Monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the temporal bone: a late prehistoric occurrence.

Fibrous dysplasia, characterized by benign osteolytic and osteoblastic lesions may involve one or several bones. Recent investigators have suggested that it may be merely a phase of what have previously been thought to be several different bone diseases. Isolated fibrous dysplasia in the temporal bone is infrequent. Several reports of this disease have appeared in the literature of paleopathology, but none involved only the temporal bone. Monostotic involvement of the right temporal bone was discovered in the skull of an adult male recovered from an archeological site dating from the Late Mississippian period (A.D. 1,350-A.D. 1,650). It will provide an opportunity for preliminary documentation of the antiquity of this disease in the southeastern portion of the United States.

[Bisphosphonates and bone remodeling: effectiveness in Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia and osteoporosis].

Paget's disease of bone, bone fibrous dysplasia and osteoporosis are characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, and frequently imply intervention of orthopedists. Recent significant medical therapeutics improvements have been obtained with the use of bisphosphonates. Theses drugs decrease bone remodeling. In Paget's disease, bisphosphonates relieve bone pain, allow lytic areas refilling and decrease complications risk with normal bone formation. In fibrous dysplasia, bone pain is alleviated, osteolytic areas are refilled and cortices are widened. In postmenopausal osteoporosis, bisphosphonates increase bone mineral density, and reduce very significantly the subsequent risk of vertebral, femoral and lower forearm fractures. Bisphosphonates are a breakthrough in Paget's disease of bone, fibrous dysplasia of bone and osteoporosis.

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone with associated lymphadenopathy.

Fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone is a very unusual condition and its association with an abnormal lymph node has not been previously reported. Although it is benign condition causing conductive deafness, cholesteatoma may develop insidiously as illustrated by this case. We recommend regular long term follow up and surgical exploration if a changing clinical picture suggests the possibility of complications.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the orbit associated with fibrous dysplasia.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare but recognized osseous lesion of the orbit. We report the presentation, treatment, and postoperative course of an orbital aneurysmal bone cyst in a patient with McCune-Albright syndrome. To our knowledge, this report represents the first description of aneurysmal bone cyst of the orbit in a patient with fibrous dysplasia. Although visual loss in patients with fibrous dysplasia is most commonly due to narrowing of the optic canal, aneurysmal bone cyst should be considered in a patient with fibrous dysplasia who presents with decreasing vision in the face of a rapidly expanding orbital mass. The treatment in this case was drainage and debridement with prompt resolution. Although not necessary in this case, an alternative treatment includes packing with bone chips. Radiation is usually avoided because of the risk of iatrogenically induced sarcoma.

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.

Fibrous dysplasia, a bone dysplasia of unknown pathogenesis, may be either monostotic or polyostotic. Not only is the femur involved in nearly all cases of the polyostotic form, but a distinct unilateral predilection is often noted. The following case illustrates the classic polyostotic changes.

[Sarcomas occurring on fibrous dysplasia of bone. Apropos of a complex hemimelic form, with a review of the literature].

Bone formation by the sarcoma is exclusive, without any cartilaginous component; the pattern of the tumour being sometimes quite similar to dysplasia lesional tissue. It seems to be a tissular transformation rather than an unicellular sarcomatous change. Among the etiological factors, except the part of the radiotherapy, periostal changes enhanced by a surgical procedure with acrylic cement in the femoral shaft are perhaps contributing to the development of a sarcoma whose pattern is quite particular.

Fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone presenting as an osteoma of the external auditory canal.

The involvement of the temporal bones by fibrous dysplasia is uncommon. This disease is usually manifested by a conductive hearing loss. We describe a case of fibrous dysplasia misdiagnosed as an osteoma in a young man. This case emphasizes the need to suspect fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone as the cause of bony lesions in the external auditory canal in young patients.

[Sex hormones in fibrous dysplasia of the facial bone--an immunohistological study].

Fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones frequently occurs in the maxilla around the time of puberty and becomes inactive when skeletal growth is completed. A case of fibrous dysplasia of the maxilla and sphenoidal-temporal bone in a 19 year-old male was studied, in terms of the presence of estradiol, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. This case underwent partial surgical resection, for cosmetic deformity, of the maxillary tumor which, however, relapsed to preoperative size within three weeks. Estradiol and testosterone were strongly positive and dihydrotestosterone was slightly positive in the tumor cells. Sex hormones were apparently present in the tumor cells and exerted a strong influence on the growth of the fibrous dysplasia.

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of temporal bone: report of two cases and review of its characteristics.

Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disorder of unknown origin characterized by slow, progressive replacement of bone by abnormal proliferative isomorphic fibrous tissue. The disease was first described by McCune and Bruch in 1937. Craniofacial involvement is found in only 10% of cases of the monostotic variety, while temporal bone involvement is rare. We report herein two cases of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving temporal bone and briefly review the clinical implications and management of the disease.
