1986-1987 • Mini Pathria • Michael Zlatkin • Richard (Rick) G Stiles
Mini Pathria • Middle-aged male • Hx of recent knee trauma
Case 1 • Middle-aged male • Hx of recent knee trauma
Differential diagnosis • Neurofibromatosis • Melorheostosis with soft tissue component
Neurofibromatosis • Further history obtained • Skin nodules • Neurofibromas on cranial CT 7 years previously (not acoustic neuroma)
Case 2 • Middle-aged female with thigh mass
Follow-up • Mass biopsied, benign plexiform neurofibroma • Patient developed hip pain
Neurofibromatosis • Plexiform neurofibroma at biopsy • No evidence of malignancy
Case 3 • 40 year old male with slowly growing painless mass
Plexiform neurofibroma • Specific finding for NF1 (peripheral form) • 5% of patients with NF1 • Approximately 5-10% degenerate to neurosarcoma courtesy of Mark Murphey, AFIP
Neurofibroma • Localized • Diffuse • Plexiform • Well-defined • Bag of worms • Infiltrating
Elephantiasis neurofibromatosa • Diffuse form of plexiform neurofibroma • Overgrowth of epidermal and subcutaneous tissue • Wrinkled and pendulous appearance
Michael B. Zlatkin and Alfredo Arraut NMSI • 27 year old male involved in a motor vehicle accident
Findings • Subscapularis tendon is avulsed with bone from the lesser tuberosity • Humeral avulsion of the anterior band of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) • Middle glenohumeral ligament and possibly the superior glenohumral ligament may be avulsed as well • Possible reverse Hill-Sachs lesion
Subscap Rupture and HAGL (BHAGL) • Rupture of the subscapularis tendon uncommon but can be seen in younger patients injured by forced external rotation or extension of a partially abducted arm • Tears occur near insertion on the lesser tub. May occur at sup margin, where tendon may be weakened by degeneration • Avulsion fracture of the lesser tuberosity may occur, and is displaced medially and inferiorly • Subscapularis avulsions are also associated with injury to the anterior capsule and glenohumeral ligaments (HAGL) • When the AIGHL avulses a fragment of bone from the humerus, the lesion is known as a bony HAGL, or BHAGL • ? With MGHL and SGHL torn = Super BHAGL
Michael B. Zlatkin and Alfredo Arraut NMSI • 17 year old male with bony growth on the dorsum of hand
Findings • Bone prominence on the dorsum of the hand between the trapezoid, capitate, and bases of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals • Associated with base of 3rd metacarpal, but no marrow continuity with it • Sclerosis and cystic change at junction with 3rd metacarpal base
Carpal Boss • Bone protuberance on dorsum of the hand • Degenerative osteophyte or os styloideum • Located between trapezoid, capitate, and base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpals • Most often fused to a metacarpal base, but rarely (2%) can be completely isolated • Symptoms caused by degeneration, formation of ganglion or bursa, or snapping of an extensor tendon moving over it
Carpal Boss • Can be demonstrated on lateral radiograph with hand flexed and supinated 30-40 degrees; best seen with mild ulnar deviation • Alternatively can image with CT or MR • MR can demonstrate marrow edema in the carpal boss and surrounding soft tissue changes
Carpal Boss – Companion Case Carpal boss fused to base of third metacarpal with edema in overlying soft tissues
Carpal Boss - Companion Case Carpal boss fused to third metacarpal with fracture at its base
Carpal Boss – Companion Case Surface rendering of carpal boss with fracture at its base
Michael B. Zlatkin and Alfredo Arraut NMSI • 33 year old professional hockey player with pain in the flank after practice

33 year old professional hockey player with pain in the flank after practice
Findings • Partial thickness tear of the internal oblique muscle belly proximally, with surrounding edema and hematoma • Fluid tracking between internal and external obliques • Feathery pattern of edema at the more distal aspect of the internal oblique
Side Strain • Uncommon sporting injury presenting with pain and tenderness over anterolateral and posterolateral lower ribcage • Associated with cricket, golf, and ice hockey – eccentric contraction of trunk muscles • Partial or complete tear of lateral abdominal wall musculature (internal oblique > external oblique > transversus abdominis) • May also see avulsion at the muscular origins from the lower ribs • Recovery takes 6-10 weeks. Full recovery is the norm
