RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to explore the temporal changes in fibrous dysplasia (FD) at radiographic follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 138 patients with FD who had undergone extremity radiography at least twice with a minimum 12-month interval between examinations were enrolled in this study. FD was monostotic in 99 patients and polyostotic in 39 patients. Patients were also classified according to skeletal maturity as follows: Patients 16 years old or younger were classified in the skeletally immature group (n = 34), and patients 17 years old or older were classified in the skeletally mature group (n = 104). We compared the initial and follow-up radiographs for the following findings: lesion size, opacity, sclerotic rim, calcification, and trabeculation. RESULTS. Of the 138 patients, radiographic follow-up showed no change in lesion size in 101 patients (73.2%), progression in 31 (22.5%), and regression in six (4.3%). FD in immature bones progressed more often than FD in mature bones (23/34 [67.6%] vs 8/104 [7.7%], respectively; p = 0.000), and polyostotic FD had a greater chance of regressing than monostotic FD (4/39 [10.3%] vs 2/99 [2.0%]; p = 0.032). A temporal change in FD lesion opacity was noticed in a minority of patients (19/138, 13.8%). Variable changes were observed in the sclerotic rim, calcification, and trabeculation. CONCLUSION. The radiographic follow-up of FD showed that approximately a quarter of lesions changed in size over time. Regardless of the change in lesion size, opacity and several morphologic features of FD changed during the follow-up period, which might reflect the histopathologic evolution of FD.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is associated with numerous health problems. Comprehensive long-term health problems of adults with MAS are less well defined in the literature. OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to report comprehensive health outcomes of adults with MAS (>18 years). DESIGN: Retrospective case note review of 16 adults with MAS managed by one clinician. Results expressed as median (range). RESULTS: The study included 16 adults (seven males) with MAS. Median current age is 29 years (20, 46). Twelve of 16 had craniofacial fibrous dysplasia with five of 12 (42%) with progressive facial asymmetry. Growth hormone excess was observed in six of 16 (38%) and T3-toxicosis in five of 16 (31.3%). Six of the seven men (86%) had abnormalities on testicular ultrasound with one man exhibiting marked atrophy of germ and sertoli cells with reduction in spermatogenesis. Six of the 16 (38%) had cardiorespiratory complications including high output cardiac failure (n,3), hypertension (n,2) and one man with congestive cardiac failure and restrictive lung disease. Six of eight (66%) who had screening endoscopy for upper gastrointestinal polyps show increasing numbers of polyps, with benign histology to date. One woman with a previous history of early puberty presented with early aggressive breast carcinoma, which was positive for GNAS. Two patients had GNAS-positive muscle myomas. Platelet dysfunction with bleeding tendency responsive to platelet transfusion during surgery was seen in four. CONCLUSION: A range of complex health problems is encountered in adults with MAS. These have important implications for transition of patients with MAS and adult care. Long-term cancer risk is currently unknown but requires careful follow-up.

RESUMEN

Multiple non-ossifying fibromas (MNOFs) occur either isolated or in association with other anomalies, are usually localized in the long bones of the lower limbs, may be radiographically confused with other skeletal lesions, and tend to heal spontaneously with the completion of the skeletal growth. Segmental distribution, either monomelic or polymelic and ipsilateral, is rare and commonly observed in the context of developmental diseases known as "RASopathies", which are caused by mutations in genes that encode components or regulators within the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. We describe here the radiographic and pathologic features of an 18-year-old Caucasian boy, whose clinical history started at the age of 3 when the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst was made on a lytic lesion of his left clavicle. Over the following 2 years, the patient developed polyostotic and monomelic lesions within the left humerus, radius, and ulna. No other skeletal and extra-skeletal anomalies were clinically detected. The lesions were interpreted as consistent with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and MNOFs and showed an unusually aggressive clinical course with progressive increase in size and coalescence. The definitive diagnosis of MNOFs was made after the exclusion of fibrous dysplasia by molecular analysis. The polyostotic and monomelic distribution of the lesions and the unusually aggressive clinical course contribute to make this case of MNOFs unique.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcitonin in the follow-up of tumor volume changes in patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. METHODS: Twenty patients with isolated craniofacial fibrous dysplasia were included, who met our criteria for long-term follow-up. Three-dimensional computed tomography scans were obtained, and tumor segmentation was performed. The tumor volume was measured preoperatively, immediate postoperative and during long-term follow-up. Serum ALP and calcitonin levels were obtained at the same times to assess their correlation with tumor volumes. RESULTS: Preoperative calcitonin levels were correlated with the presence of tumor (P = 0.0442), whereas ALP levels were not (P = 0.1125). There were no significant associations between tumor volume and ALP or calcitonin levels in the preoperative or postoperative periods. During long-term follow-up, serum ALP was significantly associated with tumor recurrence (P = 0.0096), but serum calcitonin was not (P = 0.4760). However, serum levels of ALP did not reflect the tumor volume changes. CONCLUSIONS: Serum ALP may be useful as a laboratory test for follow-up of patients with isolated craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. However, it cannot represent the tumor's volume changes and 3-dimensional computed tomography scans with tumor volume measurement are mandatory for detecting significant volume changes during follow-up. Investigation of the serum calcitonin in the preoperative period is also recommended on a large scale because it was related to the presence of the tumor.

