Secondary osseous involvement in lymphoma is more common compared to primary bone lymphoma. The finding of osseous lesion can be incidentally discovered during the course of the disease. However, osseous metastases are infrequently silent. Detection of osseous metastases is crucial for accurate staging and optimal treatment planning of lymphoma. The aim of imaging is to identify the presence an...

We compared the ability to diagnose skeletal metastasis between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), C-terminal propeptide of blood type I procollagen (PICP), and urine type I collagen-crosslinked N telopeptide (NTx) in prostate cancer patients. In sixty-nine patients with prostate cancer, bone scintigraphy was performed, and serum PSA and PICP and urine NTx were measured. The median level of...

The neurofibroma (NF) is a benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath that rarely affects the head and neck. However, among neural lesions, this is the one that most frequently affects this region. The NF can be intra or extra-osseous, alone or multiple (associated with type I neurofibromatosis). The most common extra-osseous mouth NF locations are tongue, oral mucosa and lips. In the literatu...

Bone scintigraphy (BS) is an imaging tool commonly used for screening patients with cancer, especially those with high prevalence of osseous metastases including the breast, prostate, lung, thyroid, and kidney, which account for 80% of osseous metastasis. BS has been shown to be of value in the initial and subsequent treatment strategy of various malignancies. The purpose of this article is to ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Intra-osseous pathologic lesions of the jaw bones have different radiological and clinicopathological features from benign to malignant lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of jaw lesions in Isfahan, Iran, during 1992-2017. METHODS: In this descriptive-analytical study, all re...

INTRODUCTION Osseous metaplasia in the gastrointestinal tract is a rare phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 62-year-old Hispanic man with two colonic polypoid lesions, one of which, upon resection and histopathological examination, was found to be a traditional serrated adenoma with a focus of stromal osseous metaplasia. CONCLUSIONS Our patient's case is the third report ...
