An Unusual Differential Diagnosis of Sarcoma

Le résumé fourni par la source

Osteomyelitis is an uncommon cause of a soft tissue mass and is diagnosed clinically by a blend of radiology, histology, and microbiology. This case report outlines a case of melioidotic osteomyelitis presenting as a suspected sarcoma. The diagnosis of melioidotic osteomyelitis was done against the diagnosis of sarcoma only after radiological evaluation, microbiological evidence of Burkholeria pseudomallei and osteomyelitis confirmed on histology. It is an extremely rare mimic of primary sarcoma of bone and the presentation described in the present case report appears to be unique. Keywords: Osteomyelitis; Sarcoma; Burkholeria pseudomallei
