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...

Osseous choristoma is a rare, benign lesion of the oral cavity. This report presents a case of osseous choristoma in the submental region of a 30-year-old female subject. Her chief complaint was a painless swelling in the submental region. Panoramic radiography showed a well-defined, round, radiopaque lesion near the inferior border of the left mental region. The lesion was diagnosed as an osse...

A clinical evaluation was undertaken to compare regeneration of osseous defects following implantation of either osseous coagulum-bone blend from intraoral sources or autogenous iliac marrow-cancellous bone. Thirty-two transplants were performed in 15 male patients. The intraosseous defects in which marrow was placed (initial average depth = 7.18 mm) filled 60.7% (average fill = 4.36 mm). Defec...

Multiple drilling is reported to be an effective treatment for osteonecrosis of the head of femur, but its effect on intra-osseous pressure has not been described. We undertook multiple drilling and recorded the intra-osseous pressure in 75 osteonecrotic hips in 60 patients with a mean age of 42 years (19 to 67). At a mean follow-up of 37.1 months (24 to 60), 42 hips (56%) had a clinically succ...

A benign bone neoplasm known as an osseous fibroma is frequently referred fibro-osseous lesion. It has a stronger preference for females and thought to have originated from periodontal membrane. Maxilla less often afflicted than the mandible. This made up of highly cellular, fibrous tissue with varied levels calcified tissue, which may resemble cementum, bone, or both. Depending on degree calci...

BACKGROUND The medial ulnar collateral ligament is the major soft tissue restraint to valgus displacement of the elbow. Currently, little has been published regarding the medial ulnar collateral ligament's ulnar footprint. HYPOTHESIS The medial ulnar collateral ligament has a long attachment onto the ulna and the anatomy of the footprint is consistent. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory st...

Osseous choristoma is the formation of normal mature bone at an abnormal position. These are rare benign tumor-like growth usually asymptomatic except or swelling as clinical presentation. In oral cavity, osseous and commonly found in posterior third tongue. Clinically it misdiagnosed malignancy because its hardness. Clinically, also mistaken for other cavity lesions, especially those minor sal...
