Treatment of Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia of the Thoracic Spine with Intravenous Pamidronate: Result from 9 Months Follow Up

✓ The authors report the case of a 53-year-old woman with monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the thoracic spine. The patient presented with a 1-month history of pain in the thoracic spinal region. En bloc resection of the lesion was successfully performed via a transthoracic approach, and a histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. At 24-month follow-up examination, pain and vertebral instability were absent. The findings in this case illustrate that, although very rare, monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the thoracic spine should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal tumors. Although a consensus for management of this disease has not been achieved, the authors recommend radical removal of all involved bone as well as internal fixation or bone graft—assisted fusion to achieve long-term stabilization.

SummaryA 66-year-old man affected by polyostotic form of fibrous dysplasia in consequence of worsening of lower extremity bone pain aggravated by walking and concomitant increase of serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, was subjected first to a radionuclide study. Bone scan demonstrated a pathological uptake of the radiotracer in the craniofacial bones, right scapula, left and right posterior ribs, right hemipelvis and lower extremities confirming the diagnosis but establishing especially the extent of bone involvement, greater than expected on the basis of symptoms and X-ray findings, underlying the importance of nuclear medicine imaging in the assessment and follow-up of this rare disease.

Insight Into

Sinonasal organized hematomas (OHs) are rare lesions that primarily localize to the maxillary sinus. The rate of growth of these masses has not been described in the literature. We present a case of a 59-year-old gentleman with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia who presented with acute loss of vision in the left eye from an expanding OH of the sphenoid sinusitis. After expanded endonasal, transpterygoid approach and debulking, patient experienced significant vision improvement. Close follow-up imaging preoperatively allowed radiologic documentation of the rate of OH growth and this is presented in detail.
