Cranial osteomas: their classification and management. Report on a giant osteoma and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Cranial osteomas are regarded by some as very common; yet their classification, symptomatology, and management have been neglected. METHODS: We report on a giant enostotic convexity osteoma and have reviewed the medical literature. RESULTS: A new comprehensive classification for cranial osteomas is proposed: (1) intraparenchymal, (2) dural, (3) skull base, and (4) skull vault. The latter is in turn, subdivided into exostotic and enostotic variants. Three symptom producing enostotic convexity osteomas have been reported in the world literature. We also describe a giant enostotic skull vault osteoma and propose an original surgical technique used to successfully resect this unusual tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Most cranial osteomas are asymptomatic and need not be resected. Those that are symptomatic should be managed properly. Their excision, if nor properly performed, may lead to unforeseen cerebral complications.

Benign bone-forming lesions: osteoma, osteoid osteoma, and osteoblastoma. Clinical, imaging, pathologic, and differential considerations.

The benign bone lesions--osteoma, osteoid osteoma, and osteoblastoma--are characterized as bone-forming because tumor cells produce osteoid or mature bone. Osteoma is a slow-growing lesion most commonly seen in the paranasal sinuses and in the calvaria. When it occurs in the long bones, it is invariably juxtacortical and may need to be differentiated from, among others, parosteal osteosarcoma, sessile osteochondroma, and a matured juxtacortical focus of myositis ossificans. Osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma appear histologically very similar. Their clinical presentations and distribution in the skeleton, however, are distinct: osteoid osteoma is usually accompanied by nocturnal pain promptly relieved by salicylates; osteoblastoma arises predominantly in the axial skeleton, spinal lesions constituting one-third of reported cases. This review focuses on the application of the various imaging modalities in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and evaluation of these lesions. Their histopathology also is discussed, and their treatment briefly outlined.

Molecular cloning of osteoma-inducing replication-competent murine leukemia viruses from the RFB osteoma virus stock.

We report the molecular cloning of two replication-competent osteoma-inducing murine leukemia viruses from the RFB osteoma virus stock (M. P. Finkel, C. A. Reilly, Jr., B. O. Biskis, and I. L. Greco, p. 353-366, in C. H. G. Price and F. G. M. Ross, ed., Bone--Certain Aspects of Neoplasia, 1973). Like the original RFB osteoma virus stock, viruses derived from the molecular RFB clones induced multiple osteomas in mice of the CBA/Ca strain. The cloned RFB viruses were indistinguishable by restriction enzyme analysis and by nucleotide sequence analysis of their long-terminal-repeat regions and showed close relatedness to the Akv murine leukemia virus.

[Osteoma cutis. Multiple miliary osteoma of the face].

Primary and secondary forms of ossification can be distinguished on the basis of the skin, with osteoma cutis occurring in primary forms. Three entities can be differentiated: solitary and generalized osteoma cutis and multiple miliary osteoma of the face. Clinically, multiple papules 2-3 mm in diameter are present, which histologically consist of bony trabeculae enclosing mature fat cells and, occasionally, marrow cells. We describe the clinical, radiological and histological features of a case of multiple miliary osteoma of the face in an otherwise healthy 55-year-old woman.

Molecular and pathogenic characterization of the RFB osteoma virus: lack of oncogene and induction of osteoma, osteopetrosis, and lymphoma.

RFB virus is an ecotropic C-type retrovirus isolated from CF-1 mice, in which it is associated with induction of osteomas. Sequence analysis of the RFB provirus revealed no evidence for presence of an oncogene or a recombined env gene. RFB virus is a member of the murine leukemia virus (MuLV) group (RFB MuLV), sharing 97% nucleotide identity with the endogenous ecotropic provirus of AKR mice (Akv). Like Akv, expression of RFB MuLV mRNAs is inducible by dexamethasone treatment, indicating that FRB MuLV also shares transcriptional control signals with Akv. We assessed the pathogenic potential of RFB MuLV in NMRI mice, which, in contrast to CF-1 mice, do not contain endogenous ecotropic retroviruses. RFB MuLV induced osteomas, osteopetrosis, and lymphomas in newborn NMRI mice. Another CF-1 mouse-derived leukemia virus, FBJ MuLV, the helper virus of the FBJ osteosarcoma virus stock, as well as Akv, also induced osteomas, osteopetrosis, and lymphomas in NMRI mice similar to RFB MuLV. These findings indicate that endogenous retroviruses carry a pathogenic potential in hematopoietic tissues and in the skeleton.

Clavicular osteoma associated with bronchial osteomas.

Osteoma is a rare benign tumor, composed of bony tissues. It predominantly involves the skull but rarely the long bones. In this report we present a case of clavicular osteoma associated with bronchial osteomas. This association has not previously been reported. There was no evidence of Gardner's syndrome.

Is osteoid osteoma an iodophilic lesion?: pathologically proved osteoid osteoma of nasal bone first seen on whole-body iodine-131 scan.

The authors present a case of pathologically proved osteoid osteoma that was visualized randomly on an I-131 whole-body scan. Search of the medical literature did not reveal any mention of radioactive iodine uptake by osteoid osteomas. Therefore, the authors concluded that this pathology must be included in the differential diagnostic list of positive findings on I-131 scans.

[A case of orbital osteoma--summary of the case reports in Japan, and the usefulness of the microsurgical drilling procedure in surgical treatment of orbital osteoma].

A 57-year-old woman was admitted with a 3-month history of diplopia and exophthalmos in the right eye. Plain skull X-P and axial CT demonstrated two bony tumors. One involved her right orbit, frontal sinus and ethmoidal sinus, and the other was located in the left occipital bone. The right intraorbital tumor was removed almost totally via the superomedial orbital approach by means of microsurgical drilling. Histopathological examination revealed mature osteoma. The microsurgical drilling procedure was helpful in obtaining an optimal result from surgical treatment of the orbital osteoma.
