Hyperostosis is the most common skull change associated with meningioma. Five hyperostosis cases of meningioma en plaque infiltrating the skull processed without previous decalcification of the bone tissue were investigated histologically and immunohistochemically with antibodies against somatostatin receptor 2A (SSR2A). Undecalcified bone biopsies embedded in methylmethacrylate and paraffin-em...

Ankylosing hyperostosis is a condition in which new bone is laid down on the right antero-lateral aspect of the dorsal vertebrae and across the intervertebral spaces forming spurs or bridges. The lumbar and cervical spines, pelvis, hips, and knees may also be involved. There is no single approved name for this condition. Oppenheimer (1942) described 'Calcification and ossification of vertebral ...

BACKGROUND Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is an idiopathic spinal disease common in the elderly and characterized by flowing ossification and osteophyte formation along the spinal column. Cervical hyperostosis is capable of producing dysphagia, stridor, and airway obstruction; however, there are no extant reports of true paralysis of bilateral vocal folds in patients fulfilling...

The association between meningioma and hyperostosis of adjacent calvarium is well established. However, the cause of hyperostosis is still not certain. Various authors in the past have tried to explain this phenomenon by preceding trauma or by bone irritation by the tumor without bone invasion, while some believe it to be because of stimulation of osteoblasts in normal bone by factors secreted ...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to review the literature linking metabolic factors to Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH), in order to assess associations between growth factors and DISH. METHOD We identified studies in our personal database and PubMed using the following keywords in various combinations: "diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis", "ankylosing hyperostosis", "Forestier's dise...

OBJECTIVE Hyperostosis-hyperphosphataemia syndrome (HHS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by hyperphosphataemia, inappropriately normal or elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and localized painful cortical hyperostosis. HHS was shown to be caused by inactivating mutations in GALNT3, encoding UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GalNAc-t...

The patient is an 80 year old white male who was referred for NaF18 PET/CT bone scan to evaluate for possible prostate cancer metastasis. We found no evidence of prostate cancer metastasis but there was an incidental finding of early hyperostosis frontalis interna in bilateral inner tables of frontal bone on PET/CT scan. The thickness of the inner table of frontle bones was normal on CT scan im...

Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) infusion is usually administered for short periods to maintain patency of ductus arteriosus in infants with cyanotic heart disease. Prolonged therapy may be necessary while patients are awaiting surgical treatment. Several side effects occur at the onset of the treatment, most of them reversible once the treatment is discontinued. Cortical hyperostosis is a frequent comp...
