[Subperiosteal chondroma. Diagnostic contribution of x-ray computed tomography. Apropos of 2 cases].

Results of CT scan exploration are reported in two cases of subperiosteal chondroma, one in a 4 year old child affecting the anterior tibial tuberosity the other in a 9 year old child involving the upper end of humerus. Data from CT scan imaging were undoubtedly superior to those of conventional radiography and appear to be characteristic of this benign cartilaginous tumor, greatly facilitating correlation between clinical, radiological and pathologic findings. The scanner should allow certain situations to be dedramatized and the surgical attitude adapted when the functional prognosis is involved.

[Synovial cysts of unusual localization. 2 cases and review of the literature].

Two patients with true synovial cysts in atypical sites (internal compartment of knee and inguinal hollow) were investigated by radioarthrography, ultrasound and computed tomography imaging. The cyst in the hip region originated from a dilated serous bursa of the iliopsoas muscle that did not communicate or was no longer in communication with the joint. In contrast, the cyst of the knee appeared to be a lateral synovial capsule hernia. Positive diagnosis in both cases was dependent on combined ultrasound-CT scan imaging, this eliminating a tumor (sarcoma) of soft tissues. However, affirmation of the synovial origin (mesothelial covering of the wall) of the lesion was obtained by histology only, this allowing differentiation from a "capsular" (fibrous wall) cyst, which probably provokes similar ultrasound and CT scan images.
