Florid reactive periostitis in a child, a rare bone condition, can mimic tumors after injury. Despite initial antibiotic treatment, recurrence necessitated surgical amputation for pain relief and hand function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Florid reactive periostitis is a rare bone lesion often associated with trauma.
  • Distinguishing reactive periostitis from benign or malignant bone neoplasms is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with florid reactive periostitis affecting adjacent phalanges after minor trauma.
  • Symptoms initially improved with antibiotics but rapidly recurred upon cessation.

Findings:

  • The condition affected the volar aspect of two phalanges, sparing the intervening joint.
  • The clinical presentation and radiographic findings confirmed a reactive process, not a neoplasm.

Implications:

  • Recalcitrant reactive periostitis may require aggressive surgical intervention, such as ray amputation.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential to guide treatment and prevent unnecessary oncological interventions.
