Lesiones óseas por tracción : a propósito de un caso
Injuries of the pelvic apophyses due to traction, such as apophysitis and avulsion fractures, are not common. They are especially seen in adolescents and young adults who take part in sport activities. We present the clinical case of an athletic adolescent with apophysitis of the anterior inferior iliac spine whose clinical presentation and complementary tests simulated a bone tumor. An appropriate knowledge of this entity will allow suspecting it, diagnosing it early and can avoid confusing it with potentially malignant bone lesions. The prognosis of these injuries with conservative treatment is favourable in most cases.
Osteocondroma solitario de la escápula: localización poco habitual para un tumor frecuente
Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor that usually affects children and young adults. It is typically located in the metaphysis of long bones around the knee, although it could also affect flat bones like scapula. We report the case of a 11-year-old child with one year of evolution painful tumor at the dorsal surface of the scapula. He was diagnosed with osteochondroma of the scapula, uncommon location for this tumor. Due to the persistence of the symptomatology surgical excision was performed.
