INTRODUCTION Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is a colorectal cancer syndrome characterized by the development of colorectal cancer and extracolonic tumors, and this syndrome has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. To our knowledge, our study was the first to find dento-osseous anomalies and the second to observe Fordyce granules in a family with individuals with hereditary nonp...

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. This condition has also been classified as gigantiform cementoma, chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, sclerosing osteitis, multiple estenosis and sclerotic cemental masses. It usually exhibits as multiple radiopaque cementum-like masses distributed through...

Two hundred fifty-five solitary and 42 multiple cases of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws, and 74 cases of sclerosing osteomyelitis were studied clinico-pathologically, in order to discuss the entity of peculiar cemental lesion with sequester-like appearance, which occurs mainly in the mandibular molar area of over middle-aged females. Four allied lesions, including the sequester-like cemental...

Hemorrhage control is often a problem for the clinician during osseous surgery. Ferric sulfate is an effective hemostatic agent, but with prolonged application to an osseous defect can cause persistent inflammation and delayed healing. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of ferric sulfate as a hemostatic agent and to determine its effect on healing after thorough...

fibrous dysplasia (fd) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. it is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...

Background: The osteogenic Runt-related (RUNX) transcription factor Runx2 is frequently elevated in osseous and non-osseous tumor cells. Result: Genomic RUNX2 target genes were identified, and RUNX2 depletion reduces cell motility and adhesion in osteosarcoma cells. Conclusion: RUNX2 regulates cell motility and adhesion in osteosarcoma cells. Significance: RUNX2 may also control migration of no...

Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors of plasma cell origin that constitute less than 10% of all plasma cell neoplasms. These tumors are categorized as extramedullary plasmacytomas (non-osseous) or solitary plasmacytomas of bone (osseous). Extramedullary plasmacytomas frequently remain localized and usually can be treated effectively with radiation therapy, whereas solitary plasmacytomas of bone fr...

This clinical note introduces a method to assist surgeons in performing single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy. For use in this method, a surgical guide was manufactured using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology and was based on preoperative surgical simulation data. This method was highly conducive to successful single-tooth dento-osseous segmental osteotomy.

Fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial bones should be classified based on their radiographic growth pattern. This method can simplify this category of lesions, which have considerable overlapping histologic features. These neoplasms can be grouped into three categories: (a) fibrous dysplasia; (b) ossifying fibroma; (c) and osseous dysplasia. Important lesions in the differential diagnosis ...

A newborn girl is described with an association of spondylo-acrodysplasia, mild short limbed dwarfism without significant metaphyseal changes, joint dislocations, and severe immune system dysfunction. This association is distinct from other known immuno-osseous dysplasias, including Schimke dysplasia, ADA deficiency with osseous changes, and Omenn phenotype with short limbed dwarfism.
