OBJECTIVE This article about our initial clinical experience describes the novel application of radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of two cases of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the bone. CONCLUSION Technical success was achieved in both cases with a prompt clinical response and no treatment-related complications. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the application of radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the bone.

OBJECTIVE The radiologist plays an important role in the workup and staging of bone tumors. The purpose of this article is to review that role and to discuss recent changes to the primary malignant bone tumor staging system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer. CONCLUSION Knowledge of staging parameters for the diagnosis and management of bone tumors will help the radiologist to generate meaningful reports for the referring physician.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare entity predominantly affecting children and young adults, characterized in 83–95% of cases by painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. We report the unusual case of a 41-year-old woman with Rosai-Dorfman disease that presented as a solitary lesion of the radius without other clinical manifestations.

BACKGROUND Our goal was to assess the effectiveness and safety of argon beam coagulation as an adjuvant treatment for primary aneurysmal bone cysts, to reevaluate the adjuvant effectiveness of the use of a high-speed burr alone, and, secondarily, to identify predictors of aneurysmal bone cyst recurrence. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of ninety-six patients with primary aneurysmal bone cysts who were managed at our institution from January 1, 1983, to December 31, 2008. Forty patients were managed with curettage, a high-speed burr, and argon beam coagulation; thirty-four were managed with curettage and a high-speed burr without argon beam coagulation; and the remaining twenty-two were managed with curettage with argon beam coagulation alone, curettage with no adjuvant treatment, or resection of the entire lesion. Demographic, clinical, and radiographic data were viewed comparatively for possible predictors of recurrence. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with a log-rank test was performed to measure association and effectiveness. RESULTS The median age at the time of diagnosis was fifteen years (range, one to sixty-two years). The median duration of follow-up was 29.5 months (range, zero to 300 months). The overall rate of recurrence of aneurysmal bone cyst after surgical treatment was 11.5%. The rate of recurrence was 20.6% after curettage and high-speed-burr treatment alone and 7.5% after curettage and high-speed-burr treatment plus argon beam coagulation. The five-year Kaplan-Meier survival estimate was 92% for patients managed with curettage and adjuvant treatment with a high-speed burr and argon beam coagulation, compared with 73% for patients managed with curettage and a high-speed burr only (p = 0.060). CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst with curettage and adjuvant argon beam coagulation is effective. Postoperative fracture appears to be a common complication of this treatment and needs to be studied further. Treatment with curettage and high-speed burr alone may not reduce recurrence.

With advances in imaging technology, there has been a significant increase in the number and range of interventional musculoskeletal image-guided procedures. One of the most commonly performed image-guided musculoskeletal interventions is the diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous aspiration and drainage of multiple types of intra-articular, juxta-articular, and intramuscular pathologic fluid collections. These procedures may be performed under fluoroscopic, ultrasound, computed tomography, or even magnetic resonance guidance depending on the location to be accessed, type of pathology, patient characteristics, and operator preference. Musculoskeletal image-guided aspiration and drainage procedures are minimally invasive and generally very safe while offering valuable diagnostic information as well as therapeutic benefit. This article focuses on the appropriate indications, contraindications, and general technique for accessing the major joints via imaging guidance. For each joint, we discuss pertinent anatomy, appropriate imaging modalities, and preferred approaches to gaining intra-articular access. Additionally, the article discusses some of the more frequently encountered juxta-articular and intramuscular fluid collections that can be accessed and aspirated via percutaneous intervention, with mention of the importance of recognizing extremity sarcomas that can mimic these benign collections.

OBJECTIVE We will describe and illustrate various musculoskeletal manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) encountered on imaging studies. CONCLUSION Because NF1 is one of the most common genetic disorders, radiologists should be familiar with its imaging manifestations.

Athletic injuries to the hand are common and encompass a diverse spectrum of injuries. These injuries can include fractures, soft tissue injuries, or both. Athletic injuries to the hand can be due to a variety of mechanisms and can be seen with a variety of sports. Prompt attention and accurate diagnosis should be provided to patients with athletic injuries to the hand to allow for appropriate treatment and to prevent serious complications that may preclude further athletic activity. This article discusses the radiographic evaluation of hand fractures seen in athletes and presents brief descriptions of the clinical management of these injuries.

We report a case of multifocal metachronous giant cell tumor (GCT) that involved the fibula, tibia, and sacrum of a 15-year-old boy. Multifocal GCT of bone presenting in children is an exceedingly rare phenomenon; however, there is evidence that multifocal GCT presents, on average, at a younger age than solitary GCT. Pediatric radiologists should be aware of this when encountering a single lesion with characteristic radiographic features of GCT and when encountering multiple lytic skeletal lesions.

OBJECTIVE This article reviews the neoplastic and nonneoplastic abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system that contain high signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI. The physical properties accounting for the increased signal intensity as well as the key clinical and imaging characteristics of each entity are discussed. CONCLUSION Recognition of high signal intensity within musculoskeletal lesions on T1-weighted MRI can limit the differential diagnosis and can also have important clinical implications.

AbstractBackground: To define the speed and accuracy of two different reconstructive techniques using computed tomography (CT) cystography for the detection and measurement of urinary bladder masses and determine the overall ease of use. Methods: Ten patients scheduled for cystoscopy for the evaluation of hematuria or bladder masses were studied by means of thin-section CT of the air-distended bladder. Two techniques were employed by two radiologists to blindly interpret the data: conventional two-dimensional data with interactive three-dimensional problem solving (2D3DPS) and surface-shaded display (SSD) three-dimensional images. The results were compared with the data from cystoscopy. Results: Twenty-two (100%) of 22 masses detected on cystoscopy were visualized using the reconstructive techniques. Both modalities were shown to have high accuracy, but only the 2D3DPS had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% for both observers at the patient-level diagnosis. The sensitivities for detecting individual masses for the two observers were 100% and 64% for 2D3DPS and 64% and 70% for SSD. Conclusion: Both methods used to display the CT data had a high sensitivity and specificity for masses, but only the 2D3DPS had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% at the patient-level diagnosis, thus making it a feasible imaging modality for cystography. It was also preferred overall for ease of use, high accuracy, and relative low cost.
