A 73-year-old woman presented with a recurrent cystic mass around her left olecranon. She had a history of 8 steroid injections due to elbow pain beginning 3 years ago and twice had undergone aspiration of olecranon bursitis that developed two months prior to presentation. She had been taking medications for hypertension and diabetes with no pertinent past history. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there were multiple nodules in the olecranon bursa, which were isointense to muscle on T1-weighted images and hyperintense to muscle on T2-weighted images. Our initial diagnosis was synovial chondromatosis. On bursoscopy, masses of gray-white colored nodules were observed in the bursa. Finally, synovial chondromatosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection were concurrently diagnosed. In conclusion, uncalcified synovial chondromatosis and rice bodies can have similar visual and MRI characteristics; therefore, we suggest that clinicians should be aware of the possibility of other infections in cases of this type.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by cartilaginous proliferation in the synovium. The cartilaginous nodules occur in the synovial membrane of a joint, bursa, or tendon sheath. It frequents large joints including knee, hip, and elbow. Synovial chondromatosis originating from the first metatarsal is extremely rare. We report a case of 37-year-old man with synovial chondromatosis of the first metatarsal.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon benign lesion characterized by metaplastic cartilage formation within the synovial connective tissue, usually intraarticular, commonly affects the knee, hip and elbow. An extraarticular lesion is rare, most often seen in a synovial sheath and bursa of the hand or foot. We present a case of extraarticular synovial chondromatosis in the left ankle, originated from the FHL tendon sheath of a 31 year-old-female diagnosed by a radiography, MRI confirmed histopathologically.

A bursa is an obstructive sac filled with synovial fluid and usually occurs in any area of the body exposed to friction. The bursa of the ankle is not a normal anatomical structure and is caused by repetitive trauma, constant friction, or inflammatory disease of the ankle. Bursitis can occur in any bursa in the human body; however it rarely progresses to septic arthritis. We report a rare case of septic ankle arthritis following intractable lateral malleolar bursitis successfully treated with negative-pressure wound therapy.

Synovial chondromatosis is a benign lesion forming multiple round cartilagenous nodules or osseous loose bodies in joint cavity. Predilection sites are known as knee, hip and elbow joints. However, the involvement of ankle joint was rarely reported in the literature. Moreover, extraarticular chondromatosis in synovial sheath or bursa of extremities is extremely rare. We present a case of synovial chondromatosis of the left ankle joint and flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath.

Scapulothoracic bursitis, an uncommon lesion, has been reported to be a painful disorder of scapulothoracic articulation. The articulation may become inflamed secondary to trauma when overused because of sports or work that requires repetitive or constant movement of the scapula against the posterior chest wall. The bursitis usually appears as a growing mass at the scapulothoracic interface and is often confused with a soft tissue tumor. We report on a patient with scapulothoracic bursitis who underwent surgical excision.

85세 여자 환자에서 발생한 결핵성 삼각근하 점액낭염을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다. 인접 관절의 침범 없이 발생하는 결핵성 점액낭염은 드물며 외상을 받기 쉬운 대전자, 슬개전 및 주두 점액낭 등에 주로 발생하지만 어느 곳에나 발생 할 수 있다. 결핵성 삼각근하 점액낭염에서 견관절 전외측부 통증, 압통 및 충돌 징후 양성 등 임상 증상 및 이학적 검사는 회전근 개 질환과 유사하며 자기공명영상 검사 및 관절경 소견에서 관찰되는 활액막의 비후 및 다발성의 미립체의 소견등은 류마토이드 관절염 등과 같은 활액막 침범 질환과 유사한 소견을 보일 수 있으므로 이러한 질환들과 감별을 요한다.

다발성 미립체는 만성 류마토이드 관절염이나 만성 점액낭염의 합병증으로 드물게 발생하는 질환으로 어떤 기저 질환 없이도 발생할 수 있다. 활막 연골종증과 유사하기 때문에 수술 전 정확한 진단을 위해 단순 방사선과 자기 공명 영상 소견이 필요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 우 견관절의 통증과 운동 제한을 주소로 내원한 37세 남자에서 견봉하 점액낭에 점액낭염을 동반한 다량의 미립체를 발견하고 관절경적으로 치료 후 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disease that affects the synovial joint, tendon and bursa. PVNS can form a nodular structure in any joint, but it most commonly affects the knee joint and is rare in the foot and ankle joint. PVNS is divided into two types. Localized-type PVNS exhibits focal involvement with a nodular mass, while diffuse-type PVNS involves the entire synovium. Synovitis of the affected joint can also destroy cartilage and bone. Diffuse type accounts for 75% of PVNS and has a reported recurrence rate of 12.2% to 46%; aggressive synovectomy is recommended as the most effective treatment. In localized-type PVNS, only arthroscopic partial synovectomy is effective with a lower recurrence rate. We report a patient with severe ankle joint arthritis induced by diffusetype PVNS. The patient was treated by lateral malleolar ostectomy and ankle arthrodesis with a plate and screws via a lateral approach.

Background: The authors aimed to compare the effects of a one-time ultrasound (US)-guided subacromial corticosteroid injection and three-time ozone (O₂-O₃) injection in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to the corticosteroid group (n = 22) or ozone group (n = 22). Injections in both groups were administered into subacromial bursa with an US-guided in-plane posterolateral approach. Primary outcome measure was the change in the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) score between baseline and 12-weeks post-injection. Secondary outcome measures included visual analog scale and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index scores. Assessments were recorded at baseline, and 4-weeks and 12-weeks post-injection. Results: Forty participants completed this study. Based on repeated measurement analysis of variance, a significant effect of time was found for all outcome measures in both groups. Both the groups showed clinically significant improvements in shoulder pain, quality of life, and function. Baseline, 4-week post-injection, and 12-week post-injection WORC scores (mean ± standard deviation) were 57.91 ± 18.97, 39.10 ± 20.50 and 37.22 ± 27.31 in the corticosteroid group, respectively and 69.03 ± 15.89, 39.11 ± 24.36, and 32.26 ± 24.58 in the ozone group, respectively. However, no significant group × time interaction was identified regarding all outcome measures. Conclusions: Three-time ozone injection was not superior to a one-time corticosteroid injection in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy. It might be as effective as corticosteroid injection at 4-weeks and 12-weeks post-injection in terms of relieving pain and improving quality of life and function.
