Effects of Calcitonin in Metastatic Bone Carcinoma, Osteoporosis, Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia and Hypercalcemia

Bone-Grafting in Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia.

BACKGROUND Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal disease that results from somatic activating mutations in the gene GNAS in skeletal stem cells, leading to proliferation of immature osteogenic cells with replacement of normal marrow and bone with fibro-osseous tissue. Lesions may cause bone deformity or fracture. In the surgical care of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, the role of grafting ...

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia Mimicking Multiple Bone Metastases in a Patient with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ

Whole-body bone scans and whole body (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic/computed tomographic scans are sensitive for detecting bone metastasis in patients with breast cancer. However, it is often difficult to discriminate between bone metastasis and other nonmalignant bone lesions. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder characterized by the osteoid medullary cavity...
