Abstract
Introduction

In clinical practice, we see quite often painful sterno-clavicular prominence, deformity, which is the hallmark of two entities with a low incidence, although well defined hyperostosis cost sterno-clavicular (HECC) and ossification cost inter-sternoclavicular (OIECC). The differential diagnosis of these conditions, you must include sterno-clavicular arthritis, Paget's disease, condensing osteitis, osteomyelitis, pustulosis, Friederich's disease, Tietze's syndrome and osteoid osteoma. This is especially important in cases where the involvement is unilateral.

Material and methods

We present a series of nine patients complaining of a painful sterno- clavicular prominence, compatible with HECC or OIECC. The reason for consultation in most patients was rule out the presence of a tumor in that location.

Results

Image studies showed a variable increase both the density and bone mass as well as different intensities of joint involvement sterno-clavicular cost.

Conclusion

Ruled out a tumor and a specific diagnosis of these, you do not need aggressive treatment, is generally considered sufficient anti-inflammatory treatment in most patients. In clinical practice, it is irrelevant and OIECC HECC differentiation, since treatment and prognosis of both conditions are similar. The biopsy of the joint and aggressive diagnostic procedures may be unnecessary.

Resumen
Introducción

En la práctica clínica observamos con cierta frecuencia una prominencia esternoclavicular dolorosa, deformidad que constituye el principal signo de dos entidades con baja incidencia, aunque bien definidas: la hiperostosis esterno-costo-clavicular (HECC) y la osificación inter-esterno-costo-clavicular (OIECC). El diagnóstico diferencial de estas afecciones debe incluir la artrosis esterno-clavicular, la enfermedad de Paget, la osteitis condensante, la osteomielitis, la pustulosis, la enfermedad de Friederich, el síndrome de Tietze y el osteoma osteoide. Esto es especialmente importante en los casos en los que la afectación sea unilateral.

Material y método

Presentamos una serie de nueve pacientes cuyo motivo de consulta fue una prominencia esterno-costo-clavicular, compatible con HECC u OIECC. El motivo de consulta en la mayoría de los pacientes fue el descartar la presencia de un tumor en esa localización.

Resultados

Los estudios radiológicos mostraron un aumento variable tanto de la densidad como de la masa ósea, así como diferentes intensidades de afectación de la articulación esterno-costo-clavicular.

Discusión

Descartado un tumor y con un diagnóstico concreto de la causa de la prominencia, generalmente, se considera suficiente con el tratamiento antiinflamatorio en la mayoría de los pacientes. En la práctica clínica parece irrelevante la diferenciación entre HECC y OIECC, ya que el tratamiento y el pronóstico de ambas afecciones son superponibles. La biopsia de la articulación y los procedimientos diagnósticos invasivos pueden ser innecesarios.
