Abstract Accidental fish bone ingestion is a common complaint at emergency departments. The majority of cases have benign course. However, serious complications such as esophagus perforation, cervical vessel injury and abscess can occur in 7.4% cases. Mortality rates be high 50% when mediastinitis occurs. We report case an esophageal perforation caused by with lesion to the right carotid artery...

Benign bone tumors of the foot and ankle typically present both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to podiatric surgeons. These lesions have a relatively low incidence of occuffence in the foot and ankle when compared to other regions of the body, and the behavior of these lesions may mimic malignant tumors. Not only is it impofiant to recognize a specific lesion to insure proper treatment,...

The purpose of this study was to review the imaging and anatomopathologic findings and to discuss the main differential diagnosis of bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) or Nora's lesion, a rare benign surface lesion of the bone. Histologically confirmed plain radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MRI images of four patients with BPOP were obtained and retrospectively reviewed. T...

Growth of benign tumours and tumour-like lesions of bone results in osteolysis which may cause pathological fracture. Bisphosphonates are anti-osteolytic agents which have proved effective in the treatment of number of osteolytic conditions. In this study we report the results of treatment with the aminobisphosphonate, pamidronate, of three benign osteolytic tumours of bone, two cases of fibrou...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign tumor of bone, uncommonly affecting the maxilla, congenital, recurrent character and etiology unknown, caused by bone modeling disorder in which normal replaced immature fibrous tissue. The lesion may involve one or more bones being maxilla facial affected. We report case monostotic variety male patient complaining progressive swelling rt that compress inferior orb...

Schwannoma is a benign tumor derived from Schwann cells that cover myelinated nerve fibers (1). Among primary bone tumors, intraosseous schwannoma accounts for less than 0.2% (2). We are reporting a rare case of an 18-year-old female presented with swelling in the posterior right thigh. The patient was asymptomatic and this was incidentally discovered by her massage therapist. However, the swel...

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, tumor-like, highly vascular, locally aggressive, and relatively rare osteolytic lesion of unknown etiology [1]. Treatment options for aneurysmal bone cysts are simple curettage with or without bone grafting, complete excision, embolization, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities [2,3]. Radical surgical excision should be the goal of surge...

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a benign condition of the jaws in which the normal architecture of bone is replaced by a fibrous tissue containing a variable amount of bone and cementum-like tissue. This lesion is most commonly seen in middle aged black women. FOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in the mandible, rarely in the maxilla. The lesion is usually asym...