RESUMEN

We report on a 47-year-old woman with unilateral fibrous dysplasia and three intramuscular masses. Medical imaging revealed possible intramuscular myxomas, so that the suspected diagnosis was Mazabraud syndrome. After biopsy, the suspected diagnosis was verified by histology and molecular pathology. Due to endocrine abnormalities in the patient's medical history, McCune-Albright syndrome has was also verified.

RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an uncommon and debilitating skeletal disorder resulting in fractures, deformity, functional impairment, and pain. It arises from post-zygotic somatic activating mutations in GNAS, in the cAMP-regulating transcript α-subunit, Gsα. Constitutive Gs signaling results in activation of adenylyl cyclase and dysregulated cAMP production. In the skeleton, this leads to the development of FD lesions with abnormal bone matrix, trabeculae, and collagen, produced by undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. FD may occur in isolation or in combination with extraskeletal manifestations, including hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies and café-au-lait macules, termed McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). This review summarizes current clinical and translational perspectives in FD/MAS, with an emphasis on FD pathogenesis, natural history, pre-clinical and clinical investigation, and future directions.

RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that typically behaves as a painless, slowly expanding tumor. On rare occasion, FD will undergo malignant transformation. When sarcomatous change occurs, osteosarcoma is the typical variant, followed by chondrosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. The incidence of malignant change varies from 1 to 4% depending on whether the disease is mono-ostotic or polyostotic and syndromic (McCune-Albright or Jaffe-Lichtenstein syndrome). Despite the low incidence of malignant change, the potential lethality of this disease behooves treating surgeons to be keenly aware of the signs and symptoms indicative of malignancy. This report documents a case of spontaneous transformation of FD into osteosarcoma in the setting of longstanding craniomaxillofacial FD in a 39-year-old woman.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare sporadic disease defined by the triad of café-au-lait spots, fibrous dysplasia of bone and endocrine disorder. Diagnosis is classically confirmed by the presence of bone lesions or precocious puberty. We report a case of McCune-Albright syndrome diagnosed solely on the basis of the cutaneous signs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A four-year-old girl was seen in our clinic due to the presence of congenital café-au-lait spots on her back. These macules were irregular, with jagged borders, and were disposed in a broad band on the left shoulder and in the lumbar region, in a Blaschko-linear pattern. McCune-Albright syndrome was immediately suspected, despite the absence of other signs of the disease. Genetic assessment carried out a year and a half later confirmed the diagnosis, with arginine substitution at position 201 of Gs alpha protein. The child was still asymptomatic. Regular radiographic and endocrine assessments remained normal for three years until the sudden appearance at the age of seven years of precocious puberty and radiographic evidence of fibrous dysplasia of the right hand. DISCUSSION: Café-au-lait spots are very common in the general population. An underlying genetic disorder should only be sought when such spots are multiple. However, in the case of McCune-Albright syndrome, it is the irregular borders and the Blaschko-linear arrangement of the spots in broad irregular bands that are pathognomonic, reflecting as they do the genetic mosaicism characteristic of this disease.

