Multiple pseudo-cystic tuberculosis of bone; report of a case.
نویسنده
چکیده
Multiple pseudo-cyst formation is an uncommon manifestation of skeletal tuberculosis. Confusion has been caused by the failure to differentiate between this form of osseous tuberculosis, the solitary foci of diaphysial tuberculous osteitis, tuberculous dactylitis, and the bone lesions of sarcoidosis. This confusion has largely been due to Jungling (1920, 1928) who, believing them to be of tuberculous etiology, gave the name osteitis tuberculosa multiplex cystica (afterwards changed to cystoides to indicate their pseudo-cystic nature) to the lesions he found in the small bones of the hands and feet in certain cases of sarcoidosis. Since then cases of tuberculous cystic bone disease with lesions quite unlike those associated with sarcoidosis have been given the eponymous title or described as examples of osteitis tuberculosa multiplex cystica or cystoides. This anomaly has not passed unnoticed, for Ellis (1940), Sweet and Abramson (1941), Golding (1950), Alexander and Mansuy (1950), and Komins (1952), among others, have drawn attention to it. That confusion still exists, however, is shown in a recent paper by Girdwood (1953) in which an atypical case of tuberculous dactylitis was described as an example of Jungling’s disease. Komins (1952) has attempted to clear up the muddle in the early literature. He accepted
