From the case:
Bone infarction
Download
Info
Bilateral medullary lesions in femoral and tibial metaphyses with serpiginous border, sclerosis with internal lucencies. Proximal fibula fracture.
Case Discussion
Differentiation between bone infarction and enchondromas can be challenging. The bilateral and symmetrical distribution of these findings combined with the patient's history of alcoholism make the diagnosis of bone infarctions most likely.
