10. Fibrous Dysplasia and Pagets Flashcards
Three types of Fibrous Dysplasia
- Monostotic fibrous dysplasia 70% ~age 14
- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia 27% ~ age 11
- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with endocrine abnormalities
(McCune-Albright Syndrome) ~3% ~ age 8
Slowly progressing benign disorder of fibro-osseous tissue throughout life replacing normal bone tissue
Fibrous Dysplasia
“Great Imitators of Bone Disease”
Fibrous Dysplasia and Paget’s disease
Polyostotic FD may have
bowing deformities and pathologic fx
Shepherd’s Crook deformity and Leg length discrepancy
Polyostotic FD
Enlargement and deformity of cranial
and facial bones
Leontiasis Ossea
Dark brown pigmented skin macules due to increased melanin in epidermis
Café au Lait Spots (Coast of Maine appearance)
ground-glass matrix
Fibrous Dysplasia
ground-glass matrix is
due to lack of
normal
cortical and
trabecular organization
most common etiology of benign rib lesions
Fibrous dysplasia
Main Pathologic Process of Café au lait spots is proliferation of
Melanocytes
Higher incidence of pathologic fx and Shepherd’s Crook deformity
Polyostotic FD
polyostotic FD with skin
pigmentation and precocious sexual development in Females
McCune-Albright Syndrome
occasional increase in alkaline
phosphatase and osteocalcin
Fibrous dysplasia
Multilocular cystic lesions with asymmetric distribution in mandible and maxilla and lower face swelling
cherubism
“Eyes raised to heaven attitude”
cherubism
Familial multilocular cystic disease of the jaws
cherubism
Bone is replaced by abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue and poorly formed bony trabeculae of woven bone
Fibrous Dysplasia
Monostotic FD is mc in
ribs and proximal femur
Radiolucent Loculated, trabeculated, Ground glass or smokey appearance and Spares subarticular surface of bone
Monostotic FD
Thick sclerotic margin in Monostotic FD, aka a
rind of sclerosis
Symptoms of Polyostotic FD are usually from
bowing deformities and pathologic fx
Incomplete septa or ridges in Polyostotic FD result in
loculation of lesions
along convex surface of deformed cortex
Pseudofractures
may occur in areas of pathologic fx nonunion
Pseudoarthrosis
may look like FD in skull
