Vertebral involvement of fibrous dysplasia (FD) is rare, especially in the cervical spine. Moreover, cervical FD presenting as a pathologic fracture in older patients is extremely rare. We report a case of symptomatic cervical FD associated with pathologic fracture in a 63-year-old man. The patient presented with progressive weakness of the left arm and pain in the shoulder and arm. Radiologic studies revealed a collapsed and typical 'ground glass' radiolucency of C4. Multiple lytic lesions involved the odontoid process of C2 and the body, left pedicle, and posterior elements of C4. Combined anterior and posterior decompression and reconstruction were performed. Post-operatively, the histopathologic examination confirmed FD. On the post-operative follow-up examination, the neurologic deficits had completely resolved.

Since the fibro-osseous lesion is not a specific diagnostic term, the author studied clinically and radiologically 44 cases which had been diagnosed as fibro-osseous lesion in SNUDH (1972- 1981. 12).The obtained results were as follows. 1. Clinico-radiologically, the cases of fibro-osseous lesions were divided into two groups. 2. The first group was fibrous dysplasia (21 cases). 3. The second group was tumors of periodontal ligament origin, including ossifying fibroma, cementifying fibroma and cemento-ossifying fibroma (23 cases). 4. In most cases the chief complaint was painless swelling of the jaw and the mean age of the fibrous dysplasia (24.6 yrs) was a little younger than that of the periodontal ligament origin lesions (29.2 yrs). 5. In fibrous dysplasia, maxilla was more often involved and showed ground-glass or smoke pattern radiologically. 6. The tumors of periodontal ligament origin occurred more in female, mandible and radiologically showed varying amounts of radiopaque foci in well-circumscribed osteolytic lesion.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare non-neoplastic bone lesion that involves mostly the long bones and vertebrae and may occur very rarely in the craniofacial bones. ABCs may occur as secondary bony pathologies in association with various benign and malignant bone tumors and with fibrous dysplasia (FD). FD is a common non-neoplastic bony pathology mostly affecting craniofacial bones. Secondary ABC occurring in craniofacial FD is extremely rare, with only approximately 20 cases reported in the literature to date. Here, we report on a case of secondary ABC in a 25-year-old woman who has had a craniofacial deformity for over 10 years and who presented to us with a rapidly growing painful pulsatile mass in the right frontal region that began over 2 months prior to admission. On thorough examination of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging brain scans taken at two-month interval, an aggressive, rapidly enlarging ABC, arising from the right frontal FD, was diagnosed. The patient underwent preoperative embolization followed by gross total resection of the ABC and cranioplasty. The 6-month follow up showed no recurrence of the ABC, nor was any progression of the FD noticed.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by abnormal fibro-osseous connective tissue replacing normal bone. Despite its benign behavior, craniofacial FD can cause morphological disfigurement, headache, and even blindness as a result of the produced mass effect. Surgical resection is recommended when the patient shows apparent clinical symptoms or aggravating facial asymmetry. Postoperative complications have been reported, such as hematoma, surgical site infection, abscess formation, resorption of the bone graft used for reconstruction, and recurrence. An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare benign bony lesion that can occur secondary to preexisting bone tumor. Secondary ABCs in craniofacial FD are extremely rare in the literature, accounting for less than 30, all of which are either case reports or series. We report an extremely rare case of symptomatic secondary ABC arising from craniofacial FD that had been misdiagnosed with abscess formation or recurrence and was surgically removed. Notably, 17 years elapsed between the primary surgery and the complication of secondary ABC. The patient underwent total removal of secondary ABC. After surgery, symptoms were relieved, with no recurrence observed during a 6-month follow-up.

