Multiple jaw cysts and ectopic calcification

Follicular jaw cysts.

The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence, localization, size, ways of diagnosing and treatment of a foIlicular jaw cyst. Assessment of the patients' motives and their earlier health status was recorded, as well as their postoperative clinical course.

Multiple Follicular Cysts of the Jaw: 5th Phacomatosis.

Primary diffuse alveolar septal amyloidosis with multiple cysts and calcification.

We report an extremely rare case of primary diffuse alveolar septal amyloidosis associated with multiple cysts and calcification. Development of multiple cysts may have resulted from fragile alveolar walls, as a consequence of amyloid deposition both on alveolar walls and around capillaries.

Extraskeletal (Ectopic) Calcification and Ossification

A significant number and variety of disorders cause extraskeletal deposition of calcium and phosphate (Table 1). In some, mineral is precipitated as amorphous calcium phosphate or as crystals of hydroxyapatite; in others, osseous tissue is formed. The pathogenesis of ectopic mineralization is generally attributed to one of three mechanisms (Table 1). First, a supranormal “calcium-phosphate solu...
