We report a case of chondroblastoma involving the upper tibial epiphysis, which had an unusually aggressive course, with articular involvement at initial presentation. Intra-articular and soft tissue recurrence occurred after treatment consisting of curettage and bone grafting. Although the incidence of local intraosseous recurrence of chondroblastoma is relatively high, intra-articular and soft tissue implantation is rare and is usually due to intra-articular spillage during surgery. Spontaneous articular involvement is rarely seen.

This case of mesenchymatous hamartoma in a nine-year-old boy, was an incidental finding on a chest X ray. CT and MRI suggested the diagnosis showing a large (9 x 11 x 14 cm) mass developed in the right lower lung with sharp margins, without any sign of pulmonary or mediastinal compression. This lesion contained fatty areas on both CT and MRI. It showed no calcification. It enhanced slightly after IV contrast. On T2 WI, it appeared lobulated with low signal intensity septa. Presence of fatty tissues and lobulated margins were suggestive of the diagnosis of mesenchymatous hamartoma. A 1.2 kg mass was surgically removed. The tumor was attached to the right lower lobe by a small pedicle. Pathological examination disclosed fatty and connective tissues. This rare observation shows a good correlation between CT, MR, surgery and pathological examination.

A case of retroperitoneal pulmonary fistula caused by a neonatal adrenal abscess is reported. The adrenal abscess was diagnosed by means of needle aspiration which guided the choice of antibiotic therapy. The fistula was demonstrated by direct injection of contrast medium into the adrenal abscess. Treatment by needle aspiration of the adrenal abscess and intravenous antibiotics was successful.
