Presentation
Left hip pain.
Patient Data
Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
Oblique reconstructed CT from thin-section CT axial images demonstrates a mixed dense and lytic lesion expanding the metaphysis of the left femur. This is a non-aggressive lesion as it has narrow margins, no periosteal reaction and no soft tissue mass.
Coarsened trabeculae fill the medullary cavity and affect the cortex too.
The bone density of the femoral neck, of the trochanters and of the femoral epiphysis is diminished.
Case Discussion
A diagnosis of intraosseous hemangioma was given after a biopsy 11 years ago.
