Published: July 2004

Today, osteitis fibrosa cystica is seldom present in primary hyperparathyroidism while it is mainly observed in uraemic osteodystrophy. We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman who was found to have huge bone cysts due to osteitis fibrosa cystica in the long bones. A parathyroid adenoma was identified and removed. Coeliac disease and Turner syndrome were diagnosed. Metabolic bone disease due to secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in coeliac disease; however, osteitis fibrosa cystica has not yet been described.

Fibrous dysplasia is a slow-progressing benign condition characterized by abnormal bone formation that leads to some skeletal disorders. Although some of the fibrous dysplasia have unusual clinical and radiographic features that can lead to a challenging diagnosis, most lesions reveal an expansile bone defect due to cortex thinning. This report presented a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of a 43-year-old woman with involvement of the right maxillary jaw and sinuses, which indicated unusual histopathological features.

Benign Bone Tumors of the Hand: Beyond Enchondromas.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

November 2024

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY (Albanese, Lynch, and Damron), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA (Eswaran).

Beyond enchondromas, the most common bone tumors of the hand, there are numerous less common benign bone tumors and mimickers with which orthopaedic and hand surgeons should be familiar. These include other benign cartilage tumors, cystic lesions, osteogenic tumors, giant cell tumor, and fibrous dysplasia. Particularly unique lesions include bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora lesion), florid reactive periostitis, turret exostosis (acquired osteochondroma), giant cell reparative granuloma (solid aneurysmal bone cyst), and epidermoid cyst.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD), caused by activating mutations of GNAS, is a skeletal disorder with considerable clinicopathological heterogeneity. Although prevalent mutations such as R201C and R201H dominate in FD, a limited number of rare mutations, including R201S, R201G, and Q227L, have been documented. The scarcity of information concerning these uncommon mutations motivates our investigation, seeking to enhance comprehension of this less-explored subgroup within FD.
