<v ->And the last case for this actually is a kid,
0:05
a 14-year-old girl
0:08
that came with a mass in the shoulder.
0:11
We can see in the plain film a soft tissue expansion here.
0:18
No calcification,
0:21
doesn't look like any articular stuff here.
0:24
And let's take a look
0:27
at the MR.
0:32
T1.
0:37
And T2 here.
0:41
So what can we see here
0:44
is that we have nodules
0:49
inside the subacromial bursa.
0:52
The bursa is distended by fluid,
0:54
but the nodules, they have a characteristic.
0:59
They have high signal intensity in the central part,
1:04
and they have a low signal on the periphery.
1:09
So this is very typical sign of a cartilaginous nodule.
1:15
And
1:20
also
1:22
the post-contrast showed no enhancement
1:26
of the nodule,
1:27
a lot of enhancement of the bursa
1:31
because of the inflammatory process.
1:35
If you wait after the injection of contrast,
1:39
the synovial will get the,
1:44
the inflamed synovial will get the contrast
1:46
inside the bursa, like indirect arthography,
1:49
so inject, wait a little bit.
1:51
So doesn't seem like you have vascular.
1:57
It's all inflammatory fluid here
1:59
and the thick wall.
2:02
And also we had some ganglion lymph nodes
2:09
near the trapezial muscle here.
2:14
And this turned out to be,
2:22
this turned out to be this,
2:27
this is a picture of the surgery
2:30
showing the nodules, the cartilaginous nodules,
2:33
bursal chondromatosis.
2:36
So it's an analogous to synovial chondromatosis,
2:40
but is a metaplasia of the bursal membrane.
2:44
So it's very, the pathogenesis is very similar, okay.
2:52
Don, that's all my last case of this session.
2:55
<v ->I'm just curious why they,
2:57
do you have a reason for why
2:59
there was lymph node enlargement?
3:04
<v ->No, that's a good question.
3:07
Because probably the inflammatory process,
3:11
not infectious, but inflammatory.
3:14
And after they did the surgery,
3:17
the lymph node, they disappeared.
3:19
I did not find good articles
3:23
about that entity on the literature.
3:25
I will try to publish this case here,
3:28
I think it's a unique case, this.
3:30
<v ->I think it's a good case.
3:31
And as you know, we had discussed it,
3:33
and I thought the differential for me
3:36
was whether that was tuberculous bursitis with rice bodies.
3:40
You know, and so, but that's a beautiful example,
3:43
and the surgery is very, very nice.
