Brodie’s abscess associated with soft tissue swelling in an athlete in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) Kone Seydou Gnombena N’golo Kone Samba Dogba Eric Ouihahi Djekoury Yves Christian Bana AbdoulayeAgoh Serge<p>Introduction: As very few African publications are found in the literature concerning Brodie’s abscesses, we report a rare case of the association of a Brodie’s abscess with soft tissue swelling in a sportsman in Abidjan (Ivory Coast).</p><p>Report case: A 30-year-old patient presented knee pain associated with swelling of the distal third of the thigh as a result of a sports trauma. The diagnosis of a Brodie’s abscess was made. Surgical treatment combined with antibiotic therapy was performed. The evolution was favourable.</p><p>Conclusion: Brodie’s abscess is a subacute osteomyelitis that can pose a diagnostic problem with bone tumors. Magnetic Resonance Imaging has a place in the diagnosis. Patient management must be multidisciplinary.</p> Open Journal of Trauma - Peertechz Publications 2020-02-20 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/ojt.000023 en Copyright © Kone Seydou Gnombena N’golo et al.
