RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations of cumulative voriconazole dose, treatment duration, and alkaline phosphatase with voriconazole-induced periostitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and thirty-one patients with voriconazole use were identified using a clinical informatics tool. Health record data including age, sex, immune status, alkaline phosphatase, voriconazole levels, voriconazole dose, frequency, and treatment duration were collected. Imaging studies during the duration of treatment were reviewed by two radiology trainees and imaging features of voriconazole-induced periostitis were confirmed by a board-certified musculoskeletal radiologist. The length, location in the body, location in the bone, type, and morphology of periostitis lesions were recorded. Incident voriconazole-induced periostitis was defined as new periostitis on imaging after 28 days or more of voriconazole treatment in the absence of an alternative diagnosis. Univariate Firth's logistic regression models were performed using cumulative voriconazole dose, treatment duration, and average ALP as predictors and incident VIP as the outcome. RESULTS: There were nine patients with voriconazole-induced periostitis and 122 patients without voriconazole-induced periostitis. The most common lesion location in the body was the ribs (37%) and morphology was solid (44%). A 31.5-g increase in cumulative voriconazole dose was associated with 8% higher odds of incident periostitis. Increased treatment duration (63 days) and higher average alkaline phosphatase (50 IU/L) were associated with 7% higher odds of periostitis and 34% higher odds of periostitis, respectively. CONCLUSION: Increased cumulative voriconazole dose, treatment duration, and average alkaline phosphatase were associated with higher odds of voriconazole-induced periostitis.
RESUMO
Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis, known as Garre's osteomyelitis, is a type of osteomyelitis characterized by a distinctive gross thickening of the periosteum of bones. Peripheral reactive bone formation can be caused by mild irritation or infection. Garre's osteomyelitis is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and the mandible is more affected than the maxilla. The following is a case report of a 12-year-old female patient with Garre's osteomyelitis of the mandible due to an infection of a root canal-treated tooth. Without surgical intervention, the patient's symptoms were relieved through nonsurgical root canal re-treatment with long-term calcium hydroxide placement. A cone-beam computed tomography image obtained 6 months after treatment completion displayed complete healing of the periapical lesion and resolution of the peripheral reactive buccal bone. Due to the clinical features of Garre's osteomyelitis, which is characterized by thickening of the periosteum, it can be mistaken for other diseases such as fibrous dysplasia. It is important to correctly diagnose Garre's osteomyelitis based on its distinctive clinical features to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention, and it can lead to minimally invasive treatment options.
RESUMO
As social distancing guidelines continue to diminish across the country, viral pathogens that were once absent during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as influenza and RSV, have once again become prominent. Although serious side effects of vaccinations are rare, local complications of bursitis and skin and soft tissue infections are well-documented in the literature. We present a case of 1 such rare side effect: influenza vaccine related periostitis. A 39-year-old male patient presented with left shoulder pain which developed 2 days after an influenza vaccination administered to the left deltoid. His symptoms were persistent despite rest and 1 week trial of NSAIDs. MRI imaging demonstrated marrow edema and a periosteal reaction of the left shoulder. Overall, vaccine induced periostitis is poorly documented in the literature and the pathophysiology has not been fully characterized. Further research is crucial to identify patient specific risk factors and to raise awareness of this rare complication to promote swift diagnosis and effective treatment.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Injuries of the sagittal groove of the proximal phalanx (P1) in equine athletes are considered to predominantly occur due to chronic bone stress overload. OBJECTIVES: To describe the range of abnormalities that is present in the sagittal groove in a large group of horses diagnosed with sagittal groove disease (SGD) on low-field MRI. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective, cross-sectional. METHODS: Medical records were searched to identify initial MRI images of horses diagnosed with SGD and these were blindly evaluated using a semi-quantitative grading scheme and novel SGD MRI classification system reflecting potential pathways of pathological progression and severity of stress injury. RESULTS: A total of 132 limbs from 111 horses were included in the study; predominantly warmbloods competing in showjumping (n = 83) and dressage (n = 18). SGD MRI classifications were: 0 (normal, n = 0), 1 (small subchondral defect, n = 2), 2 (osseous densification, n = 28), 3 (subchondral microfissure with osseous densification, n = 7), 4 (bone oedema-like signal within the subchondral ± trabecular bone and ± subchondral microfissure or demineralisation, n = 72), 5 (incomplete macrofissure/fracture, n = 23) and 6 (complete fracture, n = 0). Classification 4c (bone oedema-like signal with demineralisation) and 5 had higher proportions in the plantar third of hindlimbs (3% and 10%, respectively) compared with forelimbs (0% and 0%, respectively). SGD classification and extent of bone oedema-like signal were not significantly different between lame (n = 116) and non-lame limbs (n = 16) (both p > 0.05). Periosteal new bone and oedema-like signal were identified (either confidently or suspected) at the dorsoproximal aspect of P1 in 25% and 39% of limbs, respectively. MAIN LIMITATIONS: Inclusion via diagnoses in original MRI reports, variable clinical history, small size of some classification groups. CONCLUSIONS: The presence or absence of lameness is not a dependable measure of the severity of SGD. The periosteal oedema-like signal of P1 has not previously been described in MRI of SGD and further supports the concept of bone stress injury.
