Zusammenfassung
Das Krankheitsbild der Reiskornsynovitis findet sich bei einigen wenigen systemischen Erkrankungen als Begleitmanifestation innerhalb von Gelenken oder in gelenkassoziierten Bursen. Ein 79-jähriger Patient stellte sich vor, der seit längerer Zeit über Schmerzen und Schwellung in der linken Schulter klagte. In der Sonographie konnten innerhalb des Gelenkergusses multiple spindelförmige Gelenkkörper festgestellt werden. Die Magnetresonanztomographie zeigte einen ausgedehnten Befund von reiskorngroßen Präzipitaten mit Gelenkerguss und Massenruptur der Rotatorenmanschette an der linken Schulter. In der histologischen Untersuchung zeigte sich eine für die Tuberkulose spezifische Entzündungsreaktion mit Riesenzellen und epitheloidzelligen Granulomen und molekularbiologischem Nachweis von Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Nach chirurgischer Entfernung der „Reiskörper“ aus dem Gelenkraum und den Bursen an der Schulter kam es innerhalb weniger Monate zu einem Rezidiv mit abermaliger Ergussbildung und Notwendigkeit einer erneuten chirurgischen Entfernung der intraartikulären Gelenkkörpermasse. Wir beschreiben den seltenen Fall eines Patienten mit einseitiger muskuloskelettaler Manifestation der Tuberkulose in Form einer Reiskornsynovitis des linken Schultergelenks und der angrenzenden Bursen mit beschleunigter Wachstumstendenz ohne bekannte Tuberkuloseerkrankung in der Anamnese oder Nachweis anderer Tuberkuloseherde. Zusätzlich erfolgt eine kurze Literaturzusammenfassung.
Abstract
The clinical presentation of synovitis with rice bodies is found in a few systemic diseases as accompanying manifestations within joints or joint-associated bursa. A 79-year old patient was examined, who had complained of pain and swelling in the left shoulder for a long time. Sonography identified multiple spindle-shaped joint bodies within the joint effusion. MRI showed a large amount of so-called rice bodies with joint effusion in the shoulder and a massive destruction of the rotator cuff of the left shoulder. The histological examination showed a tuberculosis-specific inflammatory response with giant cells and epithelioid granulomas and molecular biological detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Within a few months after surgical removal of the rice bodies from the joint space and the bursa a relapse occurred with repeated synovial effusion followed by a renewed surgical removal of the joint bodies. We describe the rare case of a patient with unilateral musculoskeletal manifestation of tuberculosis presented as synovitis of the left shoulder and the adjacent bursa with rice bodies and accelerated growth trend without coexisting active tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the previous history. Furthermore, a brief summary of the literature is given.
