Division of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO.

Published: April 2015

Many diseases result in polyostotic bone lesions including benign entities, benign entities with malignant potential, intermediate entities, and malignant entities. Imaging plays a key role in identifying complications of these disorders, most importantly malignant transformation of a benign lesion. The most common polyostotic bone lesions are reviewed and examples of malignant transformation are highlighted.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare condition in which normal spongy and cortical bone is replaced by non-neoplastic fibrous tissue, leading to weakened bone matrix and increased risk of pathological fractures and deformities. Treating these deformities poses a significant challenge for surgeons. While various cases of surgical stabilization and limb lengthening using intramedullary nails have been reported, there is limited evidence on the use of Motorized Intramedullary Limb-Lengthening Nails (MILLNs) in FD patients.

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.

This study explores FD/MAS patient's perceptions about their disease and its impact on their quality of life. We have evaluated quality of life (QoL) in French Fibrous Dysplasia/MacCune-Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS) patients using a qualitative approach with focus groups to explore perceptions, symptoms and limitations associated with FD/MAS and a quantitative method with the Short Form-36 (SF36) to quantify QoL. Focus groups revealed the heterogeneity of FD forms and allowed for understanding the reasons of reduced QoL.

Article Synopsis
  • *The systematic literature review from 2010-2023 revealed that management strategies for CFD must be personalized, with asymptomatic patients monitored and those with symptoms possibly needing medical or surgical intervention.
  • *The review emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to CFD treatment, as well as the need for ongoing monitoring due to potential complications and the risk of malignant transformation.
