Abstract:
The authors experienced six patients who were admitted in Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Seoul National University Hospital during the period of March 1966 to February 1976 with cystic lesions in calcaneus by radiographic findings. The following results were obtained. Among the six patients, four were osteomyelitis, one was eosinophilic granuloma and the other was fibromyxoid sarcoma. They were all similar in radiographic findings, but were different each other in pathologic findings. 2. Diagnosis is very difficult only with the patients history, hematologic and radiographic findings and the pathologic findings is the most important in the final confirmative diagnosis from benign cystic lesions to malignant one. 3. We describe about the kinds and points of the differential diagnosis. of the other discases from the reported six cases.
