Actinomycosis is a rare infection, frequently misdiagnosed as a neoplasia. This chronic and granulomatous disease is caused by species. Cervicofacial actinomycosis occurs in 60% of cases and the diagnosis is commonly made by histopathology study.
We report a case of fronto-orbital osteomyelitis initially misdiagnosed as a cranial bone meningioma, but later proved to be a case of actinomycosis. Technetium (Tc) three-phase bone single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and Tc-ubiquicidin (UBI) 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scans were performed to corroborate the control of the infection.
Craniofacial actinomycosis is the most common presentation of actinomycosis. However, it continues to be a rare and difficult disease to diagnose and is often confused with a neoplastic process. The Tc-UBI 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scan could be an auxiliary noninvasive diagnostic alternative and a follow-up method for these patients.
放线菌病是一种罕见的感染性疾病,常被误诊为肿瘤。这种慢性肉芽肿性疾病由多种放线菌引起。60%的病例发生在面颈部,通常通过组织病理学研究进行诊断。
我们报告一例额眶骨髓炎,最初被误诊为颅骨脑膜瘤,但后来证实为放线菌病。进行了锝(Tc)三相骨单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(SPECT/CT)和Tc-泛癸利定(UBI)29-41骨SPECT/CT扫描,以证实感染得到控制。
颅面部放线菌病是放线菌病最常见的表现形式。然而,它仍然是一种罕见且难以诊断的疾病,常与肿瘤性病变相混淆。Tc-UBI 29-41骨SPECT/CT扫描可为这些患者提供一种辅助性非侵入性诊断方法及随访手段。