RESUMO
Caffey disease, also referred to as infantile cortical hyperostosis, is a self-limiting inflammatory disease of bone, typically diagnosed in infancy (ages less than five months). This disease is characterized by asymmetric, often polyostotic bony hyperostosis and expansion, with a predilection for the mandible (70-90%). We present a unique case of a two-month-old boy with monostotic scapular hyperostosis. The disease is primarily diagnosed on plain film and further evaluated with bone scintigraphy or skeletal survey to identify the extent of osseous involvement. Accompanying MR imaging is not usually obtained due to lack of specificity and diagnostic utility, and when pursued, can potentially confound the diagnosis. MR findings of this case are presented to re-iterate the benignity of this disease process and obviate the need for further invasive procedures.
RESUMO
Introduction: Osteopetrosis is a rare heritable disorder characterized by increased bone density resulting from osteoclast dysfunction. Major complications include bone fracture, osteomyelitis, anemia, and cranial nerve compression. Optic atrophy can occur due to compression of the optic nerve. Although osteomyelitis of the jaw is a common complication, it rarely occurs in the maxilla. Here, we report a case of a 74-year-old female with osteopetrosis who developed maxillary osteomyelitis, leading to orbital inflammation. Case Presentation: She was referred to our clinic for 2 months of ptosis and swelling of the left eyelid and temporal region. Previous imaging revealed a left intraorbital occupying lesion, but a biopsy of the temporal subcutaneous tissue did not provide a definitive diagnosis. After 7 months, she presented with severe temporal swelling and purulent discharge. Upon examination, maxillary osteomyelitis resulting from caries of the upper jaw was observed. Treatment with oral antibiotics, drainage of the temporal skin fistula, and regular cleaning of the maxillary drainage improved her symptoms. Conclusion: This is a rare case of maxillary osteomyelitis associated with osteopetrosis, causing orbital inflammation.
RESUMO
To explore a rare case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an adult, typically observed in children, and detail its diagnostic and treatment approach, we conducted a case study of a 40-year-old male presenting with persistent right tibial pain. Through diagnostic procedures, including radiography and MRI, a broad differential diagnosis was established. Histopathological examination post-surgical intervention confirmed Garre's osteomyelitis. The treatment, which included corticotomy debridement, saucerization, ceramic granules insertion, and targeted antibiotic therapy, resulted in significant improvement over one year. This case underscores the importance of considering Garre's osteomyelitis in the differential diagnoses of chronic tibial lesions in adults and highlights the necessity of a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach in managing such rare cases, thus contributing valuable insights to orthopedic practice and literature.
RESUMO
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a paraneoplastic syndrome and is considered an important secondary cause of rheumatic disease. It typically manifests as tibial and femoral bone pain, with arthralgia or synovitis of adjacent joints also being common findings. Usually, musculoskeletal symptoms accompany the course of the disease, disappearing with treatment of the neoplasm and recurring coincidentally with the tumor relapse. The authors report a case of a patient with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, whose etiological study allowed the diagnosis of a lung adenocarcinoma, particularly challenging due to the patient's young age and the absence of associated symptoms.
