Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibroosseous bone dysplasia that can involve single (monostotic) or multiple (polyostotic) bones. Monostotic form is more frequent in the jaws. It is termed as craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, when it involves, though rarely, adjacent craniofacial bones. A 16-year-old girl consulted for a painless swelling in the right posterior mandible for two years. Panoramic radiography revealed ground-glass ill-defined lesions in the three different regions of the maxilla and mandible. Axial CT scan (bone window) showed multiple lesions involving skull base and facial bones. Despite lesions in the skull base, the patient had no abnormal neurological findings. The lesion was diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia based on radiological and histopathological examination. In this paper, CT findings and differential diagnosis of CFD are discussed. CT is a useful imaging technique for CFD cases.

Latar belakang. Ameloblastoma dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada tulang wajah baik pada maksila maupun mandibula. Tumor ini dapat mengalami rekurensi apabila perawatan tidak sempurna. Reseksi pada tulang yang terkena adalah tindakan yang biasa dilakukan untuk perawatan tumor ini. Tindakan ini dapat menyebabkan gangguan maloklusi, gangguan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan gigi dan tulang rahang bila dilakukan pada anak-anak dan remaja, gangguan estetika, dan berdampak psikologis. Oleh karena itu tindakan alternatif dalam perawatan ameloblastoma adalah dengan metode dredging. Tujuan laporan kasus ini menjelaskan perawatan metode dredging pada rekuren ameloblastoma pada penderita laki-laki usia dua puluh tujuh tahun sehingga dapat menghilangkan dampak psikologis dari penderita. Kasus. Penderita laki-laki usia dua puluh tujuah tahun dengan keluhan benjolan dalam mulut, tidak terasa sakit, dan merasa bertambah besar. Terdapat asimetri wajah di sebelah kanan, tidak ada perubahan warna kulit. Penderita mengaku pernah dioperasi tujuh tahun yang lalu. Pada pemeriksaan intra oral didapatkan benjolan pada mandibula di daerah bukal dari daerah gigi 42 sampai 46. Pada palpasi terasa ada fluktuasi, rasa sakit ringan dan warna mukosa normal. Pada gambaran foto panoramic terlihat area radiolusen dengan batas jelas dari daerah 42 sampai 46 dengan melibatkan aspek dari gigi 42 dan 43. Dari hasil biopsi dan pemeriksaan patologi anatomi dinyatakan sebagai ameloblastoma unikistik tipe folikuler. Penatalaksanaan. Dredging dikerjakan dengan melakukan defleksi pada lesi enukleasi dan kuretase. Pada bulan kedua perawatan tindakan tersebut diulangi dan dilakukan pemeriksaan histopatologis. Tindakan tersebut diulang pada bulan kelima dan diulang kembali setiap tiga bulan sampai dinyatakan terbebas dari sel tumor. Kesimpulan. Telah dilakukan dredging pada penderita rekuren ameloblastoma dengan hasil cukup memuaskan dan dilakukan pengamatan yang berlanjut. Background. Ameloblastoma can destruct the facial bones both the maxilla and mandible. The appearance of recurrent tumor is occured if the tumor is not totally removed. The resection of the affected bone is the common treatment of the tumor. These treatment lead complications such as malocclusion, abnormaldental and jaws development especially in children and adolescents, aesthetic problems, and psychological depressions. Therefore, the alternative treatment of it tumor is dredging method. Objection. This case report describe that dredging method treatment on recurrent ameloblastoma on male patient aged twenty seven years old, can eliminate patients’s psychological depressions. Case. Male patient aged twenty seven years old has a lump problem in mouth, painless, and has progressive enlargement, asymmetry on the right face, no change in skin color. Patients admitted to surgery seven years ago. On intra oral examination found a lump in the mandible in buccal area of the tooth 42 to 46. On palpation examination, there were fluctuations, mild pain and normal color mucosa. The panoramic photograph was found radiolucent area with clear boundaries of the region 42 to 46 by engaging aspect of teeth 42 and 43. The results of hispathology examination assessed a unicystic amelobastoma follicular type. Treatment. Dredging method was done by performing enucleation and consecutive curettage. Second month after the first treatment, the enucleation and the curettage was repeated then need histopathological examination. The treatment was repeated again in fifth month after the first treatment repeated every three months until histopathological examination declared free of tumor cells. Conclusion. Dredging has been performed on two patients with ameloblastoma with satisfactory results and continued observation.

Lymphangioma localized to the bones of the skull base is rare. The authors report herein the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with lymphangioma of the bone, localized to the skull base and leading to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea with meningitis. Neuroimaging demonstrated lytic destruction with a cyst in the right middle skull base. The patient was successfully treated with resection of the tumor and prevention of CSF leakage. Histopathological examination revealed a lymphangioma. An enlarging lymphangioma can lead to bone destruction. A differential diagnosis of a lytic lesion for a cyst at the skull base is important for proper case management.

