[Auto- and homoplastic grafts in the treatment of osteolytic lesions].

Based on 32 cases of neoplastic and degenerative lesions, the indications and limits of auto- and alloplastic grafts are discussed. Grafting was successful in all of the cases, obtaining excellent clinical and radiographic results. An auto graft may be used to more rapidly fill cavities which remain after curettage has been performed, but the limited availability of grafts, the need for a second operation, and the weakening of the donor site encourage us to develop more practical methods of removal and preservation of the allograft.

[Osteitis condensans ilii: therapy and diagnostic problems. Presentation of a case study].

The authors describe 4 female patients with Osteitis Condensans Ilii (OCI): 3 of them were pluriparous, ranging 32-36 years of age; while the remaining was nulliparous and 20 years old, with a previous trauma suffered in the iliac bone. Due to the inefficacy of the medical and physical treatment, two patients underwent surgical resection of the osteitic bone; then followed by a 45 days cast immobilization and a 3-4 months with restricted load. The other 2 patients were successfully treated with Indomethacin (a 100 mg/day cycle for a month, followed by a maintainance cycle with 300 mg/day for 3 months). The diagnostic aspects are then discussed, pointing out that absence of any peripheric neurologic damage, normal bone scan, female sex and younger age are the relevant characteristics for the diagnosis of OCI.

Multicentric giant cell tumor with viral-like inclusions associated with Paget's disease of bone: a case treated by steroid therapy.

We report a case of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) associated with Paget's disease unsuccefully treated with radiotherapy for some years but dramatically reduced in size with high dose of dexamethasone within few days. An ultrastructural study showed intranuclear virus-like inclusions in the multinucleated giant cells. The patient was then switched to prednisone plus diclofenac and he is still in almost complete remission after two years. The patient was from Avellino area, a small town in Southern Italy.
