Abstract We present a case of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae spondylodiscitis in an otherwise healthy man, occurring one year after exposure. The patient was cured after 6-weeks treatment with amoxicillin followed by ciprofloxacin without surgery. E. rhusiopathiae can cause severe osteoarticular infections with a delayed presentation following the exposure to the pathogen.

SummaryA case of a 49-year-old man suffering from bilateral adrenocortical carcinoma with local and secondary rapid progression is reported. The results of adrenocortical scintigraphy (NP 59) and histological findings allowed the diagnosis. This case report and a literature review showed the importance of using adrenocortical scintigraphy as a complementary imaging procedure of CT or MR images.
