Q

Benign bone neoplasia

A

Asymptomatic

Slow growth – displaces teeth and expands the cortex of bone

Symmetrical

Does not metastasize

Corticated rim

(Expanded cortex –> slow pressure: osteoclasts remove bone and signal to osteoblasts to lay down new bone)

Altered teeth – blue/brown opalescent teeth, premature pulpal obliteration, Class III malocclussion (simmilar to dentinogenesis imperfecta)

Hearing loss

Long bone and spine deformitites

Joint hyperextensibility

Xrays: Osteopenia (low bone density), Bowing, Wormian bone of skull