RESUMEN

We report on a boy who presented with hypophosphatemic rickets with elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and polyostotic osteolytic lesions at age 2 years. Tumor-induced hypophosphatemic rickets was suspected; however, bone biopsy for osteolytic changes revealed no tumorous change, except for irregularly dilated vessels associated with osteoclasts and fibrous proliferation. Venous sampling failed to point to FGF23-producing foci. After alfacalcidol and phosphate supplementation, the rachitic skeletal changes improved, but FGF23 increased and new osteolytic lesions developed. Serum levels of neopterin and a few cytokines, including plasma transforming growth factor-ß and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type II, were elevated. At age 4 years, high doses of phosphate resulted in increased serum phosphate levels, decreased neopterin and cytokines, decreased FGF23, and stabilization of osteolysis. We excluded germline mutations in PHEX, FGF23, DMP1, and ENPP1 (genes for hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets) and somatic mutations in the GNAS and HRAS/KRAS (the disease-causing genes for McCune-Albright syndrome and linear nevus sebaceous syndrome, respectively). We could not perform octreotide scintigraphy or fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography, and thus could not completely exclude occult FGF23-producing tumors. However, considering the course of the disease, it is intriguing to assume that dysregulation of osteoclast-macrophage lineage may have induced increased neopterin levels, increased cytokine levels, osteolytic process, and possibly FGF23 overproduction.

RESUMEN

Skeletal dysplasias are common disabling disorders characterized by aberrant growth of bone and cartilage leading to abnormal skeletal structures and functions, often attributable to defects in skeletal progenitor cells. The underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of most skeletal dysplasias remain elusive. Although the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway is required for skeletal progenitor cells to differentiate along the osteoblastic lineage, inappropriately elevated levels of signaling can also inhibit bone formation by suppressing osteoblast maturation. Here, we investigate interactions of the four major Gα protein families (Gα(s), Gα(i/o), Gα(q/11), and Gα(12/13)) with the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway and identify a causative role of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in fibrous dysplasia (FD) of bone, a disease that exhibits abnormal differentiation of skeletal progenitor cells. The activating Gα(s) mutations that cause FD potentiated Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, and removal of Gα(s) led to reduced Wnt/ß-catenin signaling and decreased bone formation. We further show that activation of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in osteoblast progenitors results in an FD-like phenotype and reduction of ß-catenin levels rescued differentiation defects of FD patient-derived stromal cells. Gα proteins may act at the level of ß-catenin destruction complex assembly by binding Axin. Our results indicate that activated Gα proteins differentially regulate Wnt/ß-catenin signaling but, importantly, are not required core components of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling. Our data suggest that activated Gα proteins are playing physiologically significant roles during both skeletal development and disease by modulating Wnt/ß-catenin signaling strength.

RESUMEN

The recurrence and regrowth of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD) along the repaired titanium mesh (TM) after total removal are extremely rare. A 22-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of progressive proptosis and sudden vision loss of the right eye. Craniofacial FD was histologically diagnosed 3 years ago, and the involved frontal bone was totally removed and reconstructed with TM in his first surgery. Based on previous medical history, radiographic features, and clinical findings, the recurrence was considered, and the patient underwent surgical treatment. He had an uneventful postoperative course, and during the follow-up, his proptosis was gradually relieved, and the visual acuity also improved. In this article, we present the regrowth of craniofacial FD into TM and describe the clinical features, mechanism, and treatment of this condition.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively describe demographic characteristics and computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between February 2010 and February 2013, we retrospectively studied 64 patients described as FD at CT imaging. Site of involvement and CT imaging findings of craniofacial FD were recorded for each patient. RESULTS: Our patients are described as FD at CT imaging with the following findings: expansion, ground glass density, expansion and sclerosis, expansion with sclerosis and lytic appearance, expansion and lytic appearance, and only sclerosis. Expansion was the main feature which was seen with other findings (85%). The most common finding was ground glass density and the least appearance was expansion with lytic areas and only sclerosis. DISCUSSION: Our study has shown that it is very effective to know about CT findings and localizations of craniofacial FD to reduce unnecessary biopsy rates and increase the true diagnosis.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: Pain is a poorly managed aspect in fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) because of uncertainties regarding the clinical, behavioral, and neurobiological underpinnings that contribute to pain in these patients. OBJECTIVE: Identify neuropsychological and neurobiological factors associated with pain severity in FD/MAS. DESIGN: Prospective, single-site study. PATIENTS: Twenty patients with FD/MAS and 16 age-sex matched healthy controls. INTERVENTION: Assessments of pain severity, neuropathic pain, pain catastrophizing (pain rumination, magnification, and helplessness), emotional health, and pain sensitivity with thermal quantitative sensory testing. Central nervous system (CNS) properties were measured with diffusion tensor imaging, structural magnetic resonance imaging, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Questionnaire responses, detection thresholds and tolerances to thermal stimuli, and structural and functional CNS properties. RESULTS: Pain severity in patients with FD/MAS was associated with more neuropathic pain quality, higher levels of pain catastrophizing, and depression. Quantitative sensory testing revealed normal detection of nonnoxious stimuli in patients. Individuals with FD/MAS had higher pain tolerances relative to healthy controls. From neuroimaging studies, greater pain severity, neuropathic pain quality, and psychological status of the patient were associated with reduced structural integrity of white matter pathways (superior thalamic radiation and uncinate fasciculus), reduced gray matter thickness (pre-/paracentral gyri), and heightened responses to pain (precentral, temporal, and frontal gyri). Thus, properties of CNS circuits involved in processing sensorimotor and emotional aspects of pain were altered in FD/MAS. CONCLUSION: These results offer insights into pain mechanisms in FD/MAS, while providing a basis for implementation of comprehensive pain management treatment approaches that addresses neuropsychological aspects of pain.

