Abstract

We describe the case of a white male with chronic inflammation of one knee, the sternoclavicular area and the dorsal spine, who also had pustulosis palmaris et plantaris. Radiological changes were suggestive of pustulotic arthroosteitis. Our patient had prominent peripheral joint changes not previously emphasized.

Multiple maxillary and mandibular exostoses associated with multiple dermatofibromas: a case report.

Exostoses of the maxilla and mandible are nodular protuberances of mature bone that need to be accurately distinguished from other more diagnostically significant lesions, notably exosteal osteomas. Multiple dermatofibromas are rare and may be associated with altered immune function. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 47-year-old woman who was first seen with multiple maxillary and mandibular exostoses associated with multiple dermatofibromas. This association has not been previously reported.

Solitary exostosis of the thoracic spine. Early diagnosis and treatment.

STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVE: To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of vertebral exostosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Few cases of spinal cord compression caused by solitary thoracic exostoses have been reported. METHOD: A solitary exostosis in the midline of the neural arch of the fifth thoracic vertebra, causing compression of the spinal cord documented on both magnetic resonance and computed tomographic examinations, is reported in a 51-year-old woman who had normal findings in a neurologic examination. RESULTS: The exostosis was successfully excised. CONCLUSION: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of vertebral exostoses is possible using magnetic resonance and computed tomography. Early excision avoids the development of a permanent neurologic deficit.
