The aim of this case series was to reveal the difficulties in diagnosing fibro-osseous lesions with radiological and histopathological examinations and quantify the potential risk of infection to fibro-osseous legions. To analyze the concordance between radiological and histopathological diagnoses, this retrospective case series included patients who were clinically diagnosed with fibro-osseous...

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults with no sex predilection and locates most often in the posterior segment of the mandible. A painless swelling is the most common clinical sign. Radiologically, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma shows a circumscribed radiolucency, which contains radio-opaque foci of various sizes and...

The worldwide incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has been increasing. Although its diagnosis is well established in adults, in children it is difficult due to its particular aspects. We report a 3 years and 8 month-old infant who experienced chronic wheezing, classified as moderate-to-severe asthma, had recurrent pneumonia, and was not responsive to management with beta adrenergic agents. Chest X-r...

Swelling of jaws with mixed opacity and lucency can have a spectrum of differential diagnosis, which includes odontogenic tumors, fibro‐osseous lesions and rarely the connective tissue neoplasms. With respect to the fibro‐osseous lesions, most of the time, histopathological features will be overlapping. In such cases, it is very important to arrive at a precise diagnosis for better treatment pl...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY: The assessment of liver fibrosis provides useful information not only for diagnosis but also for therapeutic decision. This study was concerned with determining the levels of collagen III and its degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) as direct and complementary markers for liver fibrosis staging. RESULTS A total of 269 chronic h...

Cherubism is a rare inherited fibro-osseous bone disease involving mainly mandible and maxilla causing prominence in the lower portion of face. A 13 yr old male child with a swelling of lower jaw since birth had bilateral multilocular radiolucencies in posterior mandible in both X-ray and CT scan. Cytology of the swelling revealed many giant cells dispersed in the stroma which was diagnosed to ...

Autoimmune pancreatitis is a fibro-inflammatory form of chronic pancreatitis. It is diagnosed by the combination of imaging studies such as a CT scan and pancreatography, laboratory analyses that include IgG4 and/or autoantibodies, histopathological evaluations and positive response to corticosteroid therapy. We report the case of a 41-year-old female with a history of jaundice and increasing a...

BACKGROUND Malignant phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare fibro epithelial neoplasm of the breast, which is poor prognosis due to high risk of recurrence and distant metastasis. METHODS We report a case of malignant PT. It had recurred locally five times, and the sixth relapse was occurred 54 months after first diagnosis, presenting a huge pelvic mass (14 cm × 11 cm) by CT scan. Histopathological e...

An inflammatory liposarcoma is a rare variant of a well-differentiated liposarcoma. A case of a giant variety of an inflammatory well-differentiated liposarcoma is being reported. CT scan revealed a large abdomino-pelvic mass which had displaced the gut loops to left and posteriorly and urinary bladder and uterus to right. FNAC yielded mature adipocytes with no evidence of atypical cells. The l...
