ABSTRACT
El síndrome de Gardner es una enfermedad genética de herencia autosómica dominante, presenta múltiples manifestaciones craneofaciales caracterizadas por hipercrecimientos óseos conocidos como osteomas, riesgo de desarrollo de pólipos gastrointestinales con alto potencial de malignidad y de tumores o quistes en piel, así como alteraciones dentales, entre las que destacan la presencia de dientes supernumerarios, retenciones dentarias, permanencia de dientes deciduos y odontomas, estas últimas de gran importancia para el odontólogo. Se trata de una enfermedad que afecta a mujeres y hombres de forma indistinta, no obstante, su prevalencia es mayor en el sexo femenino. El objetivo del presente artículo es explicar las manifestaciones clínicas y radiográficas dentales y craneofaciales del síndrome de Gardner mediante la presentación de un caso clínico y revisión de la literatura (AU)
Gardner syndrome is a genetic disease of autosomal dominant inheritance, it presents multiple craniofacial manifestations characterized by bone overgrowths known as osteomas, risk of development of gastrointestinal polyps with high potencial of malignancy, and skin tumors or cysts, as well as dental alterations, among the characteristics of the presence of supernumerary teeth, dental retention, permanence of deciduous teeth and odontomas, the latter of great importance for the dentist. It is a disease that affects women and men indistinctly, however, its prevalence is higher in the female sex. The aim of this article is to explain the dental and craniofacial clinical and radiographic manifestations of Gardner syndrome by presenting a clinical case and a review of the literature (AU)

Benign osteoblastic anomalies are uncommon bone tumors and commonly divided into osteoid osteomas and benign osteoblastomas according to their biological behaviour. Among these primary benign bone tumor osteomas are the most commonly found at the site of skull and face. Osteomas are usually asymptomatic as they increase in size slowly. Therefore, present study was designed to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and surgical aspects of osteomas in patients with giant skull lesions. Methods: This study was conducted in CNS Hospital, Centre for Neurosciences and Narayan Superspeciality hospital, Meerut and SVBP Hospital associated with LLRM Medical College, Meerut between the period of 2015 and 2018. The 12 successive patients with giant osteomas were treated surgically in the hospital. The patient population consisted of adult female patient ranging from 12 to 70 years with median age of 40 years and having giant cranial osteomas involving the cranial vault and some with extension into the paranasal sinuses or orbital wall. Results: Most common site of lesions was frontal portion of skull. Further, most common complaint of the patients was headache (50%). Further, slowly growing mass (44.4%) was the second most common complaint followed by proptosis in one patient. The mean diameter was 5.75 cm with range of 3 to 10 cm in all patients. The mean time duration of the patients of the onset of the tumor was 3 years with range from 6 months to 5 years. Histopathology picture of the patients revealed that tumors were composed of oestoid lamina. Further, different quantity of osteoid with major cement lines were found in trabeculae of laminae. Conclusion: Osteomas are normally benign tumors without any symptoms; However, surgical removal could be required for the cosmetic reasons. On the other hand, for the osteomas with different symptoms surgical treatment is the only choice of treatment. A considerable precaution and care of blood supply and surrounding brain tissue should be taken during radical extraction of the giant tumors.
ABSTRACT
Popliteal vein aneurysms (PVAs) represent a rare form of venous aneurysms and necessitate prompt management because of their well-established risk of pulmonary embolism (PE). Herein, we report a rare case of PVA without PE, successfully treated with open surgical repair. A 27-year-old man presented to our vascular clinic with chronic pain and swelling in his left lower limb. He had a long history of facial surgeries for the removal of congenital multiple osteomas. Physical examination revealed varicosities with an abnormal distribution. Duplex ultrasound showed a left PVA measuring 2.3 cm in diameter and 4 cm in length. Open surgical excision of the PVA with lateral venorrhaphy was performed through a medial approach. Prophylactic anticoagulation was performed postoperatively. In this case, the PVA was detected, with a high degree of suspicion by the clinician, before it caused fatal PE. The patient was successfully treated with aneurysm excision and lateral venorrhaphy.

