Cat-scratch disease, though common in pediatrics, is rarely diagnosed by orthopaedists. This review highlights two cases where orthopaedic symptoms mimicked serious conditions, emphasizing the need for broader awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is typically managed by pediatricians.
  • Orthopaedic manifestations of CSD are infrequently encountered.
  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases with atypical CSD presentations are reviewed.
  • Case 1: Distal humerus bone scan mimicking osteomyelitis.
  • Case 2: Rapidly enlarging soft-tissue arm mass resembling sarcoma.

Findings:

  • CSD diagnosis was delayed in both cases due to unusual orthopaedic symptoms.
  • Both patients presented with significant, but ultimately benign, orthopaedic findings.
  • Surgical drainage and lymph node evacuation led to complete recovery.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering CSD in pediatric orthopaedic cases with unusual presentations.
  • Suggests increased awareness among orthopaedists regarding CSD's diverse clinical spectrum.
  • Underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing rare conditions.
