Osseous spinal sarcoidosis: an unusual but important entity to remember

Florid Cemento-osseous Dysplasia – an Unusual Entity a Case Report

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FLCOD) is a rare, but well recognized condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle aged women. It usually manifests radiographically as a diffuse, lobulated and irregularly shaped radio-opacities distributed throughout the alveolar processes which are usually bilaterally symmetrical.

Sarcoidosis: An unusual presentation.

A 35-year-old man presented with a 3-year history of arthralgia and purple coloration of the skin of his fingers and feet. Hand and foot radiography showed cystic bone lesions on phalanges suggestive of sarcoidosis. Lab tests revealed increased liver enzymes. Liver MRI evidenced an enlarged liver and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Histological analysis of the finger skin, lymph nodes and live...

An unusual case of sarcoidosis.

In the early stages of sarcoidosis the pulmonary as well as the constitutional symptoms are usually minimal or absent in spite of the marked radiological changes in the chest radiograph (Davidson and Macleod 1972, Krupp and Chatton 1972, Price 1973). The manifestation of sarcoidosis in the various organs rarely precedes the pulmonary hilar lymphadenopathy (Sommer 1963). On the other hand, in th...

An Unusual MRI Appearance of Osseous Metastases

Bone metastases can present in a wide variety of appearances across all imaging modalities. We present a unique appearance of a distal femoral metastasis in a patient who initially complained of knee pain. The radiographic and CT findings were initially suspicious for calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) arthropathy; however, an MRI demonstrated multiple lesions with a lamellated appearance ...
