چکیده
The differences in molecular mechanisms between osteochondroma and bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the differentially expressed genes between BPOP and osteochondroma were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus online database, and the associations among these genes were analyzed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) online bioinformatics software. The results revealed several differentially expressed genes between human BPOP and osteochondroma. These differentially expressed genes were also enriched in different subgroups based on the analysis using DAVID online software, including 'transforming growth factor β receptor signaling pathway', 'BMP signaling pathway', 'Wnt receptor signaling pathway', 'response to chemical stimulus', 'regulation of inflammatory response', 'response to stress', 'glycosaminoglycan binding', 'polysaccharide binding', 'extracellular matrix structural constituent' and 'growth factors binding'. Taken together, these findings led to the conclusion that different gene regulatory mechanisms exist between BPOP and osteochondroma. Environmental stimulation and inflammation may contribute to BPOP or osteochondroma, and differences in extracellular matrix may contribute to differences in biological characteristics between BPOP and osteochondroma.

Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation causing angular deformities: A Case Report
INTRODUCTION There have been fewer than 150 cases of Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora Lesions) reported in the literature to date and no significant reports on angular deformities caused by this lesion. Nora's lesion can easily be misdiagnosed as osteochondroma or chondrosarcoma and therefore inappropriately managed. Although this condition classically appears in the sec...

BACKGROUND Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is benign and usually occurs in the small tubular bones of the hands and feet, but it is extremely rare in the oral and maxillofacial region. METHODS The present study compares a case of BPOP occurring in the lingual area of the right mandibular body with a representative case of osteochondroma occurring in the left mandibul...

Histologically, osteochondromas are hamartomas developed from endochondral ossification which are coated with a thin cartilage layer [1]. Epidemiologically, these are the most frequent benign tumor, after nonossifying fibromas and metaphyseal lacunae, representing, in the Unni series [2], about 40 % of all benign tumors, and they are located preferentially at the metaphyseal level of long bones...

Abstract Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also known as Nora's lesion is a rare osteocartilaginous lesion composed of a disorganized mixture of cartilage, bone, and fibrous tissue. In this article we report a case of BPOP arising on the proximal and middle phalanx of ring finger in a 31 year-old woman. The clinical, radiographic, MR imaging and histopathologic find...
متن کاملBizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora's lesion) of the forefoot.
Nora's tumour is an uncommon benign tumour, involving mostly tubular bones of hands and feet, and characterized by a proliferation of chondroid, bony and fibrous tissues. Main differential diagnoses are osteochondroma, chondrosarcoma, and osteosarcoma. The authors report a case involving the left foot. The diagnosis was suspected by imaging characteristic features and was confirmed by histologi...
