Primary synovial chondromatosis is of unknown origin and presents between the age of 40 and 50 while secondary synovial chondromatosis is a result of degenerative change in the joint and presents later.

Synovial Chondromatosis with Concerning Features on Histopathology

Ramanathan RM Palaniappan and Michael Hunter

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 6

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare benign condition which involves synovial metaplasia and proliferation resulting in formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules in the synovium of the joints. It most commonly involves large joints such as hips and knee and is less frequently present in smaller joints. While it is a benign condition, primary synovial chondromatosis (PSC) can undergo malignant transformation into synovial chondrosarcoma. Their clinical and radiological features are very simil...

Aggressive Necrotizing Fasciitis in a 12-Year-Old Girl of Unknown Etiology: Diagnosis, Therapy, and Prognosis

Saad Madi, MD, Bernd Hillrichs, MD and Jorg Gleißner, MD

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 6

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe, life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by rapidly spreading necrosis of fascia and subcutaneous tissue with fulminant course and rapid fatal evolution. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with edema and redness of the left feet without any traumatic event. 48-hours later, her symptoms worsened, and sepsis developed. After a diagnosis of NF was established, surgery was immediately performed followed by plastic reconstructio...
