The osteosarcoma is the most co1t1.mon primary malignant lesion of bone, even so it is relatively rare tumor in the jaw bones. It is derived from undifferentiated mesenchymal elements of bone, which from neoplastic osteoid and osseous tissue. It may affected primarily young adult males and more frequently mandible than maxilla. Mass, swelling and pain are the most presenting symptoms. Radiographic appearance will be sclerotic, in which bone formation is excessive: osteolytic, in which bone destruction predominates: and mixed, in which sclerotic and osteolytic changes are intermingled. We report a case of osteosarcoma on the mandibular ramus area in a 20 years old male with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

The author studied age and sex distribution, etiology, affected site and several radiographic features of osteomyelitis of the jaw. And radiologic classification of osteomyelitis was also done. The material consisted of 118 males and 96 females examined and/or treated under the diagnosis of osteomyelitis during past 11 years (1970-1980.6) in SNUDH. The obtained results were as followings. 1. The incidence is the highest in teenages(22.9%) and the lowest in seventies. (2.8%). 2. 199 cases were found in lower jaw, and 15 cases in upper jaw. 30.8% of all cases were located at the posterior portion of mandibular body comprising alveolar region. 3. Radiographic examination of osteolytic lesion revealed that 21. 5% of all patients had periapical and alveolar bone rarefaction combined with osteoporotic changes and that in most of patients two or more of the above described changes were present at the same time. 4. Sclerotic lesions were seen in 62.2 % of all patients and 21.5% of sclerotic lesion were diffuse or homogenuous type. 5. Based on the radiologic study, classification of the osteomyelitis of the jaw was made. Loclized osteolytic type was the highest in incidence (38.8%) and localized sclerotic type was the lowest (7.0%)

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign, monoarticular arthropathy that is characterized by the development of highly cellular, metaplastic cartilaginous nodules in the synovial membrane. It commonly affects larger joints such as the knee, elbow, wrist, shoulder, and hip. Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) is rare. Moreover, the temporal involvement of synovial chondromatosis without connection with joint is greatly rare. A 44-year-old women had experienced pain of the right TMJ area and limitation of mouth opening. MRI and CT revealed multiple calcified loose bodies and widening in right upper joint space of TMJ and osteolytic lesion in right temporal bone. Treatment consisted of removal of multiple loose bodies, resection of the osteolytic lesion through the preauricular approach. She was diagnosed with primary transitional synovial chondromatosis of TMJ with involvement of temporal bone. In spite of remaining of the loose bodies, pain and mouth opening improved and there have been no recurrence of signs and symptoms for 5 years follow up.

Periapical cemental dysplasia(PCD) is a condition most commonly seen in the mandibular incisor region. Radiographically it passes through the three phases(osteolytic stage, intermediate stage, and mature stage). At osteolytic stage, the lesion is similar to features associated with granuloma or cyst that arise following pulpal necrosis. So, it is important to confirm the vitality of the pulp to diagnosis. In this case, it is difficult to confirm the vitality of involved tooth because the tooth was covered with PFG bridge. And it is unusual that the PCD lesion at mandibular incisors has occurred at first and the lesion of mandibular canine and mandibular premolar were occurred afterward.

The radiographic findings of an osteolytic lesion in the knee may indicate numerous possible impressions. Furthermore, osteolysis is a possible cause if there is a surgical history of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The authors diagnosed osteolysis of the fibular head after aseptic loosening of the tibial component of a cemented TKA in an 83-year-old female patient who visited with right knee pain and report their treatment with revision TKA along with a literature review.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare hematologic disorder with sustained eosinophilia. Peripheral blood eosinophilia without an underlying etiology and with organs dysfunction has been designated hypereosinophilic syndrome. We report a rare case of symptomatic spinal infiltration of eosinophils at osteolytic T5 in patient with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.

We report a rare case of fibrous dysplasia with the development of a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst presenting as solitary tumor of calvarium. Although fibrous dysplasia with aneurysmal bone cyst is rare, it should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of the osteolytic solitary skull lesion.

Legg-Calve-Perthes diseases were diagnosed in 2 dogs showing signs of lameness. In radiographs, the abnormal size and shape was due to the collapse of the left capital bone and enlarged femoral neck was seen at case I. The completely deformed left femoral head resulted from the earlier collapse of the osteolytic bone of the caput femoris at case II. In treatment, femoral head ezcision was performed in one dog.

Aortic abdominal aneurysm rarely has been reported as causing osteolytic lesions of the spine. It may produce back and radiating pain patterns similar to those of several commonly encountered neurosurgical processes. We report a uncommon complication of huge pulsating aortic aneurysm causing severe vertebral erosion with incapacitating back and radiating pain.

Disseminated mycobacterial infection after bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination is a very rare disorder, occurring mostly in patients with immunologic deficiency. We report a case of disseminated BCG infection in a 16-month-old girl with severe combined immunodeficiency. Plain radiographs showed multiple osteolytic lesions in the femora, tibiae, humerus, and phalanges. Abdominal sonography and CT scanning revealed multiple nodules in the spleen, and portocaval lymphadenopathy.
