LABRADO BEREA, Galia de la Caridad et al. Atypical radiographic finding in a patient affected of coxalgia. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2011, vol.25, n.2, pp. 174-178. ISSN 0864-215X.

The objective of present study was to make known the existence of a radiographic image that not match with any osteomyoarticular pathologic entity and that therefore not requires a specific treatment thus avoiding the possibility of diagnostic and therapeutic errors to patients suffering coxalgia. This is the case of a patient came to consultation due to coxalgia and that after physical examination a simple radiographic study was prescribed in anteroposterior view of bone pelvis, observing a rounded image in right femoral neck of type osteolytic. This situation leads to a diagnostic need to rule out the presence of a tumoral lesion to establishing the conservative treatment obtaining an appropriate therapeutic response and the total cure at 4 weeks of its diagnosis.
