the majority of osseous tumors of the hand are benign. the surgeon who evaluates and treats osseous tumors of the hand has to be familiar with limb anatomy, tumor biology, various presentations of the tumors and the range of treatment possibilities and their limitations. lesions in the hand more often present earlier in their course than those at other sites, just because they are more likely t...

Six cases of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) of the jaw bone in Jamaicans are reviewed. Five were documented over a 15-year period (1980-1995). These include a case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (previously called gigantiform cementoma). Three of the initial cases were histologically diagnosed as gigantiform cementoma. There was no indication in the patient's case file whether these were ...

We report a case of intra-osseous meningioma of the skull in a 45 year old lady secondary to trauma, preoperatively suspecting it to be chronic osteomylitis. According to literature search only one case intra-osseous meningioma has been reported. Intra-osseous meningioma secondary to trauma has not been reported before.

RESULTS: Nine of the 10 arms were male. The APL tendon had a mean of 3.3 ± 1.3 slips. The EPB tendon had one slip in all specimens. Seven compartments (70%) had an identifiable EPB subcompartment and four (57%) were thick. An osseous ridge was seen in 2 specimens, both with a thick subcompartment. The two arms with osseous ridges revealed radiopaque ridges on x-ray. Radiologists’ x-ray reviews ...

Osseous sarcoidosis is relatively uncommon, and treatment with corticosteroids is not always effective. Moreover, patients with an advanced stage of pulmonary sarcoidosis are sometimes infected with aspergillus in the cavities of the pulmonary lesions, and long-term use of corticosteroids should be prohibited to prevent the development of fatal invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Here, we describ...

Central ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion that arises from the periodontal ligament. Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia is another variant of fibro-osseous lesion which occurs in the anterior region of the mandible of females. Odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that contains enamel, dentine cement and pulp tissue. A 46-year-old woman was referred to the Department o...

Osseous metaplasia is a rare finding in colonic neoplasms. We report a case osseous metaplasia in a 74 year-old male who underwent surveillance colonoscopy and found to have a 7 mm rectal polyp. Histopathologic examination revealed an inflammatory polyp with osseous metaplasia.

A lipogranuloma is an inflammatory reactive process associated with exogenous or endogenous lipids, and it's occurrence in the breast has rarely been reported. Osseous metaplasia, which is used to describe bone formation in abnormal locations, can develop from several conditions such as trauma or a tumor. However, few studies have reported benign breast lesions that have been seen as osseous me...

INTRODUCTION Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare type of breast cancer. Osseous differentiation is a very rare subtype. Reporting this kind of case is important because its clinical course and line of management are poorly mentioned in the literatures. We present a very rare case of MBC with osseous differentiation. A 48-year-old female presented with painless hard mass of the left bre...
