DISSEMINATED COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS WITH RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING OF THE INVOLVED BONES
Abstract
Bony lesions of a case of disseminated Coccidioidomycosis was presented. The lesions were observed to be small, ill defined border, and osteolytic. There was no periosteal reaction. The lesions usually located at either end or at the lateral or medial margin of the involved long-tubular bones. Roentgenographic arthritis or bursitis was evident at both ankle joints.
