The "Taiwanese giant": hormonal and genetic influences in fibrous dysplasia.

A 14-year-old boy has been followed for 4 years with a rapidly growing, recurrent area of fibrous dysplasia of the left maxilla and zygoma following resection and bone grafting. Standing 190 cm tall, he was found to have elevated serum growth hormone levels and a pituitary adenoma. His case appears to represent a postzygotic gene mutation of McCune-Albright syndrome. It is possible that the elevated growth hormone levels are in part responsible for the rapid progression of the tumor.

Pneumosinus dilatans of the maxillary sinus: a report of two cases.

Two cases of the rare condition of pneumosinus dilatans of the maxillary sinus are presented. This is a rare differential diagnosis of a maxillary mass. The precise aetiology and pathogenesis is obscure. Because facial deformity may persist after construction of a naso-antral window alone, direct resection and reconstruction using bone grafts is recommended in addition to the creation of a naso-antral window, if required.
