Osseous choristoma is a rare, benign lesion of the oral cavity. This report presents a case of osseous choristoma in the submental region of a 30-year-old female subject. Her chief complaint was a painless swelling in the submental region. Panoramic radiography showed a well-defined, round, radiopaque lesion near the inferior border of the left mental region. The lesion was diagnosed as an osse...

A clinical evaluation was undertaken to compare regeneration of osseous defects following implantation of either osseous coagulum-bone blend from intraoral sources or autogenous iliac marrow-cancellous bone. Thirty-two transplants were performed in 15 male patients. The intraosseous defects in which marrow was placed (initial average depth = 7.18 mm) filled 60.7% (average fill = 4.36 mm). Defec...

Multiple drilling is reported to be an effective treatment for osteonecrosis of the head of femur, but its effect on intra-osseous pressure has not been described. We undertook multiple drilling and recorded the intra-osseous pressure in 75 osteonecrotic hips in 60 patients with a mean age of 42 years (19 to 67). At a mean follow-up of 37.1 months (24 to 60), 42 hips (56%) had a clinically succ...

A benign bone neoplasm known as an osseous fibroma is frequently referred fibro-osseous lesion. It has a stronger preference for females and thought to have originated from periodontal membrane. Maxilla less often afflicted than the mandible. This made up of highly cellular, fibrous tissue with varied levels calcified tissue, which may resemble cementum, bone, or both. Depending on degree calci...

BACKGROUND The medial ulnar collateral ligament is the major soft tissue restraint to valgus displacement of the elbow. Currently, little has been published regarding the medial ulnar collateral ligament's ulnar footprint. HYPOTHESIS The medial ulnar collateral ligament has a long attachment onto the ulna and the anatomy of the footprint is consistent. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory st...

Osseous choristoma is the formation of normal mature bone at an abnormal position. These are rare benign tumor-like growth usually asymptomatic except or swelling as clinical presentation. In oral cavity, osseous and commonly found in posterior third tongue. Clinically it misdiagnosed malignancy because its hardness. Clinically, also mistaken for other cavity lesions, especially those minor sal...

Osseous metaplasia is a rare disorder of endometrium in which a bone is formed from a different tissue inside the same individual. It is not generally applicable to the persistence of embryonic or foetal bone resulting in calcification or ossification. Most common presentation of osseous metaplasia of bone is infertility usually secondary. A case of osseous metaplasia as a cause of memetrorrhag...

Osseous metaplasia is a phenomenon which is described in a variety of tissue types with respect to both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions. In the gastrointestinal tract, osseous metaplasia (heterotopic bone formation) is rarely detected. Most of the reported cases were associated with malignant lesions. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a juvenile rectal polyp in a 14 years male, whi...
