Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disease first described by Lichtenstein in 1938. It is characterized by progressive replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. When the disease involves craniofacial skeleton, it results in significant disfigurement and other functional problems. This paper reports a case of large craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involving zygomaticomaxilla...

SUMMARY Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is commonly seen in black women, but few cases have been reported in sub-Saharan Africa. This article presents two cases of FCOD seen at the University College Hospital Ibadan. Two women aged 70 and 60 years were initially diagnosed as chronic osteomyelitis but both were eventually diagnosed as florid cementoosseous dysplasia after radiological ex...

INTRODUCTION Mazabraud's syndrome is a rare but well-described disorder characterized by fibrous dysplasia in single or multiple bones associated with one or more soft-tissue myxomas. In this report, we describe what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case involving an intra-osseous myxoma. This finding supports, and could provide new insight into, the pathological association between ...

OBJECTIVES Osseous dysplasias are the most common subtype of fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial bones. They are benign and often present as incidental asymptomatic lesions. Diagnosis can be made with clinical and radiographic examination. CASE REPORT This article reports the case of a 47-year-old man with a huge cementifying osseous dysplasia of the maxilla that presented with seconda...

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...

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare disease diagnosed by skeletal malformations, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNs), and T-cell immunodeficiency. Proteinuria with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) the most common renal pathologic finding in SIOD. In this case report, we present an 8-year-old boy generalized edema, kyphosis, who was eventually

Cement-osseous dysplasia is a disease of localized fibrotic connective tissue proliferation accompanying cementum or bone-like hard at the tooth apex, while simple bone cyst specific featuring cavity without epithelial lining. Here, we report case cement-osseous associated with multiple cysts resembling cavities. A 60-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due complaint recurring pain and ...

BACKGROUND Fibro-osseous lesion is a broad term for a diverse group of jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of normal bone by a benign fibrous connective tissue matrix. The present study reviewed the clinico-pathologic characteristics of all biopsied cases of fibro-osseous lesions at our hospital from 1990 to 2011, which we hope will serve as a reference database regionally. METHODS...
