Suggest Treatment For Infective Lesion Of The Bone
Question: i am looking for a definition from my mri. a well circumscribed cylindrical lesion. 9mm diamitar and 18mm long. involving proximal humeral shaft. with disruption of the anteromedial cortex
Brief Answer:
It seems to be a benign/infective lesion!
Detailed Answer:
Hi! thanks for your health query!
According to my vast experience on bone/bone tumor biopsies, I could assure that as this lesion is well circumscribed, it is more likely a benign tumor or tumor-like lesion of the bone like simple bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst, hemangioma, hematoma or just collection of altered/degenerated body fluids/blood components (according to my recent experiences of two cases of young adults!).
However, considering your age and involvement of the cortex (outer hard layer of bone), I would also like to consider few rare possibilities like infection and medullary tumors which need a needle biopsy for confirmation.
Feedback most welcome; regards,
