A doctor’s Twitter request for unusual diagnoses unearths a unique report from more than a quarter of a century ago

Published in 1988, the case report is enjoying renewed interest after Dr Roshana Mehdian-Staffell, a UK-based orthopaedic surgeon, asked doctors on Twitter to share their most fascinating diagnosis.
