متن کاملMultifocal musculoskeletal tuberculosis mimicking multiple bone metastases: a case report
BACKGROUND The occurrence of non-contiguous, multiple, and remote involvement tuberculous spondylitis is rare. The clinical presentation in patients with multifocal musculoskeletal tuberculosis may closely mimic that in patients with multiple bone metastases, which makes the accurate clinical diagnosis challenging. Herein, we report a multifocal musculoskeletal tuberculosis case that was misdia...
متن کاملMultifocal skeletal tuberculosis involving the lumbar spine and iliac bone, mimicking a malignant bone tumour: a case report.
ABSTRACT Multifocal osteoarticular tuberculosis is uncommon and accounts for approximately10% of all cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis. Concomitant vertebral and iliac bone tuberculosis has not been reported in the literature to date. We report one such case for its unusual clinical and radiological presentation, which had presentation more similar to a malignant bone tumour than an infectio...
متن کاملBone scintigraphy in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis
A 10-year-old boy was referred to us for evaluation of FUO accompanied with bone pain in both calves. Three hours after intravenous injection of 13 mCi of 99mTc-MDP, whole body scan in multiple spot views was performed. The scan showed symmetrical areas of diffusely increased tracer uptake in multiple long bones. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed osteosclrosis and fibrotic changes...
