Nonneoplastic Diseases of Bone

(pg. 277) (Box 8-1)

These diseases fall into several categories.

Several are discussed in other chapters. Inherited diseases affecting bone Ch 6 Benign and malignant neoplasms Ch 7 Central and peripheral giant cell granulomas Ch 2 Aneurysmal bone cyst Ch 5 This chapter covers several other nonneoplastic diseases not included elsewhere.

Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia

(pgs. 277-278)

A relatively common disease of unknown cause that affects periapical bone Clinical and radiographic features

Discovered on radiographs Occurs most commonly in the anterior mandible of patients older than 30 More common in women than men many studies indicate a predilection for black women. Early lesions are well circumscribed and radiolucent. With time, they become increasingly calcified. Older lesions may be radiolucent with central
opacifications.

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

(pgs. 277-278) A biopsy may be necessary in cases where characteristic radiographic features are not evident. Histologic examination reveals a fibro-osseous lesion composed of fibrous tissue and calcifications. Early lesions consist of mainly fibrous tissue, where older lesions contain numerous calcifications. None

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Focal Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

(pgs. 277-278) The histologic features are similar to periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia and florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, but it has unique clinical and radiographic features.

An asymptomatic fibro-osseous lesion

Focal Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

Clinical and radiographic features

Usually occurs in women between 30 and 50 years of age More common in white than in black individuals Typically arises in the posterior mandible Appears as an isolated, well-delineated radiolucent to radiopaque lesion less than 1.5 cm

Focal Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

Diagnosis and Treatment

Biopsy and histologic examination are usually necessary to establish a diagnosis, A surgical feature is that it is composed of numerous gritty pieces of soft and hard tissue.

11

Florid Cemento-osseous Dysplasia

(pgs. 278-279)

A condition of disordered cementum and bone development

Characteristically involves multiple quadrants in the maxilla and mandible.

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

12

Florid Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

(pgs. 278-279) Occurs most often in middle-aged black women who are older than 49 It typically affects more than one quadrant of the maxilla and mandible, often in posterior areas. Masses of irregular opacification are noted that are composed of dense, sclerotic bone, cementum, or both.

14

Florid Cemento-osseous Dysplasia (cont.)

Diagnosis and Treatment

Often diagnosed based on characteristic clinical presentation and radiographic appearance In an edentulous patient, the sclerotic masses may perforate the mucosa. This may lead to osteomyelitis, requiring surgery and antibiotics.

15

Fibrous Dysplasia

(pg. 279)

A disease characterized by replacement of bone with abnormal fibrous connective tissue interspersed with varying amounts of calcification The cause is unknown.

One theory is it may be due to abnormal mesenchymal cell function.

Histologically, it is a benign fibro-osseous lesion, with vascularized, cellular fibrous connective tissue interspersed with irregular trabeculae of bone.

Types of Fibrous Dysplasia

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

17

Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia

(pg. 279)

Characterized by involvement of a single bone

The maxilla is more frequently involved than the mandible. Most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults with no sex predilection Clinical examination reveals a painless swelling or bulging of the buccal plate.

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

18

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia

(pgs. 279-280)

Characterized by involvement of more than one bone

Typically occurs in children with a female predilection When long bones are involved, they may exhibit bowing and an associated dull aching pain. Patients may have skin lesions appearing as light-brown macules called caf au lait spots.

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

19

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia (cont.)

There are several types

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia Involves the maxilla with extension into the sinuses and
adjacent zygoma, sphenoid, and occipital bones

Jaffe type Involves multiple bones along with caf au lait macules
on the skin

Albright syndrome Characterized by endocrine abnormalities, precocious

puberty in females, stunting or deformity of skeletal growth in both sexes as a result of premature closing of the epiphyseal plates caf au lait spots

20

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia (cont.)

(pgs. 279-280) A painless enlargement of affected bone or bones Typically, a painless, progressive, unilateral enlargement of the mandible or maxilla. The classic radiographic appearance is a diffuse radiopacity looking like ground glass.

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia (cont.)

(pgs. 279-280) Characterized by cellular fibrous connective tissue interspersed with irregularly shaped bony trabeculae In fibrous dysplasia, radiographic changes blend into the surrounding normal bone. Surgical recontouring of bone for cosmetic reasons

Paget Disease of Bone (Osteitis deformans)

(pgs. 280-281) Characterized by resorption, osteoblastic repair, and remineralization of involved bone Unknown cause may be due to a virus Most commonly occurs in men over age 50 The maxilla is more commonly affected than the mandible.

A chronic metabolic bone disease

Elsevier items and derived items 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

25

Paget Disease of Bone

(pgs. 280-281) Enlargement is common; the patient often complains of pain. Spaces may increase between teeth as bone enlarges. A patchy radiolucency and radiopacity, cotton wool Hypercementosis, loss of lamina dura, and obliteration of the periodontal ligament may occur.

Paget Disease of Bone (cont.)

(pgs. 280-281) The serum alkaline phosphatase level is significantly elevated in active disease. Histologic examination reveals bony trabeculae surfaced with numerous osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Prominent reversal lines may create a pattern known as mosaic bone. Experimental; the disease is slowly progressive

281-282)

Composed of well-vascularized connective tissue containing many multinucleated giant cells

Occurs within bone

A disease of bone that develops over a long period of time

The result of calcium deficiency In young children, it is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D. In adults, it may be related to various health problems.

Discussion Questions

With what disease are ground glass and fingerprint pattern associated? What is Paget disease? What are the signs of osteomalacia?
