Abstract

Granulomatous prostatitis is a rare chronic inflammation and its etiology is not well understood. There is difficulty in differential diagnosis with prostatic cancer. But RMN and ultrasound guided biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. The authors report 15 cases and discuss etiological, clinical and diagnostic aspects.

Erdheim Chester disease: a rare cause of knee and leg pain.

A case of Erdheim Chester disease in a 51-year-old Turkish patient is described. Erdheim Chester disease is a rare form of lipoid granulomatosis. Knee and leg pain are the most common symptoms, and physicians working in orthopaedics and traumatology are the first to be consulted. Our patient demonstrated a typical bilateral, symmetric sclerosis of the metaphyseal region of long bones of the lower extremity, histologic examination revealed foamy, lipid-loaded histiocytes. The patient also suffered from arterial hypertension, diabetes insipidus and exophthalmos of the left eye. The diagnosis was confirmed by a bone biopsy, and the patient was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids and vincristine.
