RESUMO
The aim of this study is to report an original case series of synchronous jawbone diseases. Data of patients seen over 13 years were extracted from the files of three Oral Radiology and Pathology diagnostic centers in Brazil. The clinical, radiographic, and laboratory characteristics were tabulated and analyzed by the authors; the patients were described according to lesion type. Seventy-two synchronous jawbone diseases were included in this study. Florid osseous dysplasia, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, and cherubism were the most frequent disorders reported in this case series. In addition, the posterior mandible area was the main site of manifestation. Florid osseous dysplasia and Gorlin-Goltz syndrome represented two-thirds of our samples. With the utilization of adequate demographic, clinical, and radiologic information, it is possible to diagnose most of the synchronous lesions of jawbones. Sometimes, however, we need complementary exams, such as histopathologic and biochemical analysis or dosing of calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is the most common benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws and generally considered non-neoplastic and self-limited. Here, we present a 30-year old female who noticed a bilateral swelling of her posterior mandible with irregular periapical mineralization and incomplete root resorption on panoramic radiographs. A biopsy revealed florid COD and no further treatment was initiated. 9 years later, she presented with a progressive expansion of her left posterior mandible after being treated for bilateral breast cancer 4 and 8 years before. CT scans showed expansile and densely mineralized lesions in all four quadrants with the left posterior mandible showing a focal penetration of the buccal cortical bone. Biopsies revealed an osteoblastic high-grade osteosarcoma in the left and a COD in the right mandible, notably with cellular atypia in the spindle cell component. The patient underwent segmental resection of the left mandible with clear margins and adjuvant chemotherapy. Subsequent genetic testing identified a heterozygous germline TP53 mutation (p.V173G) which confirmed the clinically suspected Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). 3 years after the resection, the patient is free of disease and the other foci of COD remained stable in size on follow-up imaging analyses. Our case illustrates LFS-related osteosarcoma developing within florid COD. Given the rarity of this coincidence, a causative relation between the two lesions seems unlikely but in patients with tumor predisposition syndromes it might be advisable to closely monitor even benign lesions like COD.

Since 1980, moderately large doses of oral calcium (80 +/- 35 mmol/day as CaCO3 +/- calcium polystyrene sulphonate), in association if necessary with Mg(OH)2 (2.5 +/- 1 g/day), with a reduction in the dialysate Mg concentrations from 0.75 to 0.375 mmol/24 h, have replaced A1(OH)3 as phosphate binders in our centre. A1(OH)3 was previously given to our haemodialysis patients in association with small doses of Ca CO3 (less than or equal to 3 g/day) and if necessary with 1 alpha OH vitamin D3. To compare the long-term efficacy of this new approach with the former one in the prevention of renal osteodystrophy and soft-tissue calcification, 32 current patients were selected on the basis of at least 24 months of treatment in our centre and availability of a yearly bone survey (profile of lumbar spine and anteroposterior view of the pelvis, shoulders and hands). A group of 30 patients treated before 1980 were then selected on the same criteria and matched for age, sex, and duration on dialysis. Linear calcifications of the anterior and posterior walls of the aorta in front of L2, L3, L4 and on the lateral walls of the iliac and femoral arteries were measured and the para-articular calcifications and subperiosteal resorptions of the hands evaluated. The initial extent and the subsequent increase of the ocular and para-articular calcification were comparable in the two groups. Plasma alkaline phosphatase was stable in the normal range in both groups, as was plasma concentration of calcium. Plasma phosphate was slightly elevated (1.7 mmol/l) but stable and comparable in the two groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Horses grazing manily Cenchrus ciliaris and/or Panicum maximum var. trichoglume pastures on over 30 properties in southern central Queensland developed lesions of osteodystrophia fibrosa. Horses on individual properties in coastal Queensland grazing Setaria anceps, Brachiaria mutica or Pennisetum clandestinum also developed the disease. Ill-thrift, lameness, and fibrous swellings of nasal bones, maxillae and mandibles were observed. Calcium and phosphorus levels of pasture were normal but all the above pasture species contained oxalates which were suspected of causing the disease.
