“…Varma et al reported the CT appearance of a distended trochanteric bursa in an asymptomatic cancer patient with fluid attenuation where the wall of the bursa appeared to be thin [8]. They concluded that a distended bursa must be recognized on imaging studies to avoid confusion with other lesions, especially in cancer patients.…”

Ischiogluteal bursitis mimicking soft-tissue metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma

We report a case of ischiogluteal bursitis mimicking a soft-tissue metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma. A 66-year-old woman suffered from pain over the left buttock 6 months after she was operated on for renal cell carcinoma of the left kidney. CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a tumor-like lesion adjacent to the left os ischii, which was suspected to be a soft-tissue metastasis. Percutaneous biopsy revealed no evidence of malignancy, but the histopathological diagnosis of chronic bursitis.

“…The most successful treatment of sterile bursitis is aspiration and filling of the bursal sac with a mixture of depot steroids and local analgesics [2,5,8]. In the reported patient, we aspirated the bursal sac and injected lidocaine.…”

“…Irregularities can also be seen on the surface of the greater trochanter . Often on CT the distended bursa is noted as a septated low attenuation lesion at the site of insertion of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles on the greater trochanter ( Figure 3) [32]. Bone scans may show increased uptake in the area of the greater trochanter, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans or sonography may show a high-intensity signal in the greater trochanter area, but all of these findings may not always have actual clinical significance and vice versa.…”

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lower extremity pain. This is frequently attributed to trochanteric bursitis and distension of the subgluteal bursae. Patients are suffering from pain radiating to the posterolateral aspect of the thigh, paraesthesiae in the legs, and tenderness over the iliotibial tract. Often the symptoms are mild, with the patient treating himself successfully through activity modification and other conservative measures. including relative rest, ice, compression, elevation, anti-inflammatory medication and treatment modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation, combined with a structured rehabilitation program. Patients whose symptoms persist despite conservative therapy are likely to benefit from an injection of corticosteroid and anaesthetic into the inflamed bursa. More invasive surgical interventions have anecdotally been reported to provide pain relief when previous treatment modalities fail.In this article, we review the pathogenesis, common initial symptoms, diagnostic approach, and treatment options for trochanteric bursitis.

“…Tubercle bacilli, released from early tuberculous lesions of the lungs, can induce new lesions in bones, joints, synovial bursae, and other sites, leading to the onset of systemic disease. Tuberculous bursitis is a rare condition and accounts for only about 1% of all cases of tuberculosis affecting bones and joints [1,2]. Tuberculous bursitis causes variable nonspecifi c symptoms and weak serological signs of infl ammation, often making its diagnosis diffi cult [3].…”

Gallium scintigraphy in a case of tuberculous trochanteric bursitis

et al. 2007

We report a 67-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic disseminated tuberculosis affecting the femoral trochanteric bursae, a site rarely affected by tuberculosis. For quantification of the inflammation with gallium-67 scintigraphy, we calculated the radioisotope count ratio in the most inflamed areas, the right lateral thorax and bursa of the right greater trochanter. Systemic scanning with this modality allowed evaluation of the extent of lesions and simple quantitative determination of the severity of inflammation, yielding information useful for the follow-up of the patient during the course of tuberculosis treatment.