RESUMO
Introduction: Bony subungual growths arising on the digital tip are uncommon. Among these, subungual exostosis is a common cause. Case Presentation: We describe a 35-year-old-male patient with a rare occurrence of a fibro-osseus pseudotumor of the digit. It presents with reactive intramembranous ossification, with no continuity with the distal phalanx, helping differentiate it from a subungual exostosis. The patient presented with an asymptomatic subungual growth, lifting up the nail plate distally causing onycholysis. The characteristic clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of the case are described, which helped confirm the diagnosis. Conclusion: Cases with fibro-osseus pseudotumor of the digit reported in literature are reviewed comprehensively. The factors helping differentiate this from the other bony tumors affecting the distal phalanx, including subungual exostosis, myositis ossificans, and osteosarcoma are also highlighted.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Syphilis is a reemerging and potentially serious disease. Owing to its ubiquity and pleomorphism, it is called "the great imitator". We report the case of a young woman with secondary syphilis who presented with bilateral acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinopathy along with a syphilitic skull periostitis. A pachymeningeal enhancement was observed on magnetic resonance imaging, but we believe it was an extension of the bone process rather than a meningitis itself on the basis of the normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis results. Treatment with intravenous crystalline penicillin resulted in complete resolution of the signs, symptoms, and imaging findings. Secondary syphilis is the stage with the highest bacteremia and the highest transmissibility, presenting mainly with mucocutaneous disorders and, less frequently, with involvement of other organs. High suspicion and a pragmatic approach are essential to the diagnosis because this disease can affect several organs, as in the present case, in which the eyes, bones, and skin were affected.
RESUMO A sífilis é uma doença reemergente e potencialmente grave. Por sua onipresença e pleomorfismo, é denominada "grande imitadora". Relatamos caso de paciente jovem com sífilis secundária, que se apresentou com coriorretinopatia placóide sifilítica posterior aguda bilateral, simultaneamente a periostite craniana sifilítica. A despeito de realce paquimeníngeo observado na ressonância magnética, acreditamos que este tenha sido uma extensão do processo ósseo e não, uma meningite em si, uma vez que o exame do líquido cefalorraquidiano estava completamente normal. Tratamento com penicilina cristalina intravenosa resultou em completa resolução dos sinais, sintomas e achados de imagem. A sífilis secundária é o estágio de maior bacteremia e maior transmissibilidade da doença, apresentando-se principalmente com quadros mucocutâneos, mas também, menos frequentemente, com envolvimento de outros órgãos. Elevada suspeição e uma abordagem pragmática são necessárias para o diagnóstico, uma vez que essa doença pode afetar vários órgãos, como no caso relatado, em que foram acometidos olhos, ossos e pele.
RESUMO
Introdução: A periostite é uma inflamação do periósteo que pode se estender para os tecidos moles adjacentes. Há pouca informação na literatura sobre alterações genéticas nessas lesões, as quais são reparadas por intensas reações de proliferação osteoblástica e possuem curso clínico semelhante ao das osteomielites crônicas inespecíficas, que podem evoluir para neoplasias. Objetivo: análise citogenética de amostra de periostite para detecção e descrição de alterações cromossômicas, principalmente as associadas com desenvolvimento de neoplasias. Métodos: material obtido de lesão em palato de paciente, um homem de 74 anos de idade, submetido anteriormente a cirurgias de remoção de carcinoma basocelular em nariz e cavidade oral. Após a coleta, com estudo histopatológico confirmando apenas material de periostite, a amostra foi submetida à análise citogenética a partir de cultura de células e bandamento GTG. Resultados: o cariótipo composto evidenciou, como alterações clonais, monossomia dos cromossomos 10, 15, 20 e 22; trissomia do cromossomo 22; inversão do cromossomo 12 e deleção de 15q. O grande número de alterações cromossômicas estaria relacionado com a alta taxa de proliferação celular, a qual poderia induzir replicação celular desbalanceada e instabilidade genética. Há genes, envolvidos com desenvolvimento de neoplasias, localizados nos pontos de quebra das alterações estruturais encontradas nos cromossomos 12 e 15. Conclusão: foram evidenciadas várias alterações cromossômicas que refletiriam a proliferação celular local. A análise citogenética em casos de periostite poderá auxiliar na descoberta de biomarcadores de prognóstico e ser utilizada, futuramente, na rotina médica para um melhor manejo dos pacientes.
Introduction: Periostitis is an inflammation of the soft tissues adjacent to the bone that affects the periosteum. There is little information in the literature about genetic alterations in these lesions, which are repaired by intense osteoblast proliferation reactions and present a clinical course that resembles that of nonspecific chronic osteomyelitis that may progress to neoplasms. Objective: Cytogenetic analysis of periostitis sample for detection and description of chromosomal alterations, especially those associated with cancer development. Methods: Material obtained from a palate lesion of a 74-year-old man who had previously undergone surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma in the nose and oral cavity. After collection, with a histopathological study confirming only periostitis material, the sample was submitted to a cytogenetic analysis from cell culture and GTG banding. Results: The composite karyotype showed, as clonal alterations, monosomy of chromosomes 10, 15, 20, and 22; trisomy of chromosome 22; inversion of chromosome 12, and deletion of 15q. The large number of chromosomal alterations would be related to the high rate of cell proliferation, which could induce unbalanced cell replication and genetic instability. There are genes, which are involved in the development of neoplasms, mapped at the breakpoints of structural changes found on chromosomes 12 and 15. Conclusion: Several chromosomal alterations that were observed would reflect local cell proliferation. Cytogenetic analysis of periostitis may help in the discovery of prognostic biomarkers and may be used in the medical routine for better patient management in the future.

