    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Plasma-cell osteomyelitis is not a distinct entity but part of a spectrum of primary chronic osteomyelitis. This finding suggests using the term "primary chronic osteomyelitis" for better classification and treatment of bone infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Plasma-cell osteomyelitis is considered a distinct histological diagnosis by some authors.
    • It is often differentiated from sclerosing osteomyelitis of Garré and Brodie's abscess.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the distinctiveness of plasma-cell osteomyelitis.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic specificity of radiological appearances in osteomyelitis.
    • To propose a unified terminology for primary chronic osteomyelitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12 patients diagnosed with plasma-cell osteomyelitis.
    • Review of radiological findings.
    • Histopathological examination of bone specimens.

    Main Results:

    • Radiological appearances were non-specific, failing to definitively diagnose osteomyelitis types or exclude other bone disorders.
    • Histopathology consistently showed increased plasma cells but revealed transitional features between sclerosing osteomyelitis and Brodie's abscess.
    • All patients achieved uneventful recovery after local resection of the osteomyelitis lesion with no recurrences.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasma-cell osteomyelitis, Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis, and Brodie's abscess represent a spectrum of primary chronic osteomyelitis.
    • The term "primary chronic osteomyelitis" is recommended for better differentiation from acute/secondary osteomyelitis and other bone diseases like tumors.
    • Local resection is an effective treatment for primary chronic osteomyelitis, leading to complete recovery.
