DIAGNOSISCUTANEOUS manifestations of general diseasesSYNDROMESJOINT painConsidered rare, the synovitis–acne–pustulosis–hyperostosis–osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a distinct clinical entity, associating skin manifestations and osteoarticular symptoms. Anterior chest wall pain centered at sterno...
Synovitis is clinically defined by the presence of swelling or effusion with increased temperature, limitation of motion and/or pain in one or more joints. However, there are several non-rheumatic conditions potentially presenting with the same symptoms, for example soft tissue infections, bone inflam...
Conclusions: Although there was high specificity for the clinical diagnosis of OA, the sensitivity was very low. Comparison of clinical and arthroscopic diagnoses showed that osteoarthritis frequently escapes clinical detection. The clinical diagnosis of synovitis showed that low specificity and symptoms may...
The concern is with the differential diagnosis because the symptoms of benign disorders of the hip may mimic serious disease and distinguishing between them can be quite difficult and often time dependent. Toxic synovitis (TS), also known as acute transient synovitis of the hip, is a condition ...
Introduction: The remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome primarily occurs in elderly individuals to represent symptoms of edema, pain, and joint swelling. It could be misdiagnosed in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients, as hemodialysis patients often present with pain...
symptoms in nearly any joint, but it is most strongly associated with work disability and has the greatest socioeconomic impact when it affects the hip or knee. Its prevalence increases steadily with age, and by 65 years of age, radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis is present in about 70% ...
It is a rare condition, especially in the localized form, and is still cause for discussion regarding to its pathogenesis and treatment. We report four cases of localized PVNS each one presenting with different clinical signs and symptoms. In one of our cases, a pedunculated mass and villous-...
Arthrotomy and biopsy revealed localized nodular synovitis. Since surgical excision of the mass the patient has been asymptomatic. While localized nodular synovitis generally appears as an internal derangement of the joint, this patient had signs and symptoms of chronic monoarthritis....
Our patient had acute onset of bilateral shoulder pain and edema on the dorsum of both feet at the age of 74. These symptoms were resolved by treatment with steroids, indicating the diagnosis of RS3PE syndrome. Because her enhanced CT and la- boratory data showed no disease that may have...
Though PVNS is mostly occurs in middle-aged patients [7], a retrospective multicenter study [8] reported that the youngest case was of a two-year-old, and the oldest, 83 years. PVNS has no specific symptoms, usually manifesting hemorrhagic effusion, swelling, pain, and consequent movement ...
