lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Although oral dental tissue is a vertebrate attribute, trunk dental tissue evolved in several extinct vertebrate lineages but is rare among living species. The question of which processes trigger dental-tissue formation in the trunk remains open, and would shed light on odontogenesis evolution. Extra-oral dental structures (odontodes) in the trunk are associated with underlying dermal bony plat...

Tissue engineering has recently gained popularity as an alternative to autografts stimulate bone tissue regeneration through structures called scaffolds. Most of the in vivo experiments on long-bony defects use internally-stabilized generic Despite wide variety computational methods, a standardized protocol is required optimize ceramic scaffolds for load-bearing bony stabilized with flexible fi...

Complex facial injuries with soft tissue degloving and bony avulsion are very devastating to the patient. Partial degloving injuries are described but hemifacial degloving with zygoma avulsion are rare. The author presents a case of post-traumatic degloving of the left upper lip, nose, part of forehead, upper and lower eyelids and cheek with avulsion of the left zygoma. The management include...

The goal of this study was to compare the accuracy of abduction-external rotation magnetic resonance arthrography (ABERMRA) with standard MRA in the diagnosis of intra-articular shoulder pathology.One hundred three consecutive patients undergoing preoperative direct MRA and subsequent arthroscopic examination were included in the study. Seventy-eight patients underwent standard MRA and 25 under...

The central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour of jaw bone derived from the ectomesenchyme. It characterized by fibrous mature stroma with variable number strands or islands inactive-looking epithelium. presented case 46 years old male complaining asymptomatic mandibular bony swelling. Radiographically, lesion unilocular radiolucent, root resorption and displacement t...
