RESUMO
Exostosis, or osteochondroma, represents the most prevalent primary benign bone tumor, often viewed as a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm. This article presents 2 cases illustrating complications associated with tibial osteochondroma. The first case involves a 25-year-old patient with recurrent medial knee pain attributed to pes anserine bursitis secondary to tibial osteochondroma, managed successfully with surgical excision. The second case features a 15-year-old with similar symptoms and unsuccessful conservative management, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options for this condition. Discussion encompasses the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities including MRI and ultrasound, and management strategies such as conservative measures, corticosteroid injections, and surgical excision. Recognizing and promptly managing complications like pes anserine bursitis in tibial osteochondroma is crucial to prevent chronic pain and functional impairment, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and physical therapists.
RESUMO
Intussusception is a rare condition in adults, unlike in children, with a variety of etiologies. In most cases, it is secondary to tumors. acute intussusception on lipoma is very exceptional. We report a case of 68-year-old female patient, diagnosed with intestinal intussusception on lipoma.
RESUMO
Behçet disease is a rare vasculitis that affects vessels of different body parts, causing different kinds of manifestations. We report a case of a 47 years old woman who had a tumor necrosis factor alfa blocker prescription due to a Behçet's disease relapse. The patient then developed a cerebral and pulmonary tuberculous miliary due to immunodeficiency. The aim of this work is to show that tuberculosis infection is a common complication of the administration of tumor necrosis factor alfa blocker, and the importance to perform a tuberculosis screening before starting the treatment.
