultrasonograficzne wykazało wyraźnie odgraniczone, hipoechogeniczne guzki zlokalizowane podskórnie, bez cech obecności nieprawidłowego unaczynienia w badaniu kolorowym dopplerem. W badaniu histopatologicznym ujawniono proliferację miofibroblastów oraz zmniejszenie liczby włókien elastycznych w głębokich warstwach skóry właściwej. Obraz kliniczny, wywiad rodzinny oraz badania histologiczne pomogły w ustaleniu rozpoznania. W artykule przedstawiamy ultrasonograficzny obraz palców poduszeczkowatych oraz diagnostykę różnicową pogrubienia tkanek miękkich okolicy grzbietowej stawów międzypaliczkowego bliższego i śródręczno‑paliczkowego.
