متن کاملSymmetrical Brodie's abscess.
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is often confused with symmetrical Brodie's abscess as it has a similar pathogenesis. We report an otherwise healthy 17-year-old boy presenting with a true symmetrical Brodie's abscess. We conclude that a symmetrical Brodie's abscess presenting in an otherwise healthy patient is a separate clinical condition with a different management protocol.
متن کاملBrodie's abscess of the femoral neck simulating osteoid osteoma.
Subacute osteomyelitis (Brodie's abscess) is essentially a problem of diagnosis, and there may be considerable difficulty in distinguishing it from other benign and malignant bone lesions. Though reported in the metaphyseal region of the femur, Brodie's abscess is rarer in the femoral neck. The authors present a case of Brodie's abscess in the femoral neck, which clinico-radiologically simulate...

The nonspecific nature of the symptoms leads to a delay in the diagnosis. Radiographs may mimic pyogenic osteomyelitis, Brodie's abscess, tumours or granulomatous lesions. Curettage of the lesion and the histopathological examination of th...
