1/76. Stafne bone cyst. Revision of four cases, one of them with bilateral affectation.Stafne bone cyst of the mandible is the only described destructive bone lesion that is highly localized, nonprogressive, but nonhealing. Such defects usually occur unilaterally, however, bilateral defects are occasionally reported. This paper reports 4 cases of Stafne's bone cyst, one of which showed bilateral presentation. Only four previous cases of bilateral Stafne bone cyst have been reported in the literature. The bibliography is reviewed with regard to the incidence, plausible etiologic factors and methods of diagnosis of such lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/76. The solitary bone cyst. Report of two cases.Two cases of solitary bone cyst are described. Case 1 is interesting in that the age of presentation was near the extreme lower end of the range of recorded cases, and also the site was in the mandibular ramus, extending to the sigmoid notch, which is one of the least common sites in this bone. Furthermore, the lesion was not clinically silent; 26 per cent of Howe's series had swelling with or without pain, and 24 per cent of Huebner's and Turlington's series. Cases 2 illustrates the value of radiographs which give a general view of the mandible and maxilla, since this particular lesion was quite unexpected. Although the etiology is still dispute, the treatment by surgical intervention is almost universally agreed upon.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.000551391399keywords = mandible, lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/76. paresthesia and the traumatic bone cyst. Abbreviated case report.A case of a traumatic bone cyst is reported because of the unusual nature of the chief complaint.

4/76. Intraosseous ganglion of the triquetrum. A transpisiformal approach.A cystic subchondral bone defect without joint pathology is called an intraosseous ganglion. Most occur in the lower limb. In the wrist the scaphoid and lunate are most often involved. We report a case of an intraosseous ganglion within the triquetrum, treated by curettage and grafting with the pisiform that had been removed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0005513913990473keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/76. Distraction osteogenesis in functional reconstruction of mandible--report of 6 cases.OBJECTIVE: To study the application of distraction osteogenesis in mandibular function reconstruction. methods: Three types of mandibular distractors were used in 6 patients with different mandibular defects due to tumor resection. For 2 cases with ramus defects, specially designed distractors were used to restore the normal height of the ramus. In 1 case, the trifoci distraction principle was used and a trifoci distractor was designed. In 3 cases, vertical distractors made in germany or china were used. The patient average age was 31.5 years old (ages ranged from 8 to 54). RESULTS: In 5 cases the mandibular lengthenings were successful according to the direction and distance chosen before distraction. In 1 case, the trifoci distraction principle was applied and a proximal 23 mm mandibular defect was successfully corrected; however, the 23 mm distal mandibular defect was not corrected because the screws for fixation of the transport block were loosened. infection and dysosteogenesis did not occur in any cases. CONCLUSION: Distraction osteogenesis can successfully be used in mandibular functional reconstruction and is more advantageous than traditional techniques. The most favorable time for distraction osteogenesis in mandibular reconstruction is at the time of tumor resection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/76. Intraosseous ganglion in the first metacarpal bone.Intraosseous ganglia occur most frequently in the long bones of the lower limbs, particularly in the medial malleolus of the tibia. They usually appear as radiographically well circumscribed juxta-articular cystic lesions, containing myxoid fibrous tissue histologically. Intraosseous ganglia in the hand are very rare. Most reported cases have involved the carpal bones, in particular the lunate and scaphoid. To our knowledge, the present case is the third report of an intraosseous ganglion appearing in the first metacarpal bone; it arose in a patient who had been on dialysis for 25 years, mimicking amyloidosis of bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0005513913990473keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/76. The "turban" nevoid basal cell syndrome. Current management with surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy."Turban" nevoid basal cell syndrome is a congenital disease that presents with multiple subepidermal epitheliomas, primarily on the scalp. Other secondary findings may be present such as cysts in the mandible and bifid synostotic rib. A combination of treatments proved beneficial in this disease. Surgical excision was used for treatment of large symptomatic lesions such as painful ulcerating and enlarging tumors. Chemotherapy was used to arrest and cause regression of small and dormant lesions. immunotherapy was used to control the primary disease. Such treatment cured most of the disease and offered a fruitful life to the patient, who is presented to illustrate this multiple disciplinary approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/76. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxilla--an association with tooth resorption.The aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon lesion of the jaws. Cases involving the maxilla have been reported infrequently. Despite uncertainty as to the aetiology of the aneurysmal bone cyst, it is regarded as a benign lesion. Conservative surgical treatment with regular postoperative follow-up is recommended. The case described here presented with tooth mobility resulting from extensive root resorption. A review of the literature reveals that significant root resorption is not a commonly reported feature of aneurysmal bone cysts. For the present case we interpret the evidence as supporting a diagnosis of idiopathic root resorption complicated by the formation of a aneurysmal bone cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.1108239873779keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/76. The traumatic bone cyst: review of literature and report of two cases.The traumatic bone cyst, seen by clinicians both physician and dentist alike, is a well recognized yet poorly understood entity whose pathogenesis remains obscure. Generally asymptomatic, this lesion is most often found as an incidental finding on routine radiographic survey. Its diagnosis, however, is important to rule out more significant pathology. A brief review of pertinent literature and two new cases of traumatic bone cyst have been presented, including an infrequently reported case of traumatic bone cysts occurring bilaterally in the mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/76. Brown tumor of the femur associated with double parathyroid adenomas.Severe parathyroid bone disease is a rare clinical presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism. Double parathyroid adenomas are even more rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The authors present a case of double parathyroid adenomas in a 48-year-old man, who presented with painful left lower limb swelling, which was slowly growing in size in the last 20 years. magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic bony lesion and coincidentally, a urinary bladder calculus. biopsy of the mass revealed giant cell lesion. Laboratory investigations showed hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia with elevated parathyroid hormone level. A computerized tomography scan of the neck delineated an adenoma of the left superior parathyroid gland, which was surgically removed. The left inferior parathyroid was also enlarged and was removed. Histological diagnosis confirmed double parathyroid adenomas. The rarity and the interesting clinical presentation of such association are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0005513913990473keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
