This case-based presentation will outline three cases all involving a red-hot joint. The cases will begin with discovery of the history and physical exam leading to a concise differential diagnosis. Lab findings, imaging, and specialty consultations will be used to guide the participant through medical conditions outlined by the differential diagnoses, leading to the final diagnosis. Key points regarding the patient presentation, diagnosis, and treatment will be summarized for each medical condition discussed.
