Massive osteolysis of the maxillo-facial bones: case report and review of the literature.

An unusual case of massive osteolysis destroying the left side of the mandible, the maxilla, the orbit, the cranium bones and the upper cervical spine is reported. The evolution of this disease was observed over a period of 4 years. The literature was reviewed, only 39 cases have been found involving the maxillo-facial bones. In our case, attempts at surgery was without success. However, further radiotherapy with 35 Gy controlled the progression of this osteolysis.

Neglected fractures of the facial bones.

Early treatment of fractures of the facial skeleton is mandatory, whenever possible. However, a number of factors, such as the general condition of the patient, the availability of proper facilities at the hospital, where he is transferred, the distance he has to travel to reach proper facilities, the awareness of the hospital staff of the maxillofacial problems and others often delay the correct treatment. We report our experience in the field, where many of the above factors often play a role resulting in neglected fractures of the facial skeleton.

Fibro-osseous lesions of the cranio-facial bones.

A brief review of cranio-facial fibro-osseous lesions is given and 15 cases of fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma are presented with clinical, radiological and histomorphological findings. After histological verification of the fibro-osseous nature of the process, 5 lesions were diagnosed on an radiological basis as fibrous dysplasia exhibiting diffuse (blending) margins, while the diagnosis of ossifying fibroma was given to 10 radiologically sharply-demarcated lesions. Both groups of lesions presented the same histomorphological features, although to a varying degree. Spheroidal calcifications, however, were identified in ossifying fibroma only, but not in all of these. Thus, the differential diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia versus ossifying fibroma rests on a radiological criterion after the histopathologist has verified the fibro-osseous nature of a lesion. The observation times varied from 1 1/2 to 34 years. Two cases of fibrous dysplasia and 3 cases of ossifying fibroma recurred. In one case of fibrous dysplasia an osteosarcoma developed 33 years after irradiation. Pain was a common symptom in the present material.
