Overview

A Brodie abscess is a well defined rim of sclerotic bone surrounding a residual abscess; viable organisms may persist in a Brodie abscess.[1]

Diagnosis

The imaging findings are

  • Central area of radiolucency with a surrounding thick rim of reactive bone sclerosis
  • Pathognomonic tortuous parallel lucent channels extending toward the growth plate
  • Variable degree of periosteal new-bone formation
  • Variable associated soft-tissue swelling.
