Pseudotumoral cystitis.

Pseudotumoral cystitis is an unusual lesion and since it may be confused with rhabdomyosarcoma, knowledge of its existence is important. We report eight cases.

[Striated osteopathy].

Striated osteopathy, a roentgenological entity characterized by longitudinal striations, can occur concomitantly with a number of disorders which should be routinely looked for. There are three types of striated osteopathy. The pure form without severe bone disorders is the form originally reported by Voorhoeve. In the second form, there is a concomitant fibrous dysplasia, such as Jaffe-Lichtenstein-Uehlinger disease, Ollier enchondromatosis, sponastrism dysplasia, or osteopetrosis. This group also includes bone dysplasias with sclerosis such as melorheostosis, osteopecilia, and sclerosis of the base of the skull which is sometimes seen in patients with striated osteopathy. In the third form, striated osteopathy occurs concomitantly with a skin disease such as patchy dermal hypoplasia or hyperpigmented skin lesions.

[Multiple finger geodes in children].

Three pediatric patients with multiple geodes in the fingers are reported. This condition occurs mainly between one and three years and at seven years of age and is more common in winter. Affected fingers are swollen. Roentgenograms disclose several small lucent defects which are usually located in the middle phalanx. Several fingers are usually involved. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is increased in virtually every case. Resolution occurs spontaneously within a few weeks or months. There is no tendency towards recurrence. Although the condition is inflammatory, exposure to cold is probably a precipitating factor.
