fibre-osseous lesions of the jaw Flashcards
classification dysplastic
- Fibrous dysplasia

- Florrid cemento-osseous dysplasia
- Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia
- Hereditary
fibrous dysplasia
developmental and sporadic condition
classification idiopathic
Paget’s disease of the bone
classification neoplastic
cementoossifying fibroma
pathogenesis of fibrous dysplasia
Postzygotic mutation (occur in postnatal life) – GNAS1 gene
Replacement of normal bone by excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bone trabeculae
monostotic FD incidence
- 80-85% of all FD cases
- peak incidence: second decade of life
- no gender predilection
monoatomic FD presentation
- single lesion on a single bone
- painless, slow growing swelling
- tooth displacement may occur
- truly monostotic lesion in the mandible
craniofacial FD
unique to maxilla: single lesion involving multiple bones that are close in proximity
radiographic features - FD
- ground glass appearance
- poorly demarcated: “blends into surrounding bone”
- early lesion: radioluscent/mottled
radiographic features - FD - Mn
- expansion of lingual and buccal plates
- bulging of the inferior border
- superior displacement of the inferior alveolar canal
- narrowing of periodontal ligament space
- ill defined lamina dura
radiographic features - FD - Mx
- superior displacement of the Mx sinus floor
- obliteration of the Mx sinus
- increase in bone density
polyostotic FD pathogenesis
- GNAS1 gene mutation occurs in later stages of embryological development, effecting only skeletal progenitor cells
- when mutation occurs in undifferentiated stem cells early in embryonic life
=> melanocytes, osteoblasts and endocrine cells will carry the mutation
polystotic FD with cafe au last spots
Jaffe-Lichenstein syndrome
polystotic FD with cafe au last spots + endocrinopathies
Mcune-Albright syndrome
endocranopathies
- sexual precocity (most common)
- pituitary adenoma
- hyperthyroidism
mazabraud syndrome
FD and intramuscular myxomas associated with an increase risk of malignant transformation
clinical features of polystotic FD
- affects two on more bones
- facial asymmetry
- pathological fractures
- deformity
- hypophosphatemia
=> renal phosphate wasting
=> renal influences of circulating FGF23 produced by affected bone - cafe au lait spots:
irregular
well defined
unilateral macules
DDX: cafe au last spots of neurofibromatosis (smooth, regular borders)
polyostotic FD histopathological features
Irregular curvilinear thin trabeculae of woven & lamellar bone
Bone is metaplastic therefore no osteoblastic rimming
Cellular loosely arranged fibrous stroma
Calcified spherules/acellular calcified
deposits/psammomatoid bodies
Monotonous pattern of arrangement
Lesional bone fuses with normal bone at
the periphery
Jaw FD undergoes maturation unlike long bone FD resulting in both woven and lamella bone
treatment and prognosis
- stabilisation post skeletal maturation
- contouring for aesthetic reason and lesions that continue to grow
- bisphosphonate therapy
cement-osseous dysplasia pathogenesis
- tooth bearing areas of the jaw
- most common fibro-osseos lesion
- periodontal origin
- defect in bone remodelling
- hormonal
clinical features of focal FD
- single site of involvement
- female predilection
- mean age: 38 years
peak incidence: 3rd-6th decade of life - predominant site: mn posterior
- asymptomatic
- <1.5cm
- (e)edentulous areas
clinical features - periodical OD
- periapical region of the anterior Mn
- solitary/multiple
- female predilections
- 70% cases - Africans
- associated teeth are vital
- asymptomatic
- circumscribed radioluscent periapical tooth areas
- radioluscent => radioluscent opaque => radiopaque with a radioluscent rim
- self limiting
- <1cm
- no cortisol expansion
histopathological features of OD
- fragments of cellular – mesenchymal/ connective tie composed of fibroblasts and collagen fibres
- numerous blood vessels
- tabeculae or woven and lamellar bone
- cementum-like particles
- heterogeneity from lesion to lesion and field to field of the same lesion
- with maturation bone trabeculae thicken and resemble ginger roots
lobular masses of acellular and disorganised cement-osseous material
clinical features - florid OD
- multifocal involvement
- posterior mx and mn
often concurrent involvement of an mn - predominantly African women
- middle aged to older adults
- bilateral
- ussually symmetrical involvement
- most commonly all 4 quadrants involved
- asymptomatic/ symptomatic
- dull pain
- minimal cortisol expansion
