6 lesions
Lesion 1
- Bones
- Clavicle, Scapula
- Side
- Both
- Mycosis
Infectious
Infectious disease, possibly mycosis. The lesions are multifocal and mostly lytic although some consist of newly formed, porous, periosteal, reactive bone. The lesions are most common in the axial skeleton. The skull was not affected. The distribution of the lesions is bilateral in some, but not all, cases. The lesions predilect the prominences of bones, such as the scapular spines and greater trochanters of the femora. Neither the type nor the pattern of bone lesions seen in this case fits well with a diagnosis other than mycosis but the rarity of this disease in historic Inuit groups remains a troublesome factor.
