Bone Neoplasms Flashcards
Uncommon Benign neoplasms of PDL or odontogenic origin
Central Ossifying Fibroma
What is the most common region and age to see Central Ossifying Fibroma
Mandibular molar/PM region, 3rd to 4th decade
What are the clinical signs seen with a Central Ossifying Fibroma
Swelling if large
What are the radiographic signs of a Central Ossifying Fibroma
Well circumscribed radiolucency w/ variable central opacity
Histopathologic features of a Central Ossifying Fibroma
Cellular fibrous CT, mineralized trabeculae and spherules of material resembling cellular cementum or woven bone (similar to fibrous dysplasia)
Treatment and prognosis for a Central Ossifying Fibroma
Enucleation (one large mass shelled out), excellent
What syndrome are there multiple jaw lesions w/ histopathologic features consistent w/ Central Ossifying Fibroma
Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome
Benign osseous tumor usually affecting membranous bone
Osteoma
What are the clinical features of an Osteoma
Painless and enlarging (tori and exostoses are histopathologically identical but do not continue growth so not classified as an Osteoma), composed of dense bone
Where are the 2 places an Osteoma may arise
Bone surface or in the bone (enostosis)
What is a common gnathic lesion for an Osteoma
Paranasal sinus involvement
What age and location are osteomas usually detected in the jaw?
Adults, mandibular condyle (limits opening, midline deviates towards unaffected side) and body (lingual to molar and PM)
Radiographic appearance of an Osteoma (end/periosteal)
Circumsribed sclerotic mass
- Peri- Uniformly sceloritc or sclerotic periphery w/ central trabeculation
- End- Similar to condensing osteitis
What as an uncommon AD syndrome charatcterized by osteomas of the facial bones
Gardner syndrome
What are GI issues associated with Gardner Syndrome and what percent of patients develop what cancer?
Precancerous polyps in the colon (2nd decade of life), 50% develop adenocarcinoma of the colon by 30
What are the dental symptoms associated with Gardner Syndrome (2 %’s)
Abnormal teeth, epidermoid cysts, desmoid tumors
- 35% imacted supernumerary teeth
- 10% odontomas
How is Gardner Syndrome treated
Prohpylactic colectomy, removal of cysts and osteomas, guarded prognosis
Benign lesion of the jaw, which some pathologists consider the same a the Giant Cell Tumor of bone (long bones)
Central Giant Cell Granuloma
What age, sex, and oral location are Central Giant Cell Granulomas most common
- 2nd to 4th decade
- 2:1 Female
- Mandible often crosses midline
Clinical and radiographic symtptoms (small and large)
- Often asymptomatic (can become expansile)
- Small- uni
- Large- multilocular
What lesion shows proliferation of vascular granulation tissues w/ numerous mutinucleated Giant cells
Central Giant Cell Granuloma