Abstract Florid reactive periostitis is a benign andrare lesion that is a recurrent diagnostic problem. Its etiopathogenesis remains unknown. Florid reactive periostitis consists of a fibrotic, cartilage- producing tumor accompanied by an aggressive inflammatory periosteal and soft tissue reaction. It typically occurs in adolescents and young adults, mostly female; it often affects hand and foot bones, and it may occur in long bones. Its diagnosis remains a major challenge due to the vast possibility of differential diagnoses. Therefore, careful clinical, radiological, and pathological evaluation is required to establish a proper diagnosis. We report the case of a patientwith florid reactive periostitis in the proximal phalanx of the right index finger, who underwent surgical excision with a wide margin, from the second ray to the proximal third of the secondmetacarpal bone, and evolved without complications,with satisfactory range of motion and strength.

El síndrome de estrés tibial interno es una enfermedad frecuente en el personal militar durante los primeros meses de su entrenamiento. Su etiología no es muy clara y en diferentes trabajos se han descrito varios factores intrínsecos de riesgo relacionados con este síndrome, pero poco se han enfocado en identificar factores extrínsecos de riesgo en el personal militar. Objetivo: Hacer una aproximación a la identificación de los factores extrínsecos de riesgo relacionados con el síndrome de estrés tibial interno en personal militar de primer y segundo nivel de la Escuela Militar de Cadetes General José María Córdova. Metodología: La muestra la conformaron100 cadetes de la facultades de Educación Física Militar, de Ingeniería Civil y de Ciencias Militares, que contestaron dos cuestionarios: en uno se buscó identificar la presencia de síntomas y signos activos del síndrome de estrés tibial interno y, en el otro, los factores de riesgo descritos en la literatura y aquellos que a consideración del investigador podrían relacionarse con este síndrome. Resultados: El 21 % de los cadetes presentó el síndrome de estrés tibial interno. Los factores extrínsecos de riesgo identificados fueron: percibir el calzado deportivo de dotación como similar al calzado particular y realizar repetición de la actividad como correctivo en la formación militar. Los factores protectores identificados en los cadetes fueron: correr menos de 10 km, tener un acumulado de 20 a 30 km utilizando el calzado de dotación, percibir el calzado de dotación como pesado o similar al calzado común, desarrollar los entrenamientos físicos de su formación militar sobre la grama y realizar el correctivo militar trote alrededor de la escuela. Conclusion: Se logró determinar que considerar el calzado deportivo de dotación como inadecuado para el entrenamiento deportivo y someterse al correctivo militar...
Introduction: The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTES) is a common condition in military personnel during the first months of their training. Its etiology is unclear and different studies have described several intrinsic risk factors associated with this syndrome, but few have focused on identifying extrinsic risk factors in military personnel. Objective: The central aim of the study was to make an approach to the identification of extrinsic risk factors related to MTES in first year academy military personnel. Methodes: The sample consisted of 100 first year military personnel attending the physical education, civil engineering and military science pregraduate majors. They answered two questionnaires, one sought to identify cadets who had symptoms and signs of active MTES, and the second questionnaire sought to identify risk factors described in the literature and those that the researcher considered to be related to this syndrome. Results: 21% of the military personnel had MTES, and the extrinsic risk factors identified in the cadets were: perceiving the military issued sneakers as usual to the regular footwear and performing repetition of the activity as a corrective measure as part of the military training. Protective factors identified in the military personnel were: running less than 10 km, to have a total accumulated of 20 to 30 km using military issued boots, to perceive military issued footwear as heavy or usual to common footwear, to do the physical military training over grass and to run to the academy premises as a corrective measure in their military training. Conclusions: It was possible to identify that the military personnel who perceived as inadequate the military issued sneakers to perform their sports training and the military ...

