Bone Lesions I Flashcards
(57 cards)
How does bone remodeling occur?
Bone remodeling occurs through the process of destruction by osteoclasts and formation by osteoblasts.
What is the normal serum calcium and phosphorus and phosphatase enzyme level?
The normal serum calcium level is 9-11 mg/dl.
phosphorus level is 2.5-4.5 mg/dl
alkaline phosphatase enzyme level is 30-130 IU/I.
What characterizes fibro-osseous lesions?
characterized by the replacement of normal bone by cellular fibrous tissue from which new immature calcified tissue subsequently forms by metaplasia.بيكون عظم غير طبيعي
Is Fibrous dysplasia of bone inherited?
No, it is a developmental tumor-like condition but is not inherited.
What are some possible etiologies of Fibrous dysplasia?
Possible etiologies include
glandular dysfunction,
liver damage, infection, developmental factors
, and genetic bases (GNAS1 gene).
What are the two types of fibrous dysplasia?
The two types are Monostotic and Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
Describe Monostotic fibrous dysplasia.
Monostotic fibrous dysplasia is limited to a single bone and accounts for about 80-85% of all cases.
Site in jaws. Limp
more common in the maxilla than in the mandible.

Describe Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
more than one bone
It is more common in females than males (2-3 times).
Patients with severe polyostotic disease are usually diagnosed in childhood.

What syndromes may Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia be part of?
It may be part of Jaffe’s syndrome or Albright’s syndrome.
What is included in Jaffe’s syndrome?
Jaffe’s syndrome includes fibrous dysplasia involving a variable number of bones
(most of the skeleton is normal) and Café-au-lait pigmentations.
What is included in Albright’s syndrome?
involving most of the skeleton, Café-au-lait pigmentations, and endocrinal disorders such as precocious puberty (especially in females), acromegaly, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperprolactinemia.
What are the clinical features of fibrous dysplasia in the jaws?
increase in facial asymmetry and maxillary swelling.
Maxillary lesions may involve the maxillary sinus and floor of the orbit and are considered more serious than mandibular ones.
Mandibular lesions are typically monostotic and occur most frequently in the premolar and molar regions.
How can fibrous dysplasia affect teeth?
Teeth may be displaced,
interfering with occlusion
, and there may be failure of eruption due to loss of normal bone support.
Describe the radiographic appearance of fibrous dysplasia in the early stage.
In the early stage,
the lesion may be largely radiolucent (cyst-like radiolucency).
Describe the radiographic appearance of fibrous dysplasia in the mixed stage.
In the mixed stage, there is coarse mottling (“smoke screen pattern”) produced by irregular radio-opaque masses in a radiolucent background.
Describe the radiographic appearance of fibrous dysplasia in the final stage.
ill-defined radio-opaque مهم . The appearance can also be described as “Orange peel appearance”.مهم
What are the histopathological features of fibrous dysplasia?
normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue containing thin, irregular, immature (woven) bone islands and trabeculae. Small foci of osteoclastic multinucleated giant cells may be present. The fibrous tissue can be cellular with a whorled pattern دوامه or consist of thick collagen bundles. The newly formed trabeculae often have bizarre curvilinear shapes resembling Chinese script writing. The lesional bone fuses directly to normal bone at the periphery without a capsule or line of demarcation.
Who is most commonly affected by Ossifying fibroma?
Age
Sex
Ossifying fibroma is seen in children and adults, with a definite female predominance.
Where does Ossifying fibroma most often arise?
It arises in tooth-bearing regions of the jaws, most often in the mandible.
What are the signs and symptoms of Ossifying fibroma?
Signs and symptoms include a localized, hard, painless, and non-tender swelling of the jaw with slow growth and gradual increase in facial deformity. Displacement of teeth may also occur.
What is the most important radiographic feature of Ossifying fibroma?
The most important radiographic feature is the well-circumscribed, sharply defined borders. Will define.
How does the radiographic appearance of Ossifying fibroma vary?
The appearance varies depending on the maturation or amount of calcification present.
What are the histopathological features of Ossifying fibroma?
The lesion is well encapsulated
varying numbers of uniform spindle or stellate cells.
Variable calcific deposits in the form of irregular woven bone trabeculae, lamellar bone, small ovoid to globular basophilic deposits,
or cementum-like material
What characterizes Giant Cell Lesions?
Giant Cell Lesions are characterized by the presence of multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs).
