Popliteal arteriovenous malformation
Discussion:
When I reviewed the radiograph (not included) I was wondering what lesion could have both benign intramedullary margins and at the same time an aggressive cortical margin. High flow vascular malformations can result in pressure necrosis of bone. Another theory is that the large volume of blood being shunted directly bypasses the bone, resulting in less nutrition and secondary avascular necrosis.
