Management of Primary Non-Aggressive Mandibular Giant Cell Tumor: A 14 Years' Experience

2011

Giant cell tumor is a rare non-odontogenic lesion that represents approximately 4-5% of all primary bone tumors. Such lesions derive their actual name from the constant presence of numerous giant cells, similar to osteoclasts .All the giant cell tumors hystorically is treated with curettage. Because this conservative approach is often associated with a recurrence rate of up to 70% , aggressive resection has become the standard practice. Unfortunately ,recurrence after wide resection is about 7%. The aim of the study is to describe the 14 years single institution experience with management of primary non-aggressive giant cell tumor of the jaws bone.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw related to everolimus and bisphosphonate: a unique case report?

2013

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but serious lesion of the jaw, characterized mainly by exposed necrotic bone;it is related to various drugs, usually used for treating patients with advanced malignancies. Drugs implicated in ONJ are: nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs), denosumab, anti-angiogenic drugs (e.g bevacizumab, sunitinib,sorafenib) and the selective mammalian target of rapamycin mTOR, everolimus. Previous data regarding the combining of NBPs with antiangiogenic agents conflict with some reports (indicating a similar risk of ONJ compared with the use of NBPs alone1); other reports show significantly higher rates (18% vs 1% with NBPs alone) of the incidence of ONJ2.

Dzieje Kościoła katolickiego w powiecie wieluńskim (1918–1939)

2021

Zakończenie I wojny światowej stało się początkiem nowego okresu w dziejach nie tylko narodów, ale także społeczności Kościoła katolickiego w wymiarze regionalnym. Wówczas rozpoczęła się jego nieskrępowana działalność, która była ukierunkowana na odbudowę duszpasterstwa i szeroko rozumianą pracę społeczną. W tym okresie w niezmienionych granicach powiatu wieluńskiego znajdowały się cztery dekanaty (bolesławiecki, praszkowski, wieluński i wieruszowski) oraz trzy parafie z dekanatu brzeźnickiego. W 1918 r. łącznie na tym terytorium znajdowało się 39 parafii. Rozwój demograficzny i religijny spowodował powstanie w okresie międzywojennym kolejnych 13 placówek duszpasterskich. Pod względem admin…

Spontaneous bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the left hemi-mandible: Similarities with phossy jaw.

2013

Intravenous bisphosphonates (BP) play a key role in the treatment of bone metastases. As a long-term side effects BP, a form of avascular osteonecrosis of the jaw has been reported. Although, invasive oral local procedures are often present in clinical history of patients suffering from bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ), about up to 50% of BRONJ are spontaneous. We report a case of a 68-year-old female with a spontaneous wide bone sequestration of the left mandibular body onset after infusion of zoledronic acid for 18 cycles for osseous metastasis due to metastatic anaplastic thyroidal carcinoma. Surprisingly the clinical aspects of the patient initially reminded us …

American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons position paper: Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws-2009 update: the need to ref…

2009

With reference to the 2009 update of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons posi- tion paper, Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BRONJ), a relevant modification to the previous classification has been made and a new stage (0) added. The latter stage has been defined as “patients with no clinical evidence of necrotic bone, but who present with nonspecific symptoms or clinical and radiographic findings . . .” and the need for various clinical and radiologic aspects in defining this condi- tion was confirmed. .

Stafne's bone cavity: An unusual case with involvement of the buccal and lingual mandibular plates

2014

Lingual mandibular bone defects, also known as Stafne bone cavity (SC), are unilateral asymptomatic radiolucencies, generally seen in the mandibular angle, below the inferior alveolar canal. Although panoramic radiographies normally offer enough information to make a correct diagnosis, additional studies are often required, especially in atypical cases. The present report describes an atypical presentation of a Stafne’s bone cavity in a 78 years-old male patient. In this particular case, an asymptomatic and radiolucid lesion was observed during a routine dental examination. The computed tomography (CT) showed an involvement of both lingual and buccal mandibular plates producing a tunnel-lik…

Simple bone cyst : a case report

2021

Background Simple bone cysts (SBC) are intraosseous cysts devoid of an epithelial lining, asymptomatic and appearing in the jaw. In general, SBCs are discovered incidentally and tooth displacement or pathological fractures are very unusual. Material and methods This study reports a 16 years old man that presented an asymtomatic radiolucent unilocular lesion in the right ascending ramus. Differencial diagnosis included odontogenic keratocyst and dentigerous cyst. One surgical intervention was performed and consisted in the curettage of the bone walls. The lesion and some small samples of the bone wall were sent for the anatomopathological study. Results The anatomopathological exam confirmed…