La osteomielitis crónica con periostitis proliferativa es un tipo de alteración caracterizada por una reacción periosteal exacerbada causada por un estimulo de baja intensidad, generalmente una lesión cariosa con patología periapical asociada. Actúa principalmente en niños y adolescentes con predilección por la región basilar de mandíbula. Clínicamente, se manifiesta a través de un aumento de volumen doloroso intra o extraoral, de consistencia endurecida. Radiográficamente presenta laminas óseas neoformadas, paralelas entre si con superficie cortical, observándose el aspecto típico de "cascara de cebolla". El tratamiento incluye el retiro del factor etiológico con o sin antibioterapia y posterior restablecimiento de la simetría facial del paciente. Este trabajo presenta un caso de osteomielitis crónica con periostitis proliferativa en una paciente de sexo femenino de 11 años de edad, causada por una lesión cariosa en el primer molar inferior izquierdo, quien fue sometida a exodoncia del diente comprometido con posterior restablecimiento de la simetría facial.
Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis is a kind of osteomyelitis that is characterized by a great periosteal reaction resulting of low grade stimulation, usually a caries lesion associated a periapical pathology. It affects especially children and young adults, with the mandible as the most common site, usually in the inferior aspect. Clinically presents as a painless hard swelling intra and/or extra-oral. Radiographic aspects include bone layers new formed, parallel to each other and to the underlying cortical surface, giving the characteristic appearance of "onion skin". Treatment includes elimination of the cause, with or without antibiotics, being restored the facial symmetry of patient. The present article is a clinical case report of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis affecting a female 11 year old patient, caused by a caries lesion in the left permanent first molar, that was submissed to a exodontia and the facial symmetry of the patient was restored with management.

O objetivo deste ensaio iconográfico é estimular a avaliação cuidadosa das reações periosteais nas imagens de ressonância magnética. A abordagem inicial das lesões ósseas é realizada por meio das radiografias simples e pela avaliação destas se faz a classificação das reações periosteais em subtipos clássicos. Embora a ressonância magnética seja considerada o padrão ouro para o estadiamento regional das neoplasias ósseas, seu uso no estudo das reações periosteais relacionadas às lesões ósseas focais tem sido relativamente pouco enfatizado. A revisão da literatura evidencia um modelo experimental animal de osteomielite que sugere que a ressonância magnética seja superior às outras técnicas de imagem na identificação precoce das reações periosteais. Outro estudo encontrado na literatura sugere boa correlação entre as radiografias simples e as imagens de ressonância magnética na identificação e na classificação das reações periosteais no osteossarcoma. Neste ensaio foram ilustrados casos de reações periosteais observadas pela ressonância magnética, correlacionado-as com as radiografias convencionais ou com outros métodos de diagnóstico por imagem.
The objective of the present essay was to encourage a careful evaluation of periosteal reactions on magnetic resonance images. The initial approach to bone lesions is made by conventional radiography and, based on the imaging findings, periosteal reactions are classified into classical subtypes. Although magnetic resonance imaging is considered as the gold standard for local staging of bone tumors, the utilization of such method in the study of periosteal reactions related to focal bone lesions has been poorly emphasized, with relatively few studies approaching this subject. The literature review revealed a study describing an experimental animal model of osteomyelitis suggesting that magnetic resonance imaging is superior to other imaging methods in the early identification of periosteal reactions. Another study has suggested a good correlation between conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging in the identification and classification of periosteal reactions in cases of osteosarcoma. The present essay illustrates cases of periosteal reactions observed at magnetic resonance imaging in correlation with findings of conventional radiography or other imaging methods.

