A prolonged case of Mycobacterium marinum flexor tenosynovitis: radiographic and histological correlation, and review of the literature.

We report on a 30-year-old man with prolonged Mycobacterium marinum flexor tenosynovitis. Due to low clinical suspicion, diagnosis was not made until 8 years after initial presentation. The history and magnetic resonance and tissue examination findings are consistent with mycobacterial tenosynovitis. These findings are presented, together with a review of the literature.

Giant bone island of femur. Case report, literature review, and its distinction from low grade osteosarcoma.

A 42-year old male with the largest reported giant bone island (10.5 cm in length) is presented. Due to its ominous size, association with some degree of pain and increased uptake on radionuclide bone scan, a biopsy was considered necessary definitively to rule out a slow-growing osteosarcoma or blastic metastasis. Documentation of growth in adult patients of conventional and giant bone islands, coupled with evidence of increased radionuclide uptake, makes the clinicoradiological distinction between bone islands and blastic malignancies difficult. Guidelines for biopsy versus serial radiographic follow-up of such lesions are addressed.

Case report 827: Miliary osteosarcomatosis.

We presented the case of a 26-year-old woman with a blastic, miliary form of osteosarcomatosis involving the axial skeleton, skull, and long bones to the elbow and knee joint regions who subsequently developed hypocalcemic tetany. Radiologically the lesions mimicked the spread of breast carcinoma, and because of the distribution of the lesions we surmised that the spread was by means of Batson's vertebral plexus of veins. The literature on multiple osteosarcomas was reviewed and an updated clinical subclassification of patients with multiple skeletal osteosarcomas presented.
