  • Title: Case report 623. Osteitis condensans of the left clavicle (OCC).
    Author: Abdelwahab IF, Hermann G, Ramos R, Klein MJ, Kenan S, Lewis MM.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1990; 19(5):387-9. PubMed ID: 2377910.
    Abstract:
    A case of OCC in a 35-year-old woman is presented. Proof was obtained by open biopsy. This rare entity is benign and its etiology is still obscure. No definite association with osteitis pubis or osteitis condensans ilii has been reported. The involvement of the clavicle is invariably unilateral. The clinical and radiographic characteristics of this benign condition have been discussed and the differential diagnosis has been considered. Consideration should be given to the concept that if the imaging features are characteristic, as in this case, biopsy may not be necessary.