RESUMEN

Spontaneous malignant transformation in craniomaxillofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD) is extremely rare and its clinicopathological characteristics remain largely unknown. Here, we aimed to characterize the epidemiology and clinicopathological features of malignancies arising from preexisting FD by presenting data from a Chinese tertiary referral hospital and review of English and Chinese literatures. The craniomaxillofacial disease registry of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital was searched and reviewed to collect relevant information for patients diagnosed as malignant transformation in craniomaxillofacial FD between January 1993 and December 2010. An English and Chinese literature review was conducted to retrieve pertinent cases published in the past 2 decades with preset inclusion criteria. All included cases were further analyzed with regard to associated clinical and pathological variables. Three cases with osteosarcoma arising from previous craniomaxillofacial FD were found at our institution and 35 other cases were identified by literature review. These uncommon entities usually occurred in adults with a mean age of 39.8 years and equal gender preponderance. Maxilla remained the most common sites for malignancies followed by mandible and zygoma. Most malignancies were diagnosed as osteosarcoma followed by fibrosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Radical resection alone or with postoperative radiotherapy/chemotherapy remains the main treatment strategy with unfavorable prognosis due to local recurrence and distant metastasis. Taken together, our findings might for the first time provide the comprehensive information regarding the epidemiology, clinicopathological features, treatment, and prognosis of malignancies in craniomaxillofacial FD. Further investigations are warranted to improve early diagnosis and proper treatment for these uncommon entities.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a tumor-like growth that consists of replacement of the medullary bone with fibrous tissue, causing the expansion and weakening of the areas of bone involved. The most commonly affected bones are facial bones, causing a number of facial cosmetic and functional problems. METHODS: From December 2008 to July 2012, 10 patients with craniomaxillofacial fibrous dysplasia were treated by conservative resection and local recontouring. The patients were followed up yearly, with an average of 3 years; the longest follow-up period was 5 years. RESULTS: All the 10 patients received appropriate treatment and histopathological examinations were performed to confirm the diagnosis of FD. Four patients with zygoma involved had received partial zygoma osteoectomy and 2 patients received mandibular partial osteoectomy. Average time of follow-up was 3 years, with a range from 1 to 5 years, and all patients obtained satisfactory aesthetic and functional results. CONCLUSION: In most patients, a conservative surgery will achieve good functional and aesthetic results. For patients with mild symptoms, the aesthetic effect should be given priority while for the heavier patients the restoration of function and aesthetic effects should all be taken into account.

