Twofold magnification radiograms of hands and feet in 384 diabetic cases were reviewed to determine the correlation between clinical findings and osseous lesions, especially early changes. A small, well-demarcated, round radiolucent lesion (small lytic lesion) was the most frequent finding in 87.2% of the 384 patients. In particular, a small lytic lesion of less than I mm in diameter was encoun...

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...

There are three types of osseous dysplasia: periapical cemental dysplasia (PCD), focal cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCD) and florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). While PCD is often observed in mandibular anterior teeth, FCD mainly affects mandibular posterior teeth. FOD, on the other hand, commonly involves both jaws. FOD is a type of sclerosing disease that is characterised by intense opaque masses a...

Fibro-osseous lesions compose woven or immature bone formed by benign proliferation of spindle cells. Based on radiographic and histologic features, these lesions are grouped into many specifi c entities.[1] The overlapping histological and confusing nomenclature can be simplifi ed by their radiographic presentation. They are clearly defi ned by their pattern in plain radiograph or in computed ...

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast, classified as benign, borderline, or malignant based on histological features. Osseous metaplasia, characterized by presence bone formation within tumor, is an uncommon finding. This case report highlights rarity osseous metaplasia in a benign phyllodes tumor. A 23-year-old female presented with gradually enlarging lump left bre...

Langerhans cells are dendritic that form the antigenic barrier of human body. They occur in nearly any tissue but most prevalent skin, submucosa bronchial tree, and other mucosae. Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) develops when these damage tissues which they reside through a combination inflammatory monoclonal stimulation. The pulmonary variant LCH involves lung parenchyma creates wide variety disturba...

Bone metastasis occurs as a result of a complex pathophysiologic process between host and tumor cells leading to cellular invasion, migration adhesion, and stimulation of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity. The process is mediated by parathyroid hormones, cytokines, and tumor-derived factors. Several sequelae occur as a result of osseous metastases and resulting bone pain can lead to signif...

PURPOSE This article reviews a few of the commonly used types of vascularized osseous free flaps in maxillofacial reconstruction, which still represents the gold standard of restoration. We also discuss the developing concepts in maxillofacial reconstruction. RECENT FINDINGS Most of the literature reconfirms the established patterns of reconstruction with the aid of vascularized osseous free ...

Bone scan is a well-established imaging modality in detection of osseous metastasis. However, its sensitivity decreases at evaluating lytic osseous metastasis in such entity as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increasingly, Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) with dual-time points imaging is utilized in detection of osseous metastasis from hepatocellular car...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the occurrence of temporomandibular joint disk displacement and its correlation with pain and osseous abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients under 21 years of age. STUDY DESIGN MRI images in open- and closed-mouth positions from 102 patients, under 21 years of age (mean age 17 years), were studied retrospectively. Patients were divided into six ...
