Lytic rib lesion in a 1-year-old child: group A beta streptococcal osteomyelitis mimicking tumor.

Pediatric osteomyelitis commonly occurs in the long bones and has rarely been reported in small bones such as the vertebrae and ribs. Rib osteomyelitis occurs in approximately 1% or less of all cases of hematogenous osteomyelitis, and is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. We present a case of acute osteomyelitis in the rib of an otherwise healthy and afebrile 1-year-old infant that appeared as a lytic bone lesion on imaging studies and was mistaken for a tumor. Biopsy was needed to rule out malignancy and establish the diagnosis of osteomyelitis caused by group A Streptococcus. This is one of the few reported cases of pediatric rib osteomyelitis caused by this organism.

Subclavian venipuncture following ipsilateral extrapleural dissection is hazardous.

Subclavian artery puncture is an infrequent complication of subclavian vein cannulation. In spite of the limited ability to apply direct pressure to the bleeding vessel, significant hematoma or exsanguinating bleeding rarely occurs. This study was a retrospective chart review of a neonate who underwent extrapleural repair of a tracheo-esophageal fistula and sustained significant blood loss following an accidental ipsilateral subclavian artery puncture. This case highlights the importance of an intact apical pleura in controlling bleeding from the subclavian vessels. Thus, ipsilateral percutaneous subclavian venipuncture should be avoided in patients in whom the apical pleura is not intact.
