Black and White Flashcards
Benign neoplasms of bone
asymptomatic grows slowly by expansion displaces teeth and expands cortex symmetrical doesn't metastasize
Malignant neoplasms of bone
symptomatic grows quickly invades and destroys structures (cortex) asymmetrical ragged/poor defined margins lays down bone outside of cortex can metastasize
Focal osteoporotic marrow defect
hematopoietic marrow produces radiolucency
ill defined borders with fine trabeculations
not pathology
asymptomatic
diagnose with incisional biop
not associated with a hematological disorder
Focal osteoporotic marrow defect F
75% F
Focal osteoporotic marrow defect location
posterior mandible (no jaw expansion)
Idiopathic osteosclerosis
focal area radiopaque with unknown cause
diagnose with history, clinical feathers and radiograph
biop only if symptoms, growth, or cortical expansion
Idiopathic osteosclerosis differentials
condensing osteitis (associated with infection)
focal cemnto-osseous dysplasia (with radiolucent rim)
cemntoblastoma (fused with tooth)
Condensing osteitis
focal sclerosing osteomyelitis
local area of bone associated with apices of teeth with pulpitis
associated with inflammation is necessary for diagnosis
Central giant cell granuloma
non-neoplastic
before age 30
most asymptomatic, some have pain, paresthesia, and perforation of cortical plate
Central giant cell granuloma F/M
F>M
Central giant cell granuloma location
Mand > Max
common in anterior jaw and crosses midline
Central giant cell granuloma tx
curettage with 20% recurrence, > in young patient
more curettage if recurrence
long term prognosis is good without risk of metastasis
Traumatic bone cyst
simple bone cyst asymptomatic 20% have swelling ages 10-20 scalloping: doesnt involve roots radiographic findings suggestive but not diagnostic (surgical exploration) cyst but NOT epithelium lined
Traumatic bone cyst location
mand
Traumatic bone cyst tx
surgery
curette walls to rule out thin walled lesions
little/no tissue obtained
rapid obliteration of defect and bone fills in
radiographs until resolved
excellent prognosis
Aneurysmal bone cyst
intraosseous accumulation of blood filled spaces surrounded by connective tissue
not a true cyst!
etiology unclear
swelling that develops rapidly
Aneurysmal bone cyst location
mostly long bones, jaw rare
~20 years in posterior mand
Aneurysmal bone cyst F/M
F=M
Fibro-osseous lesions
diverse group of processes where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue containing mineralized product
microscopically similar, need clinical and radiographic findings to diagnose
Benign fibro-osseous lesions
fibrous dysplasia
cemnto-osseous dysplasia
ossifying fibroma
Cemento-osseous dysplasia types
in tooth bearing areas of jaw
focal (caucasians)
periapical (african americans)
florid (african americans)
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia
single site of involvement
~ 40 yrs
asymptomatic lesions < 1.5 cm
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia location
posterior mand (1st molar)
Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia
multiple foci usually
~ 40 yrs
teeth vital
Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia location
periapical of anterior mandible (canine to canine)
Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia F/M
90% F > 70% african american
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia
multiple foci not limited to anterior mand
middle-aged older adults
can be asymptomatic
usually bilateral and symmetrical
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia F/M
90% F
