    Brown tumor of the jaws as a manifestation of tertiary hyperparathyroidism: A literature review and case report.
    Spec Care Dentist 2018 Mar 30. Epub 2018 Mar 30.
    Postgraduate Program, Dental College, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul-PUCRS.
    Brown tumor of the jaws is a manifestation of hyperparathyroidism consisting of osteolytic lesions that show proliferation of multinucleated giant cells in the maxilla and/or mandible. Differential diagnosis of these lesions from local central giant-cell granuloma is mandatory for the correct treatment of the patient. Radiographic and histopathological exams of the jaw lesion are not sufficient to determine the diagnosis, which requires laboratory tests including serum levels of calcium, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and phosphate, and radiographic examination of other bones as well, such as hand-wrist, pelvis, and femur.

    Evaluation of the osteopontin in oral peripheral and central giant cell granuloma.
    Indian J Pathol Microbiol 2018 Jan-Mar;61(1):18-21
    Department of Tumor Pathology, Istanbul University, Institute of Oncology, Istanbul, Turkey.
    Aim: Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) and central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws are benign proliferations of spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells and multinucleated giant cells. Despite the histopathologic similarities, they have markedly different clinical behavior. PGCG shows low recurrence rate whereas CGCG shows a variable clinical behavior ranging from nonaggressive lesions to aggressive lesions characterizing by pain, rapid growth, and high recurrence rate.

    1 AP-HP, Bichat Hospital, Paris, France.
    Pulse (hyaline ring) granuloma, a rare entity first described in lung and oral cavity, has been reported under various names before the identification of hyaline rings as fragments of pulses (the edible seeds of legumes). Similar lesions were thereafter described in extra-oral localizations, mainly the gastrointestinal tract, or localizations having potential communication with the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, 2 reports described "spiral bodies" surrounded by foreign body-type multinucleated giant cell reaction in pulse granulomas, corresponding to remnant plant vascular structures (helical xylem elements).

    Granulomas are organized aggregates of macrophages, often with characteristic morphological changes, and other immune cells. These evolutionarily ancient structures form in response to persistent particulate stimuli-infectious or noninfectious-that individual macrophages cannot eradicate. Granulomas evolved as protective responses to destroy or sequester particles but are frequently pathological in the context of foreign bodies, infections, and inflammatory diseases. Read More

    The jaws combine several unique properties that mainly result from their distinct embryonic development and their role in providing anchorage for the teeth and their supporting structures. As a consequence, several bone-related lesions almost exclusively develop in the jaws (eg, osseous dysplasias, ossifying fibromas), have distinct clinical features (eg, osteosarcoma), or hardly ever occur at this location (eg, osteochondroma, enchondroma). The specific characteristics of these tumors and tumorlike lesions are outlined in this article. Read More

    Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is an uncommon intraosseous neoplasm of the gnathic bones which is composed of fibrous connective tissue, with or without calcifications, and variable amounts of inactive odontogenic epithelium. It makes up less than 5% of odontogenic tumors and is more commonly seen in females. Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a locally destructive but benign lesion of the jaws containing osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells in a fibrovascular stroma. Read More

    Granulomatous inflammation is a distinctive form of chronic inflammation in which predominant cells include macrophages, epithelioid cells, and multinucleated giant cells. Mechanisms regulating granulomatous inflammation remain ill-understood. CD154, the ligand of CD40, is a key mediator of inflammation. Read More

    Treatment of Annular Elastolytic Giant Cell Granuloma With Topical Tretinoin.
    J Drugs Dermatol 2017 Jul;16(7):699-700

    Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma, also known as actinic granuloma, is a rare skin condition with a chronic course that is often resistant to treatment. Literature is sparse, and only a handful of case reports are available to guide treatment decisions. Typical first line treatment options include topical and intralesional steroids, topical pimecrolimus, and cryotherapy. Read More

    Background: Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG), a rare entity first described in 1979, is very similar to O'Brien actinic granuloma (AG), first described in 1975. Since then, many cases have been published under one or other of the two names. We performed a single-centre histopathology study to identify the distinguishing features and determine whether there was any objective difference between AEGCG and AG. Read More

    Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis that has been linked to tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) since 1959. The neoplastic cells produce increased amount of FGF23 which results in TIO via uncontrolled renal loss of phosphate (phosphaturia), and consequently diminished bone mineralization. To date, ∼300 cases have been reported. Read More
