An account is given of the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic, features of a special form of fibro-osseous lesion of the mandible. The material consists of fifteen cases (eleven females and four males). Two cases are described in detail. Together with Case 1, a probably unique series of radiographic pictures is presented, showing the development of the disease.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in the Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor Syndrome.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab

Establishing genotype-phenotype correlations in disorders of hereditary endocrine neoplasia is important for clinical screening, genetic counseling, prognostication, surveillance, and surgical strategy, and may also provide clues about disease pathogenesis. Important genotype-phenotype correlations are recognized, for example, in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A. The presence of such correlations has been less clear in other familial endocrine disorders associated with primary hyperparathyroidism including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), and the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT).

Brain Sci
November 2024
Department of Neurological Surgery, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA.
Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is often difficult for skull base surgeons to address. FD arises due to the abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts, ultimately resulting in immature osseous tissue replacing normal cancellous bone. When the skull base is involved, it can result in cranial nerve compression.

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion primarily involving the mandible and maxilla, with a higher prevalence in middle-aged women of African or Asian descent. This article presents a case of mandibular FOD complicated by secondary infection, emphasizing clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies. The unique radiographic features of FOD necessitate careful differential diagnosis to prevent misdiagnosis with other jaw lesions.

Objective: To assess the sclerostin, β-catenin, and tryptase expression in fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaws.
Subjects And Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for these proteins on FOL and non-lesional bone. The sclerostin-positive cells were scored from 0 (no expression) to 3 (high expression).
Fibro-osseous lesions of the sinonasal tract: a contemporary review.
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) are benign, slow-growing lesions that are often incidentally discovered in the sinonasal cavity. They may necessitate surgical resection in patients with postobstructive sinusitis, or in cases of cranial nerve and orbital compression. We examine the recent advancements in otolaryngology relating to diagnostic characteristics and treatments for FOL, with emphasis on new technologies to improve outcomes and reduce recurrence.
