我们提供了一例恶性骨病的病例报告,并通过影像学发现了潜在的皮质吸收。已经描述了许多melorheostosis的射线照相模式;但是,新骨形成和原始皮质吸收的结合显得独特。尽管在已发表的研究中已经假设存在潜在的裂解,尚未报道过骨性骨吸收的直接影像学证据。这些发现可能是微妙的,使用标准成像可能会被忽视。对射线照相特征进行了深入的回顾,包括磁共振成像和计算机断层扫描的多模态成像。
We present a
case report of melorheostosis with the novel radiographic finding of underlying cortical resorption. A number of radiographic patterns of melorheostosis have been described; however, the combination of new bone formation and resorption of the original cortex appears unique. Although the presence of underlying lysis has been postulated in published studies, direct radiographic evidence of bony resorption in melorheostosis has not been reported. These findings can be subtle and might go unnoticed using standard imaging. An in-depth review of the radiographic features is presented, including multimodality imaging with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.
