The infantile myofibromatosis is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy. One may find solitary lesions of dermal, visceral, musculoskeletal and subcutaneous tissues. Multiple lesions without visceral involvement generally take a benign course. Because the lesion is commonly known only to pathologists, infantile myofibromatosis is often misdiagnosed and underreported. Therefore we present a review of the pathology and symptoms of infantile myofibromatosis together with a case report of a solitary lesion of bone.

Elongated Styloid Process Syndrome requires its consideration in differential diagnosis of degenerative disease of the cervical spine. Radiating pain on certain movements of the cervical spine is a symptom of an elongated styloid process as well. First basic anatomy and pathology, symptoms and differential diagnosis of the elongated styloid syndrome are discussed. A case history is presented together with X-rays of the cervical spine and images of three dimensional CT-reconstruction to show the full length of an elongated styloid process.

The authors demonstrate a rare case of an adenocarcinoma of the uterus associated with a uterus septus. The concomitance of carcinoma and congenital uterine anomalies is coincidental and has no causal connection. Congenital anomalies of the uterus which remain undetected can be responsible for serious delay in diagnosis of carcinoma and may adversely interfere with treatment efforts.

X-rays of 102 sternoclavicular joints from post-mortem examination were interpreted systematically. In 89 cases we found an osteoarthrosis. We investigated the correlation between stage of osteoarthrosis and size and form of articular surface, age, sex and right or left preference. We also made a review about anatomy, embryology and pathology of the sternoclavicular joint. The differential diagnosis of sternoclavicular pain is discussed.

Typical for the case history of a patient with the very rare vaccination-induced osteomyelitis is a relatively long interval between the BCG-vaccination and the initial clinical symptoms. The course of the disease is undramatic. Pronounced changes are frequently visible in x-rays and, with proper surgical and tuberculostatic therapy, the prognosis is good as well. The morphological changes in cases of BCG-osteomyelitis cannot be distinguished from those caused by tuberculosis. The same causal factors as for other possible BCG-complications are considered pathogenically significant for its development, perhaps as a result of a local trauma, too. When a BCG-osteomyelitis is suspected clinically, a curettage of the affected bone tissue is indicated for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. A cause of BCG-osteomyelitis, diagnosed in a three-year-old girl, was described causally in detail.