Objective To explore the clinical value of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and imaging follow-up for patients with osteoid osteoma.Methods Thirty-seven patients with osteoid osteomas were selected.Their tumors occurred mainly in the femur and tibia (16/37,13/37) with local pain aggravated at night in 32 of the cases.They were treated with CT-guided RFA.One week,1 month and 3 months after the surgery,CT and MRI examinations were conducted to observe the density of the ablated area,any density (signal) changes and the recovery of adjacent tissues.A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the perceived pain of the patients.Results All of the patients went through the operation successfully and resumed unrestricted normal activity within 2 d to 1 week without complications.Field CT showed a low density of bone defects one month after the ablation,with the bone defect narrowing and peripheral thickened reactive bone thinning slightly 2 months later.One week after the RFA treatment the MRI's T2WI signal was lower than before the treatment and the T1WI signal was low.One month after the RFA the T2WI high signal of 20 of the patients (54.1％) had decreased and the T1WI low signal had narrowed compared to one week after the operation.The signals of the other 17 cases (45.9％) had returned to normal.Three months after the operation the T2WI high signal of 10 of the 20 patients (27％) had decreased further and their T1 WI low signal had also narrowed further compared to one month after the operation,with a total of 27 then normal.After the operation,the average VAS score decreased significantly compared to before the operation.Conclusion CT-guided RFA is a safe and effective minimally invasive method for the treatment of osteoid osteoma.Dynamic imaging is very useful for assessing the therapeutic effect in the short term.
ABSTRACT
Paranasal osteomas are not uncommon to be found as an incidental finding in routine radiological examinations. Many a times, this entity is found while undergoing computerized tomography (CT) for some other reason. Sometimes, patient comes with vague complaints not related to this finding but indirectly is responsible for few of these symptoms. We present a case of 18-years old male who presented with the complaint of vague headache of about one year duration. He underwent CT examination and was found to be having slightly uncommon mature type of ethmoid osteomas in addition to pan sinusitis.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. The swelling of the soft tissues can be studied with a variety of techniques, amongst which the emphasis is on high resolution ultrasound (US) for its high availability. Bone tumors are a very rare cause of increased volume in soft tissue. Before the ultrasound finding of a bone tumor it is important to try to specify their nature to determine the need for additional studies. Objective. To present an ultrasound schema that allows for a better diagnostic approach to the unusual finding of a bone tumor. Method. Retrospective study. All soft tissue ultrasound performed at our institution over a period of five years (2009-2013), were reviewed...
Introducción. El aumento de volumen de las partes blandas puede ser estudiado con una variedad de técnicas, entre ellas destaca el ultrasonido de alta resolución (US) por su alta disponibilidad. Los tumores óseos son una causa muy infrecuente de aumento de volumen de partes blandas. Ante el hallazgo ecográfico de una tumoración ósea es importante intentar especificar su naturaleza para determinar la necesidad de estudios complementarios. Objetivo. Presentar un esquema ecográfico que permita una mejor aproximación diagnóstica ante el hallazgo inusual de un tumor óseo. Método. Estudio retrospectivo. Se revisaron todos los US de partes blandas realizados en nuestra institución por un periodo de 5 años (2009-2013)...

Osteoma is a benign bony outgrowth of membranous bones and is found mostly on skull and facial bones. In the head and neck region they are commonly seen in the frontoethmoidal regions. The lesions are usually asymptomatic and sometimes may impinge on surrounding areas and cause symptoms. Osteomas may be present in a solitary or multiple sites. The present article reports a case of multiple osteomas of head located in the craniofacial region with imaging details.
ABSTRACT
El propósito de esta comunicación es dar a conocer la experiencia con un caso de osteoma cutis en una paciente de 46 años de edad, quien solicitó tratamiento odontológico en las clínicas de la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad del Valle. El examen radiografico periapical mostró peque±as zonas radiopacas de aproximadamente 2 mm de dißmetro a nivel de molares superiores derechos e izquierdos. El caso se estudió y se diagnosticó en la Sección de Radiología de la Escuela. Como era un hallazgo radiografico poco frecuente, se motivó el interés por una revisión detallada del tema y con otras ayudas diagnósticas fue posible establecer el diagnóstico definitivo.
The purpose of this comunication is to share the experience with a case of osteoma cutis in a 46 years old woman who requested odontological treatment at the dental clinic of the Universidad del Valle. The periapical radiographic image of the superior molar zone showed multiple radiopaque bilateral rounded bodies of approximately 2 mm in diameter. The case was further studied and analyzed at the radiological section of the school. It was characterized as a non-frequent radiological finding. This unusual finding motivated a detailed review and the use of other diagnostic tools, such as clinical and histopathological tests that established the final diagnosis.

Osteoma cutis is a rare disorder characterized by compact bone formation in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is classified in primary and secondary forms according to the presence or absence of previous cutaneous lesions. Multiple miliary osteomas of the face is a form of primary miliary osteoma cutis that generally occurs in middle-aged and older women. We report a typical case of multiple miliary osteomas of the face in a 63-year-old woman.
