Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor with a predilection for the bones of lower extremities and about one fourth of the tumors involve the foot.Radiologically, an eccentric lytic lesion with well defined margins is seen in the metaphysis of the bone. We hereby, report an 18 yr old young male who presented to Orthopedic Outpatient Department, JN Medical College, Aliga...

midface bones are an unusual site for primary presentation and relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. herein, we describe a case of acute pre b cell lymphoblastic leukemia with leukemic infiltration of maxilla and bone marrow involvement. at the time of relapse, the patient presented again with maxilla involvement and the phenotype changed to biphenotypic lymphoblastic leukemia. our case sugg...

osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder with an expression that varies from mild to severe disease affecting bone, sclera and middle ear. fertility is preserved, especially in those patients with type 1. we present hereby a pregnant woman with osteogenesis imperfecta that had over 30 fractures in long bones and vertebrae. the object of this report was to determine...

A NUMBER of bone diseases may affect the orbital bones decreasing the orbital volume and narrowing the optic canal, giving rise to unilateral exophthalmos and usually optic atrophy, simulating clinically an orbital tumour. Among such diseases are osteitis deformans (Paget, 1876); leontiasis ossea (Virchow, 1896); osteopetrosis (Albers-Schonberg, 1904), and the generalized and localized osteitis...

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the shape and morphometric features of obturator foramen (OF) in dry human bones.
 Methods: Forty-six (Right:15, Left:31) coxal bones were evaluated. Photographs samples for measurements taken using a transparent osteometric box (TOB) designed this study. Horizontal vertical diameters OF measured according two different principles. Measurements determine...

The incidence of limb bone fracture and subsequent morbidity and mortality due to excessive bone loss is increasing in the progressively ageing populations of both men and women. In contrast to bone loss in the weight-bearing limb, bone mass in the protective skull vault is maintained. One explanation for this could be anatomically diverse bone matrix characteristics generated by heterogeneous ...

BACKGROUND Axial osteitis of the proximal sesamoid bones and desmitis of the intersesamoidean ligament has been described in Friesian horses as well as in other breeds. The objectives of this study were to review the outcome of clinical cases of this disease in Friesian horses and analyse the pathology of the bone-ligament interface. Case records of Friesian horses diagnosed with axial osteitis...

Osteoclasts, the principal cells mediating bone resorption, are believed to increase their size, number, and resorbing activity in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) through mechanisms dependent upon the fusion of specific mononuclear precursor cells into either new or existing multinucleated osteoclasts. To address the question of whether these actions of PTH are dependent on the replicatio...
