Abstract

A 3-year-old Pit bull terrier dog had left hindlimb lameness for 3-weeks. On plain radiographs, geographic osteolysis with well-defined edges and marginal sclerosis was identified in medial aspect of left proximal tibialmetaphysis. Surgical debridement and curettage was performed. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. grew on a culture specimen obtained during surgery, and Brodie's abscess was diagnosed.

3년령의 핏불테리어 견이 3주간의 좌측후지 파행을 주증상으로 내원하였다. 일반방사선검사상에서 경계명확한 골용해소견과 경계부위의 경화소견이 좌측 근위경골골간단의 내측면에서 관찰되었다. 수술적 소파술이 실시되었으며, Staphylococcus spp.가 수술중에 채취한 샘플의 배양결과 확인되었다. 이상의 검사결과를 바탕으로 브로디씨 농양으로 진단하였다.
