Objective and Case Report: In this report a female patient with the lesion diagnosed as focal semento-osseous dysplasia by histological and radiological examination on the left mandibular molar region is presented and these focal semento-osseous dysplasia lesions are reviewed according to the literature. Conclusion: Histological and radiographic examination is significant for the differential d...

Improving survival rates following pediatric bone marrow transplantation (BMT) will likely result in greater numbers of children progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) because of prior chemotherapy, irradiation, sepsis, and exposure to nephrotoxic agents. Renal transplantation remains the treatment of choice for ESRD; however, the safety of renal transplantation in this unique population...

BACKGROUND Osseous dysplasia (OD) is the most common fibro-osseous lesion of the jaw affecting the periapical region. Early stages of OD can resemble periapical radiolucencies, thus mimicking the radiological aspects of an endodontic pathology. Such radiolucent lesions affecting previously decayed or treated teeth are even more complex to interpret. CASE PRESENTATION The aim of this paper is ...

We retrospectively analysed the MR scans of 25 patients with patellofemoral dysplasia and ten control subjects, to assess whether there was any change in the morphology of the patella along its vertical length. Ratios were calculated comparing the size of the cartilaginous and subchondral osseous surfaces of the lateral and medial facets. We also classified the morphology using the scoring syst...

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex are represented by a variety of disease processes that are characterized by pathologic ossifications and calcifications in association with a hypercellular fibroblastic marrow element. The current classification includes neoplasms, developmental dysplastic lesions and inflammatory/reactive processes. The definitive diagnosis can rarely be...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disease of bone of unknown etiology. Its occurrence in the maxillo-facial region is frequent. Because of the benign nature of the condition, the surgery itself should be relatively conservative. Recently, bisphosphonates have shown progress in the treatment of patients with fibrous dysplasia. In the current case report, combination of enucleation and ...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a slowly progressive, benign, chronic fibro-osseous tissue disease, which is characterized by abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue interspersed with normal or immature bone. In this report we describe a patient with monostotic fibrous dysplasia that involved temporal bone presenting with vertigo, and discuss diagnostic work-up, histopathology, and treatment options...

The fibro-osseous lesions represent a large group of disorders that have many common characteristics including clinical, radiographic and microscopic features. Although most are of unknown aetiology, some are believed to be neoplastic and others are related to metabolic imbalances. It is not unusual to see these lesions presenting with a range of radiographic appearances, causing considerable d...