The challenging task of classifying the fibro-osseous(FO) lesions has been previously attempted but only in the past 15 years has the entire spectrum of diversity been appreciated. For the clinicians, it is hard to clearly diagnose the lesions before operations. The purpose of this study was to review the literature about fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws and to analyse our clinical cases. As the results of the review of clinical features, radiography and histopathologic findings of sixteen cases of fibro-osseous lesions, we could elucidate diagnostic aids for treatment of benign FO lesion in jaws. Six patients involving fibrous dysplasia complained the facial swelling and facial asymmetry. The radiographic features of the lesions showed ground-glass radiopacity mostly and the histologic findings showed typically Chinese character-shaped trabeculae without osteoblastic rimming in the fibrous stroma. Six patients with ossifying fibroma were notified as swollen buccal cheek state. Their radiographic findings showed cortical expanded radiolucent lesion with sclerotic defined border, which was contrast to the normal adjacent bone. The lesions showed variant radiolucent lesions. Histological findings were revealed as cellular fibrous stroma with woven bones, variable patterns of calcifications. Three patients with cemental dysplasia didn't have specific complaints. Well circumscribed radiopaque lesions on mandibular molar area were observed. Cementum-like ossicles with fibrous stroma were found on microscopic findings. A osteoblastoma case with jaw pain was found. The radiographic feature was a mottled, dense radiopacity with osteolytic border on mandibular molar area. Under microscopy trabecule of osteoid with vascular network were predominantly found. Numerous osteoblast cells with woven bone were found. These clinical, radiographic and microscopic findings of benign fibrous-osseous lesions would suggest diagnostic criteria for each entity of FO lesions.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a disease with clinical features such as fibrous dysplasia in which normal bone tissue is replaced with abnormal fibrous tissue, abnormalities in the endocrine system, and cafe-au-lait spots on the skin. Although MAS patients are generally known to have reduced bone healing ability, postoperative healing after invasive surgical extraction is still not clearly known due to its relatively rare occurrence. In this report, a 25-year-old female patient, who had been diagnosed with MAS and had a history of abnormal bone healing after fractures of her extremities, underwent surgical extraction of the mandibular third molar with surrounding bone removal. Postoperatively, the patient showed favorable soft tissue and bone healing at the surgical site without abnormal findings such as newly developed fibro-osseous lesions, postoperative infection, or osteomyelitis.

목적: 섬유성 골 이형성증은 신호전달 G 단백의 alpha 소단위체 유전자 변이에 따른 양성 골격계 질환으로 다양한 임상적 양상을 보인다. 기능적 장애, 구조적 변형를 방지하기 위해 제한적으로 수술을 시행하게 되는데 종양소파술 후 발생한 공동을 메우는 골 이식술이 시행된다. 이 연구에서는 본원에서 시행한 섬유성 골 이형성증 치료로서 자가 해면골 이식술을 시행한 경우와 자가 해면골과 동종골, 동종골만을 사용한 경우를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년4월부터 2013년 10월까지 본원에서 섬유성 골이형성증으로 진단된 58 명 중 수술 후 1년이상 추시 관찰이 가능했던 34명을 대상으로 하였다. 수술 시 평균 연령은 26.7세(범위, 2-57세)이었고, 남자는 13명, 여자는 21명이었다. 자가 골이식은 모두 장골에서 채취한 망상골을 이식하였고, 동종골은 골은행에서 기증받은 뼈를 이식용으로 재처리하여 이용하였다. 자가 해면골만 이식한 경우(I군)는 5예, 자가 해면골과 동종 골, 혹은 동종골만 이식한 경우(II군)가 29예였다. 재발, 이차적 변성 같은 합병증을 확인하기 위해, 주기적인 단순 방사선 촬영으로 관찰하였으며 각 군을 비교하였다. 결과: 섬유성 골이형성의 재발이 4예(11.4%)있었으며, 자가 해면골 이식술 시행한 군(I군; 1예 20%)과 자가해면골과 동종골, 혹은 동종골만을 이식한 경우(II군; 3예, 10.3%) 간의 재발율을 Kaplan-Meier 방법으로 분석한 결과 두군간의 차이가 없었다(p=0.554). 재발한 경우는 모두 소파술 및 자가골이식술을 다시 시행하였으며 재수술 후 재발은 없었다. 낭종 같은 이차적 변성이 확인된 경우가 1예, 병적 골절을 보인 경우 1예가 있었으나, 악성변화를 일으킨 경우는 없었다. 결론: 섬유성 골 이형성증 환자들에게 골이식을 시행한 경우, 자가 해면골 또는 동종 골 이식술을 시행한 양 군에서 재발,병적 골절 같은 합병증의 결과가 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 종양의 부피가 작고 병변의 위치가 체중이 가하지는 부위가 아닐 경우에는 자가 해면골 이식 또한 좋은 방법으로 사료되며 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
