An unusual case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia-A case report.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous lesion where normal bone and marrow is replaced with fibrous tissue, resulting in formation of bone that is weak and prone to expansion. It is classified according to the number of affected bones, and its association to endocrine alterations, that is, monostotic (80-85%), polyostotic forms (20-30%), and Albright's disease. Involvement of two or more bones is termed as polyostotic FD, a relatively uncommon condition.

An Immunohistochemical Study of HIF-1 Alpha in Oral Epithelial Dysplasia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

To evaluate and compare the expression of HIF-1 Alpha (HIF-1α) in oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and various grades of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). 30 cases each of OEDand OSCC were stained with HIF-1α antibody. Quantification of HIF-1α positive cellswas carried out and the data was statistically analysed.
