Zusammenfassung
Zwei Patienten mit typischer Schmerzsymptomatik wurden unter der Diagnose eines M. Osgood-Schlatter konservativ behandelt. Bei persistierenden Beschwerden ergab die spätere Röntgendiagnostik Hinweise auf einen benignen Tumor im Bereich der Tuberositas, die Exzisionsbiopsie führte zur Diagnose eines Chondromyxoidfibroms bzw. eines Chondroblastoms. Fazit: Auch bei typischer Symptomatik eines M. Osgood-Schlatter sollte an die seltene Möglichkeit lokaler Tumoren gedacht werden.
Abstract
Two patients with presenting symptoms of anterior knee pain were diagnosed and treated for Osgood-Schlatter disease. Eventually benign tumours of the tibial tuberosity were found. Following excisional biopsy these two patients recovered with no residual sequel. One should be alert to the possibility of local tumours in cases of anterior knee pain in children.
