Tumour of the oral cavity is a rare condition in young animals. The most frequent are odontomas – locally invasive tumours with no metastatic potential. article describes case report 4-month-old male puppy diagnosed mandibular odontoma cystic appearance. Authors present clinical features, histopathological examination and surgical management using deep curettage hydroxyapatite granules depositi...

An aneurysmal bone cyst is rare in the patella. We report the case of a 9 year-old boy who presented with chronic pain and no previous trauma history. Treatment included curettage of the cyst and filling with a iliac bone graft. Ten months after surgery, the knee was mobile and painless and graft incorporation was good.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare, benign, locally aggressive entity of the extragnathic craniofacial bones with a high tendency towards recurrence. Two distinctive microscopic patterns of juvenile ossifying fibroma have been described: a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TrJOF) and a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF). Psammomatoid variant is predominantly a craniofac...

The solid variant of aneurismal bone cysts (ABC) is considered rare. It occurs with greater frequency in pediatric patients and in the tibia, femur, pelvis and humerus. We present a case of a metaphyseal lytic lesion on the distal extremity of the radius in a child whose radiograph was requested after low-energy trauma. The hypothesis of a pathological bone fracture secondary to an aneurysmal b...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare benign bone tumours. Scapula is a very rare location, and the relative literature is sparse. The purpose of this study is to present a case of a giant aggressive scapular aneurysmal bone cyst in a child. A 7-year-old boy presented to our hospital with pain and a palpated mass on the right scapula. Imaging studies (radiographs computed tomography scintigraph...

A Dentigerous Cyst (DC) is the most common developmental odontogenic cyst that mostly happens in patients between 10 to 30 years of age. It is usually completely asymptomatic and is discovered on a routine radiographic examination or to evaluate the reason for an erupted tooth. Radiographically, this cyst usually presents a well-defined unilocular radiolucency attached to CEJ of an unerupted to...

A common rationale for bicameralism is that a second look at proposed legislation results in the enactment of informationally better legislation than that enacted by unicameral legislatures. This argument neglects that choices by bicameral chambers to acquire information arise within the strategic environment formed by the interplay of the chambers. Because information is costly, bicameral cham...

During the last decade unicameral proposals have been put forward in fourteen US states. In this paper we analyze the effects of the proposed constitutional reforms, in a setting where decision making is subject to ‘hard time constraints’, and lawmakers face the opposing interests of a lobby and the electorate. We show that bicameralism might lead to a decline in the lawmakers’ bargaining power...

MRI has become the secondary procedure of choice, after plain-film x-ray, for evaluating elbow abnormalities. The modality can visualize ligament and tendon injuries, compressive or entrapment neuropathy, bone injuries, inflammatory and synovial conditions, and soft-tissue masses. Congenital abnormalities in the elbow are rare. The most common is radial head dislocation, which may affect one or...
