(COAD) intraarticular osteochondroma at SIJ ? (CT)

Hi there,

incidental finding at abdominal CT.

Is the intraaarticular “exostosis” at the right SIJ an osteochondroma?

Thanks 🙂

  1. OCAD
    Nice example.

    It is definitely not an osteochondroma.

    Posterior pseudarthroses are common in the SIJ. They may be either
    developmental or acquired. They occur more commonly in females and with
    increasing frequency with age. They have a variety of shapes and occur
    anywhere in the ligament compartment.

    Then it is a matter of what word you choose to describe the bony prominence
    that develops within the ligamentous part of the SI joint and how you
    define ‘exostosis’ versus ‘osteophyte’ versus ‘bone spur’. I don’t like
    ‘exostosis’ here because my understanding is that the bone formation is
    primarily within a previously existing ligamentous structure – and when
    ligaments ossify, I don’t call them exostoses e.g. degenerative
    ossification in DISH or post-traumatic ossification such as an ossified MCL.

    So, I call it bone spurring with pseudarthrosis.

    Hi Andrei and everyone,
    found this recently in ultrasound. 44yo referring pain in this site. also
    found quite unusual “exostosis”.
    best regards

  3. Hi everybodyTo me, it looks like sacroiliac degeneration on an iliosacral complex. The images below are from a recent and interesting open-access article (http://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-85303-5) published by Ziegeler et al.Em 1 de abr de 2022, às 8:40, Andrei Dumitrescu <xisquare@gmail.com> escreveu:Hi there,incidental finding at abdominal CT.Is the intraaarticular “exostosis” at the right SIJ an osteochondroma? Thanks :)Andrei– You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “OCAD MSK” group.