Primary nasopharyngeal mycobacteriosis is a rare disease. We present a case in which skull base bone erosion appeared and was alleviated during the course of the treatment. Bone complications occur in osteoarticular mycobacteriosis, but their occurrence in primary nasopharyngeal mycobacteriosis has not been reported. A 77-year-old immunocompromised Asian woman presented with a right occipitotemporal headache. An ulcerative mass covered with a thick yellowish discharge was found in the roof and posterior walls of the right nasopharynx. Because histopathological examination indicated the presence of mycobacterial infection, we began using antituberculosis medication for the treatment because of the possibility of primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis. However, this was followed by glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve paralysis. Computed tomography (CT) showed a diffuse enhancing mucosal irregularity in the nasopharynx with bony erosion of the external skull base. Deep tissue biopsy was repeated to differentiate it from malignant lesions, and drainage of pus from the right nasopharynx was confirmed. Subsequently, the headache, neurological findings, and the yellowish discharge disappeared, and the bony erosion of the external skull base was alleviated. Surgical intervention should also be considered for drug-resistant mycobacteriosis. We concluded that mycobacteriosis should also be considered apart from carcinoma even if CT shows a diffuse enhancing mucosal irregularity with bone destruction in the nasopharynx.

Abstract Objective Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws. It is a less aggressive intraosseous cyst identified by an orthokeratinized epithelium. Case Report A 50-year-old male patient with the chief complaint of swelling in the anterior part of his face, and, intraorally, there was diffuse swelling in the palatal cortex. On panoramic radiography, there was a well-defined unilocular radiolucency on the right side of the maxilla and palatal cortical expansion, and thinning of the buccal and palatal cortexes was observed. The histopathological examination revealed a pathologic cyst that was lined by a thick orthokeratinized epithelium. Therefore, the diagnosis was orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst. Conclusion The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst displays characteristic clinical, histopathological, and biological features that differ significantly from those of keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT), but it has a better prognosis and lower recurrence rate. Thus, other radiolucent lesions of the jaws, including keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT), must be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF), one of the fibroosseous lesions is an uncommon clinical entity and involving both jaw is even rarer. Here, we present the case of a 15-year-old female patient with synchronous occurrence of JOF in the right sided maxilla and in the periapical area of mandibular right premolar molar region. After the clinical, radiographical and histopathological examination, the surgical treatment was carried out and the patient was kept under long term follow up. Owning to its aggressive local behaviour and high recurrence, early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and long term regular follow up are of prime importance.

Swellings of the head and neck region present great difficulty in accurate diagnosis as well as proper management. Swelling associated with the maxilla and mandible has a tendency to be provisionally diagnosed as orofacial space infections, which is the most common cause for acute swelling in this region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasonogram and computed tomography can be used in supporting diagnosis. It usually occurs due to the process of lymphocyte-induced cystic ductular dilatation and the confirmatory diagnosis is always made postoperatively by histopathological examination. The mainstay in the treatment of a lymphoepithelial cyst remains the surgical approach, which includes complete enucleation of the cyst along with total excision of the involved salivary gland. Here we present an interesting case of swelling in the right submandibular region which was provisionally diagnosed as submandibular space infection, but later proven histopathologically as a lymphoepithelial cyst of the submandibular gland.

Fibrous Dysplasia (FD) is a developmental disorder of bone that can affect one bone (monostotic type) or multiple bones (polyostotic type). The disease can be associated with hyperpigmentation and endocrinological disorders. In general, FD is found in teenagers, in the second decade of life. It often involves the long bones, craniofacial bones, ribs and pelvis. Approximately 30% of monostotic FD (MFD) lesions are found in the cranial, rather facial bones. It frequently appears in the posterior region of the jaw bone and is usually unilateral. The etiology of FD is not clear but even so genetic predisposition is suspected. The diagnosis is based on radiological and histopathological examination. We present an unusual case of symptomatic FD. A 15-year-old female patient was admitted to the clinic, complaining gradually increased swelling on her left side of the mandible one year ego with severe and unusual pain at related region. The bony enlargement was extending from median mandible to the crestal marginal level. Surgical shaving and recountering of mandible through the delicate preservation of the mental nerve in the left side of mandible was carried out. The aim of this report is to present the conservative treatment as sufficient treatment modality for the treatment of FD during puberty. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.3.14 How to cite this:Kaynak BA.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a condition in which normal bone marrow is replaced by an abnormal proliferation of new fibrous connective tissue. Female patient, white, 20 years old, attended the dental clinic reporting a slow increase in volume in the right mandible region over the last 5 years. She was examined by imaging: the panoramic X-ray revealed a lesion with the appearance of ground glass while the cone-beam computed tomography showed an extensive lesion in the region of the right hemimandible. The histopathological examination was compatible with fibrous dysplasia. Bone gammagraphy was indicated, plus an endocrinological study to eliminate polyostotic forms, which produced a negative result. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the right hemimandible was diagnosed. Conservative surgery was carried out and after 1 year recurrence of the tumour was observed. We may conclude that conservative surgery might not be the best choice for treatment for monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the mandible and that other options must be considered, such as radical surgery or the use of bisphosphonates. In our study, we may also conclude that it is very important to explain to the patient the possibility of recurrence of the lesion and the need for monitoring with periodic imaging studies.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
