Brodie abscess is a localized form of chronic or subacute osteomyelitis that occurs most often in the long bones of the lower extremities of young adults. Involvement of the flat or small bones is less common. And there is no report of Brodie abscess which has two different lesion. We report a case of Brodie abscess of talus and distal tibia.

Primary subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis, or Brodie's abscess has received much attention since its initial documentation in the literature in 1832 by Sir Benjamin Brodie. Brodie's abscess is a localized form of chronic osteomyelitis that occurs most often in the metaphyseal area of the long bones of the lower extremities of young adults, Intermittent pain of long duration is the presenting complaint, along with local tenderness over the affected area. Laboratory evaluation is unrevealing, with a normal white blood cell count and differential count. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate may also be normal. Roentgenogram shows a markedly varied appearance and an abscess may be easily mistaken for various neoplasm. The most common organism cultured from abscess is Staphylococcus species. Treatment includes curettage of the lesion and administration of antibiotics. We present a case report (with a 1-year follow-up period), demonstrating the successful surgical treatment of Brodie's abscess of the distal metaphysis of the left tibia caused by Salmonella cholerasuis in a 33-year-0ld male who had no hemoglobinopathy.

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.
