1/5. Distinguishing multiple rice body formation in chronic subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis from synovial chondromatosis.Multiple rice body formation is a complication of chronic bursitis. Although it resembles synovial chondromatosis clinically and on imaging, the literature suggests that analysis of radiographic and MR appearances should allow discrimination. We report the imaging findings in a 41-year-old man presenting with rice body formation in chronic subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis. We found that the signal intensity of the rice bodies is helpful in making the diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. Primary synovial osteochondromatosis presenting as constrictive capsulitis.Primary synovial chondromatosis of the joints can present as capsular constriction with peri-articular osteopenia. This rare presentation is highlighted in three cases (two hips and one shoulder). The diagnosis in all the patients was made on arthrography and/or MRI/CT and was confirmed histologically. Synovial chondromatosis should be considered in patients with this presentation. arthrography is the best imaging modality to confirm the cause (synovial chondromatosis) and effect (constrictive capsulitis).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Multiple rice body formation in chronic subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis: MR appearances.Multiple rice body formation is an unusual complication of chronic bursitis. Clinically and macroscopically, it can resemble synovial osteochondromatosis. Radiographic and MR appearances, however, may allow an accurate pre-operative diagnosis. The imaging features of two middle-aged women with multiple subacromial/subdeltoid bursa rice bodies are described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Rice body formation in bicipito-radial bursitis: ultrasound, CT, and MRI findings.The bicipito-radial bursa, which lies at the biceps tendon insertion on the radial tuberosity, is a rare site of chronic bursitis. We describe the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings in a case complicated by multiple rice body formation. In so doing, we describe MR appearances that allow discrimination of this entity from both synovial chondromatosis and pigmented villonodular synovitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. Nontuberculous mycobacterial bursitis and arthritis of the shoulder.A 56-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus developed septic arthritis and bursitis of the left shoulder due to an atypical mycobacterium, M. xenopi. Plain radiography, ultrasound (US), and MRI were performed. Articular disease by tuberculous and nontuberculous mycobacteria have similar presentations, clinically as well as radiologically, and have to be differentiated from other chronic bacterial or fungal infections, pigmented villonodular synovitis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, hemophilia, and synovial chondromatosis. Although atypical mycobacterial involvement of the skeleton and soft tissues is relatively uncommon, its incidence is increasing, as is the incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in western countries. The triad of Phemister is reemphasized, and the US and MRI findings are demonstrated. The definitive diagnosis has to be made by culturing biopsied synovium or synovial fluid.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