Introdução: a sífilis causa morbidade na vida intrauterina, desfechos negativos em mais de 50% dos casos e complicações nos nascidos vivos. Lesões ósseas são frequentes na sífilis congênita (SC), ocorrendo em 70 a 100% dos casos. Objetivo: relatar casos de dez lactentes com diagnóstico de SC precoce e alterações ósseas ao exame radiológico de ossos longos, acompanhados no Serviço de Infectologia do HINSG. Relato dos casos: dez lactentes apresentaram lesões ósseas, entre crianças internadas com SC no HINSG, seis do sexo feminino e quatro do masculino. Metade era proveniente da Grande Vitória, três do interior e dois da Bahia. Dois tinham menos de 1 mês de vida. Seis das mães fizeram pré-natal, três tiveram o diagnóstico de sífilis na gestação e apenas uma foi adequadamente tratada. Duas crianças apresentaram osteomielite, sendo uma com lesão lítica na tíbia e as demais tiveram periostite. Mais de um osso foi afetado em seis lactentes. Os ossos mais afetados foram: tíbia (7/10), fêmur (6/10), úmero (5/10), rádio (2/10) e ulna (2/10). Sintoma comum entre todos foi choro frequente ao movimento de membros superiores ou inferiores, motivo de as mães terem procurado o serviço médico. Discussão: alterações radiológicas são importantes no diagnóstico de SC. Neste estudo, 60% das mães fizeram pré-natal, uma foi tratada corretamente e nenhuma das crianças foi diagnosticada e tratada logo após o nascimento, somente recebendo medicação adequada após o diagnóstico no nosso serviço. Alterações radiológicas da SC podem acontecer em tempo variado após a instalação da infecção. Podem ocorrer diferentes lesões, que incluem lesões da SC precoce: osteomielite diafisária, osteítes e periostite. Osteocondrite afeta áreas da cartilagem em crescimento. Lesões da SC tardia são severas, podem causar deformidades físicas e fratura patológica na criança, necrose de osso e osteólise no adulto e, às vezes associam-se a infecção piogênica ou difusão para tecidos adjacentes, com formações de fístulas cutâneas indolores.
Introduction: syphilis morbidity in intra-uterine life, produces negative outcomes in more than 50% of cases and complications in live births. Bone injuries are frequent in congenital syphilis (CS), occurring in 70 to 100% of the cases. Objective: to report cases of ten infants diagnosed with early SC and bone changes to the radiological examination of long bones, accompanied in the infectology service of HINSG. Case report: ten infants had bone injuries among children hospitalized with CS in HINSG, six female and four male. Half of the metropolitan region of Vitória, two from the interior and three from state of Bahia. Two were less than a month old. Six of the mothers had prenatal care, three were diagnosed with syphilis during pregnancy and only one was properly treated. Two children had osteomyelitis, and with a lytic lesion in the tibia and the other had periostitis. More than one bone was affected in six infants. Bones most affected: tibia (7/10), femur (6/10), humerus (5/10), radio (2/10) and ulna (2/10). Common symptom among all were frequent crying with movement of members. Reason why mothers have sought medical service. Discussion: changes are important in radiological diagnosis of CS. In thisstudy 60% of mothers have prenatal care, one was treated correctly and none of the children were diagnosed and treated soon after birth, only receiving proper medication after diagnosis in our service. Radiological changes of CS may happen after installation according to time of infection. Various injuries may occur, including injuries of CS early: osteomyelitis diaphyseal, osteítes and periostitis. Osteochondritis affects cartilage in areas of growth. Injury of late CS are severe, can cause physical de formities and pathological fracture in children, necrosis of bone and osteolysis in adults and sometimes linking up with pyogenic infection or spread to adjacent tissues, with formation of fistulas skin painless.

Proliferative periostitis is a disease characterized for successive deposition of layers of subperiosteal bone as a response reaction to a chronic inflammatory stimulation. The affected periosteum forms several rows of reactive bone that are parallel and expand the surface of the altered bone. Dens in dente is a developmental malformation resulting from invagination of the crown before calcification has occurred. They are usually diagnosed upon routine clinical and radiographic examination. An unusual case report of a mandibular dens in dente causing proliferative periostitis is presented. The source of infection was related to dens in dente in mandibular left second premolar's crown, which had apparently communication with periodontal tissues. It was successfully treated by surgical therapy with antibiotic duringthe treatment. After the extraction of the affected tooth, radiographic follow-up showed the decrease of proliferative periostitis, and remodelation of the cortical bone.
A periostite proliferativa é uma doença caracterizada por sucessivas deposições de camadas de osso subperióstica como resposta a um estímulo crônico inflamatório. O periósteo afetado forma sucessivas camadas de osso reacional paralelas entre si e expandem a superfície óssea nesse local. Dens in dente é uma alteração do desenvolvimento resultante de invaginação de esmalte para a dentina antes de sua calcificação ocorrer. Usualmente são diagnosticadas em exames clínicos-radiográficos de rotina. Um relato de caso clínico raro é apresentado sobre dens in dente na coroa do segundo pré-molar inferior causando periostite proliferativa. A fonte de infecção foi o dens in dente que tinha comunicação do meio bucal com a área do periodonto. Foi realizada a extração do dente anômalo associado com uso de antibióticos. As radiografias de controle mostraram diminuição da periostite proliferativa como remodelamento do osso cortical.
