Melorheostosis with Extraosseous Extension Mimicking a Cartilaginous Tumor: A Case Report
Olympia Lemontzis
TL;DR
A rare case of melorheostosis showed extraosseous features resembling a cartilaginous tumor, highlighting the need for combining anatomy and radiology for accurate diagnosis.
Contribution
Reports a rare case where melorheostosis mimicked a cartilaginous tumor, stressing the importance of anatomo-radiological correlation.
Findings
Melorheostosis can present with extraosseous extension resembling cartilaginous tumors.
Anatomo-radiological correlation is essential for accurate diagnosis when histology is inconclusive.
Abstract
Teaching point: Melorheostosis may exceptionally present with extraosseous extension mimicking a cartilaginous tumor, emphasizing the crucial role of anatomo-radiological correlation when histology is confusing.