RESUMEN

Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is characterized by short stature, round face, calcifications, obesity, brachydactyly and intellectual disability. AHO without hormone resistance is called pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), a rare clinical condition difficult to diagnose with highly variable features. PPHP is caused by paternally inherited loss-of-function mutations in the GNAS. Patients with 2q37 microdeletions or HDAC4 mutations are also defined as having an AHO-like phenotype with normal stimulatory G (Gs) function. We have studied 256 patients with AHO features but no other diagnosis. Their platelet Gs activity was determined via the aggregation-inhibition test showing Gs hypo- or hyperfuncton in 24% and 15% of the patients, respectively. Before initiating with detailed (epi)genetic GNAS studies, we here wanted to excluded copy number variants (CNVs) in GNAS as cause of AHO with a novel large-scale screening technique. Multiplex amplicon quantification (MAQ) for CNVs screening was developed for the 20q13.3 region including GNAS and potential long-range imprinting control elements such as STX16. This is the first large-scale GNAS CNV study in patients with common AHO features but no CNVs were detected. In conclusion, CNVs in the GNAS region are not likely to cause an AHO-like phenotype with or without abnormal platelet Gs activity. Future studies will be undertaken to find out whether these AHO patients with abnormal Gs function are characterized by GNAS coding or methylation defects.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: McCune Albright syndrome (MAS), a disorder caused by somatic activating mutations in the GNAS gene, usually presents with cutaneous, skeletal, and endocrine manifestations. While focal lesions involving multiple tissues have been identified in MAS, almost nothing is known about gastrointestinal lesions in this disease. METHODS: Two MAS patients with perioral freckling, resembling Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), and two MAS patients without similar pigmentation underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy to establish if they had coexisting hamartomatous polyposis. Three of 4 subjects had documented GNAS mutations in peripheral blood. Genetic testing for STK11 and PRKAR1A genes was performed to exclude presence of coexistent PJS and Carney complex. Genetic testing of biopsy material was also performed. RESULTS: Hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps with histological features similar to those in PJS were observed in all 4 subjects, only in the stomach and/or upper duodenum. Activating GNAS mutations were found in the polyps or adjacent mucosa in 3 of 4 subjects. One patient each had mutation only in the blood or tissue, while 2 patients had both. No subject harboured any detectable PRKARIA or STK11 mutation as determined by direct DNA sequencing and copy number variation analysis. CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm that gastrointestinal polyps are a common manifestation of MAS, indicate an overlap between MAS and PJS, and point towards a putative interaction between the GNAS and STK11 genes in the pathogenesis of these two disorders. The findings suggest a need for routine gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with MAS, to establish the true incidence of polyps in these patients.

RESUMEN

We report a new case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD). A 26-year-old woman was referred to our department complaining of pain in her left arm. She had suffered for tow fractures in left leg and arm previously. Plain radiographs showed osteolytics lesions at the left humerus and radius. Histological examination of the surgical specimens showed FD. She has beneficed with zoledronic acid perfusion.

RESUMEN

A café-au-lait macule (CALM) is an evenly pigmented macule or patch of variable size. Solitary CALMs are common birthmarks in up to 2.5 percent of normal neonates and their incidence rises to up to 25 percent in preschool-aged children. Two or more CALMs occur much less frequently. Multiple lesions may warrant investigation to identify an underlying disease including neurofibromatosis types 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2, McCune-Albright syndrome, and neurofibromatosis type 1-like syndrome. Considered a hallmark and diagnostic criteria for NF1 is the presence of 6 or more CALMs greater than 0.5 cm in prepubertal individuals. Rare reports describe families which demonstrate the phenomenon of multiple CALMs without other stigmata of NF1 or evidence of other systemic disease. Herein is a description of the condition and justification for this entity to be named Neurofibromatosis type 6.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone disorder that causes deformity, fractures, and pain that typically manifests in childhood and persists as a chronic illness. This study evaluates adult patients with fibrous dysplasia and McCune Albright syndrome to determine whether their quality of life differs from the general population and varies in relation to disease severity and lesion location. METHODS: This study uses data from the online self-report Fibrous Dysplasia Foundation Patient Registry and operationalizes quality of life using PRO measures: SF-36, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, Neuro-Quality of Life Stigma scale, and the Brief Pain Inventory. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety seven adults, 90% white, 84% women, constitute the sample. Mean scores for all SF-36 domains and the Neuro Q stigma scale were significantly below population benchmarks. A large minority registered moderate to severe levels of anxiety and depression. Group differences were not significant across most of the SF-36 domains but were associated with experienced stigma. DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates a social psychological impact of fibrous dysplasia on adults, in those with and without craniofacial involvement and with mild and severe forms of the disease. Clinical treatment should encompass assessment of quality of life issues and ensure access to psychosocial treatment resources for all fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome patients.
