Fibro-Osseous and Giant Cell Lesions Flashcards
What is a fibrous-osseous lesion?
Lesion where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue in which abnormal bone is laid down
What are the stages radiographically in fibro-osseous lesion?
Initially will be radiolucent lesion as bone is lost
Then will become classic mixed lesion as abnormal bone is laid down
What is classic radiographic appearance of fibre-osseous lesion?
Mixed radiopaque and Lucent lesion
What are 4 types of fibro-osseous lesions?
RIDN
Reactive
Idopathic
Developmental
Neoplastic
Give example of reactive fibro-osseous lesion?
Cemento osseous dysplasia
Give example of idiopathic fibro-osseous lesion?
Paget’s
Give example of developmental fibro-osseous lesion?
Fibrous dysplasia
Give example of neoplastic fibro-osseous lesion?
Ossifying fibroma
What is ossifying fibroma?
Benign neoplastic fibro-osseous lesion
What is ossifying fibroma composed of?
Benign neoplasm composed of fibrous tissue w/ spicules/ islands or cementicles of bone
Who does ossifying fibroma affect?
Average 35yrs - 20-50yrs
Females > males
Where does ossifying fibroma affect?
Mandible most common site
Often premolar/ molar region
What would you expect to see from the histology of ossifying fibroma?
Lesion have well-defined margin and be separate from cortical plate
Fibrous tissue
Pattern of bone and cellularity will be variable
Pt management of those with ossifying fibroma?
Conservative enulceation
Resection
Will ossifying fibroma recur?
Low recurrence rate
What is fibrous dysplasia?
Developmental disorder of the bone
How is fibrous dysplasia caused?
Mutation GNAS1 - not inherited
What is the frequency of fibrous dysplasia affecting H&N?
25%
Who does fibrous dysplasia affect?
15-30yrs
Males = females
What see in fibrous dysplasia?
Painless smooth enlargement/ swelling
Where is most common to see fibrous dysplasia in H&N?
Maxilla
What see radiograph of fibrous dysplasia?
Poorly demarcated radiopacity
Strippled ‘orange peel’ - bone look granular which merges w/ bone
What see in histology of fibrous dysplasia?
Irregular strands of bone interconnecting
Large amount fibrous tissue
What are the clinical variants of fibrous dysplasia?
Monostotic - one bone involved
Polyostotic - multiple bones involved
Most common sites for monostotic F.D?
Ribs and femur
What proportion of those w/ monostotic F.D will have H&N lesions?
25%
