We present an unusual case of a biopsy-provenMycobacterium chelonaeinfection (MCI) of skin and soft tissue, which led to osteomyelitis in a 55-year-old Caucasian male. We provide clinical data and discussion about MCI and its diagnostic workup and demonstrate comprehensive imaging findings, including clinical pictures, radiographs, three-phase bone scintigraphy, and combined SPECT/CT findings of this entity, which have not yet been presented in the medical literature.

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a benign and slow-growing solitary soft-tissue neoplasm. Since being described in 2001, more than 100 cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma on the foot have been reported worldwide, none of which have been reported in the podiatric medical literature. Only nine cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma have been reported with presentation on the plantar heel. We report an unusual case of a 47-year-old Jamaican woman with a painful, erythematous nodule on her right heel that was diagnosed as superficial acral fibromyxoma.

Musculoskeletal Involvement

Skeletal tubercular infections that do not involve the spine or large joints are rarely encountered. This case series aims to highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosing skeletal tuberculosis (TB) at uncommon sites in clinically unsuspected patients by demonstrating specific imaging findings. We present the clinical details and imaging findings of seven pathologically confirmed cases of extraspinal skeletal TB. A multimodality imaging approach including radiography, ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan was used in most cases. The imaging studies revealed an infective soft tissue collection over different sites including the sternoclavicular joint, acromion process, chest wall and temporo-mandibular joint, along with destruction and erosion of the underlying or adjacent bones. In tubercular endemic countries, strong clinical suspicion should be entertained in cases presenting with a soft tissue collection, even around unusual skeletal sites.

Fibrovascular Ingrowth

Hydroxyapatite (HA) implants were used as grafting materials to fill some of the root resections in three patients. Two of the patients had previous root resections without implant insertion. Being implanted to the resection sites, the porous structure of HA serves as a framework for vascular and soft tissue ingrowth. Previous reports on the utilization of three phase nuclear bone scintigraphy (NBS) to evaluate the degree of fibrovascular ingrowth into HA dental implants after surgery are scarce. Three cases are described in which bone scintigraphy was performed at 6 months after implant insertion. The images revealed technetium-99m methylenediphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) uptake at dental implant sites consistent with vascularization and osteoconduction. The current results strongly indicate that osseointegration is complete. This study demonstrates that NBS is a valuable test in the follow up of osseointegration rate at implantation sites and HA is found to be a good biomaterial for grafting purposes showing high osseointegration rates.

Primary Bone

Whole-body scintigraphy with both 99mTc-phosphonate and 67Ga was performed on 92 patients suspected of primary bone tumors. In 46 patients with primary malignant bone tumors, scintigraphy with 99mTc-phosphonate disclosed the primary tumor in 44 cases and skeletal metastases in 11, and 67Ga scintigraphy detected the primary tumor in 43 cases, skeletal metastases in 6 cases and soft-tissue metastases in 8 cases. In 25 patients with secondary malignant bone tumors, bone scintigraphy visualized a single lesion in 10 cases and several lesions in 15 cases, and 67Ga scintigraphy detected the primary tumor in 17 cases, skeletal metastases in 17 cases and soft-tissue metastases in 9 cases. In 21 patients with benign bone disease positive uptake of 99mTc-phosphonate was recognized in 19 cases and uptake of 67Ga in 17 cases. It is concluded that bone scintigraphy should be used in patients suspected of primary bone tumors. If malignancy is suspected, 67Ga scintigraphy should be performed in addition.

Retropharyngeal Space

Pharyngeal injuries caused by trauma are common and have been reported previously in the medical literature. In some cases of a penetrating injury there is a collection of air in the retropharyngeal space that can be shown on lateral soft tissue radiography of the neck. If this condition is not diagnosed or adequately treated the patient may develop severe complications such as mediastinitis. A case is reported of a patient with penetrating injury caused by a pencil and the subsequent treatment with review literature are described.

Low Incidence

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm which typically originates from liver, lung, or bone. Due to the low incidence of disease, the most effective treatment is not easily studied and much of the information known about EHE has been learned through case reports and case series. In this case, we will present an uncommon form of primary soft tissue EHE with local recurrence, bone metastasis, and lymphangitic spread to the lungs leading to respiratory failure. Imaging of the chest was atypical for EHE with intraseptal thickening and hilar lymphadenopathy. Respiratory failure was progressive despite aggressive multimodal treatment. This case highlights an unusually aggressive recurrence and metastasis of primary soft tissue EHE with atypical pulmonary imaging findings.
