Study Notes
Differential Diagnosis of Osteomyelitis
- Osteomyelitis must be differentiated from malignancy, Paget disease, and eosinophilic granuloma
- Malignancy lacks sequestration, a typical feature of osteomyelitis
- Patients with osteomyelitis are typically under 40 years old, while those with malignancy are usually over 40
Comparison with Paget Disease
- Paget disease involves multiple bones, whereas osteomyelitis typically affects a single bone
Comparison with Eosinophilic Granuloma
- Eosinophilic granuloma has better-defined margins compared to osteomyelitis
