[Unusual case of hypercondensing malignant osteodysplasty: osteopetrosis].

Osteopetrosis, known also as Albers-Schonberg disease, is a genetic disorder causing a generalized sclerosis of the bones and the reduction of the marrow. The diagnosis is often secondary to pathologic processes and its usually observed through specific X-ray researches. The principal cause of osteopetrosis is to attribute to a deficit of bone resorption and remodelling. Osteomyelitis is a complication of osteopetrosis. The purpose of this article is based on several point: 1) to know the cause of osteopetrosis, then to classify and check it; 2) to present the case who did not respond to of a patient with osteopetrosis complicated by maxillary and phalanx osteomyelitis common therapies and give an accurate analysis.

[Cyst and pseudocyst of oral maxillo-facial region. Clinical and therapeutical considerations].

Oral and maxillo-facial cysts are very common lesions that show different clinical and pathological aspects. The surgical treatment of these lesions is conditioned by many factors such as the lesion dimension, the involvement of vascular and neurological structures, the presence of recoverable teeth into the cyctic area, the conditions of the patient. For these reasons surgical treatment guidelines may greatly diverge in the various cases. There are three different kinds of treatment: cystotomy (Partsch I), cystectomy (Partsch II) and a combination of the two reported surgical treatments: at first Partsch I and in a second time Partsch II. The authors present two cases of maxillo-facial cysts that are characterized by different clinical aspects: a follicular cyst in a male, nine years old, and a retention cyst located in the tongue of a young female. Follicular cyst is a very common lesion of maxillary bones related to an impacted tooth; retention cyst is a rare soft tissue pathology. The analysis of these so different cases permits to formulate many interesting observations about the main aspects of diagnosis, treatment and management of patients affected by maxillo-facial cysts.

[Hurthle cell neoplasm: our experience].

Hurthle cell neoplasm is a rare form of thyroid tumors, comprising from 1.5% to 10% of all tumors. Hurthle cell nodules are clinically indistinguishable from other nodular thyroid diseases. The histologic features of Hurthle cell neoplasm don't allow us to exactly distinguish benign nodules from malignant ones. Accurate histologic valutation is possible and necessary for a correct diagnosis and therapy of Hurthle cell tumors. The adenomas usually exhibit a follicular pattern; the carcinomas include a subset of Hurthle cell tumors with different biological behavior, including malignant follicular variants and papillary ones. The authors are in favour of total thyroidectomy for carcinomas and lobectomy plus isthectomy for adenomas; in case of carcinomas, the lymphadenectomy reduces the incidence of local relapse and is necessary in case of lymphnode involvement. Adjuvant radiation therapy is successful in preventing recurrences, in symptomatic metastates as palliative therapy and control recurrence of advanced resected tumors.

[Tooth heterotopy with endosinus localization].

Among the various cases of etherotophy, the only and multiple, that has observed, the Authors consider only a few among the significant ones and with endosinusal localization-after examining the probable mechanism patogenetic we pay attention to the necessity of an exact diagnostic judgement and on the opportunity of a precocious and exact treatment.
