Proliferative, reparative, and reactive benign bone lesions that may be confused diagnostically with true osseous neoplasms

For inclusion in Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology: PROLIFERATIVE, REPARATIVE, & REACTIVE BENIGN BONE LESIONS THAT MAY BE CONFUSED DIAGNOSTICALLY WITH TRUE OSSEOUS NEOPLASMS

Listen Too Closely and You May Be Confused

Among the most basic simplifying assumptions of modern communications security is the notion that most communication channels should, by their very nature, be considered vulnerable to interception. It has long been considered almost reckless to suggest depending on any supposed intrinsic security properties of the network itself1, and especially foolish in complex, decentralized, heterogeneousl...

Bone imaging demonstration of osseous lesions and hepatic uptake: Amyloid and renal dialysis effect

A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex. A review.

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex are represented by a variety of disease processes that are characterized by pathologic ossifications and calcifications in association with a hypercellular fibroblastic marrow element. The current classification includes neoplasms, developmental dysplastic lesions and inflammatory/reactive processes. The definitive diagnosis can rarely be...
