Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis manifested as painful clavicular Swelling: a case report
BMC Research Notes, 2014Co-Authors: Markus Bleckwenn, Bernd Sommer, Klaus WeckbeckerAbstract:Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a form of non-bacterial osteomyelitis which occurs primarily in childhood. In some cases painful Bone Swelling occurs. After a malignancy has been ruled out, antibiotic therapy is often started to treat the osteomyelitis. The course of this benign disease is self-limiting and is not positively affected by the antibiotic therapy. A 14-year-old German girl from South Africa came to the surgery with painful Swelling in the right clavicle. The condition had first appeared two months earlier. The patient was unable to identify a trigger. In addition, the patient exhibited painless Swelling in the area of the 5th metatarsal of the left foot. Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis was diagnosed based on characteristic clinical symptoms and imaging. Treatment with ibuprofen had caused the symptoms to regress rapidly. The case demonstrates to general practitioners and other clinicians that a prolonged administration of antibiotics can be prevented by means of a comprehensive diagnostic procedure for possible bacterial osteomyelitis.

Bone Relapse in T Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a Child: A CaseReport and Review of Literature
Archives of Medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Jp MeenaAbstract:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. T-cell ALL accounts for 10% to 15% of cases. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia can rarely relapse in unusual extra medullary sites like Bone. Hereby, we report a case of 7-years old male child presented with left arm Swelling, initially confused with Bone tumor but later found to be infiltration by leukemic blasts. We reviewed all previous cases and suggest that in a patient of ALL presenting with a Bone Swelling during or after completion of therapy, one should suspect of Bone relapse.

Bone relapse in T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a child.
Oxford Medical Case Reports, 2018Co-Authors: Jagdish Prasad Meena, Abdul Ahad, Aditya Gupta, Saumyaranjan Mallick, Rachna SethAbstract:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. T-cell ALL accounts for 10-15% of cases. ALL can rarely relapse in unusual extramedullary sites like Bone. Hereby, we report a case of 7-year-old male child who was being treated for T-cell ALL and then presented with left arm Swelling. This Swelling was initially thought to be a Bone tumor but later it was found to be infiltrated by leukemic blasts. We reviewed all previous cases and suggest that in a patient of ALL presenting with a Bone Swelling during or after completion of therapy, one should suspect of Bone relapse.
