Bone neoplasms Flashcards
Central Ossifying Fibroma comes from where
PDL firbroblast
Central Ossifying Fibroma confused with what in the past
focal cementosseos dysplasia
Central Ossifying Fibroma found in which region and in who?
30-40s adult females
molar premolar region
Central Ossifying Fibroma radiographic characteristics
well circumscribed radiolucency with central opacity
can range from mostly radiolucent and radiodense in the middle
Central Ossifying Fibroma clinical appearance
asymmpotmatic swelling
facial deformation
root divergence
Central Ossifying Fibroma biopsy
seperates from host bone easily in one piece.
Central Ossifying Fibroma histology
Cellular fibrous connective tissue with calcified trabeculae/spherules resembling cellular cementum or woven bone
Similar histology to fibrous dysplasia
Central Ossifying Fibrom trt
enucleation
Central Ossifying Fibrom prognosis
very good, low recurrence
Osteoma histology
normal bone with or without marrow
Osteoma what is it and where
benign osseous tumor
primary craniofacial bones (paranasal sinus)
and mandible (body and condylar region)
Osteoma clinical
painless, slow growing
Gardner Syndrome what kind of diseas
genetic
1:8,000- 1:16,000 births
APC gene, chromosome 5
Gardner Syndrome main characteristics
multiple osteomas of the facial bones.
epidermoid cysts
desmoid tumors
Gardner Syndrome teeth problems
may see impacted supernumeray teeth
Gardner Syndrome radiographically
may resemble florid cemento- osseous dysplasia or osteitis deformans
Gardner Syndrome most significant aspect of the syndrome
development of precancerous polyps of the colon
Gardner Syndrome precancerous poly problems…
50% of patients develop adenocarcinoma of the colon by 30 years of age (approaches 100% by 5th decade)
Gardner Syndrome management
– Prophylactic colectomy
– Removal of problematic cysts and osteomas
– Removal of impacted teeth/odontomas with prosthodontic work as needed
– Genetic counseling

Central Giant Cell Granuloma
benign lesion of the jaw,
neoplasm or reactive process???
(use to be called reactive giant cell)
Central Giant Cell Granuloma affects who most
60% under 30 years old
female
Central Giant Cell Granuloma found where
mandible (70%), anterior, can cross midline
Central Giant Cell Granuloma radiographically
unilocular when small, multilocular when larger. LARGE radiolucency
Central Giant Cell Granuloma histo
cellular granulation tissue with numerous benign multinucleated giant cells
RBC extravasation and hemosiderin deposits are common
