Abstract | Background: Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been associated with adverse reactions to metal debris, presenting clinically as pseudotumors. Case summary: This case report presents a female aged 73 year-old with MoM THA-related pseudotumor. After arthrotomy and bursectomy surgeries, histologic examinations of surgical specimens revealed a specific lymphocyte-dominant immunologic response, now known as aseptic lymphocyte-dominant vasculitis-associated lesion (ALVAL). Due to soft tissue persisting effusion after arthrotomy and bursectomy, revision surgery was then performed with ceramic-on-polyethylene THA. However, revision did not resolve the patient's symptoms. Here we describe our application of tigecycline sclerotherapy to treat recurrent pseudotumor after revision THA and no recurrence after 24-mo follow-up. Conclusion: Tigecycline sclerotherapy is safe and effective in the management of recurrent pseudotumor after revision non-MoM THA in ALVAL cases. |
