Osteomyelitis of the wrist in a patient with Hodgkin's disease.
Osteomyelitis of the carpal bones is extremely uncommon. We here report a case of Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis involving the wrist in a patient with Hodgkin's disease, and review the existing literature on this subject. The case illustrates the importance of considering pertinent clinical evidence in a patient with disseminated malignancy.
