Ameloblastoma is a rare, odontogenic neoplasm with benign histopathology, but extensive, local infiltrative capacity through the bone tissue it originates in. While the mechanisms of ameloblastoma invasion through the bone and bone absorption are largely unknown, recent investigations have indicated a role of the osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand regulatory mec...

We report the case of a young adult who presented with a painful foot due to chondroblastoma associated with an aneurismal bone cyst.Chondroblastoma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% of all bone tumors and characteristically arises in the epiphysis of a long bone, particularly the humerus, tibia, and femur. Chondroblastoma can affect people of all ages. ...

An 87 year-old white female presented with a two-year history of intermittent discomfort in her left foot. PET-CT identified intense18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake corresponding to the lesion. Histology of a fine needle aspiration and open biopsy were consistent with a benign giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone. GCT of bone is an uncommon primary tumor typically presenting as a benign solita...

Bone metastasis of gastric cancer is relatively uncommon in clinical practice. Moreover, it is all the more unusual for the primary presentation of gastric malignancy to be bone metastasis. Here, we describe a male patient who complained of pain and edema in his right lower extremity. Further assessment by computed tomography and positron emission tomography revealed an abnormally thickened gas...
