Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disorder characterized by the replacement of normal bone with benign fibro-osseous tissue. Developments in our understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment options are impeded by the lack of suitable research models. In this study, we developed an in vitro organotypic model capable of recapitulating key intrinsic and phenotypic properties of FD. Initially, transcriptomic profiling of individual cells isolated from patient lesional tissues unveiled intralesional molecular and cellular heterogeneity. Leveraging these insights, we established patient-derived organoids (PDOs) using primary cells obtained from patient FD lesions. Evaluation of PDOs demonstrated preservation of fibrosis-associated constituent cell types and transcriptional signatures observed in FD lesions. Additionally, PDOs retained distinct constellations of genomic and metabolic alterations characteristic of FD. Histological evaluation further corroborated the fidelity of PDOs in recapitulating important phenotypic features of FD that underscore their pathophysiological relevance. Our findings represent meaningful progress in the field, as they open up the possibility for in vitro modeling of rare bone lesions in a three-dimensional context and may signify the first step towards creating a personalized platform for research and therapeutic studies.

Abstract
Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) is an osteofibrous neoplasm that originates in the craniofacial skeleton typically during the first three decades of life. JPOFs usually involve the orbit, paranasal sinuses or the jaws. Extensive involvement of the anterior cranial base with compromised visual function is a rare phenomenon. In such clinical context, a definite diagnosis can only be made on the basis of histopathological findings, given the absence of pathognomonic radiological features. Despite being considered a benign entity, JPOFs present a locally aggressive behavior. Therefore, these neoplasms must be included in the differential diagnosis in every patient harboring a skull base osteofibrous lesion, and, once diagnosed, gross total surgical removal should be attempted. In this study, we present our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient diagnosed with a giant JPOF involving the cranial base.

Abstract
This case report describes a 67-year-old woman who developed an extensive, slow-growing lesion occupying the whole of the palate in 10 years. Considering clinical and radiographic features, calcifying neoplasms were considered. Correlating microscopic features with clinical features, the lesion was diagnosed as peripheral ossifying fibroma, which seldom presents as an extensive lesion on the palate amongst the elderly age group. This case report will highlight clinicians and pathologists about a rare presentation of a commonly encountered lesion with a comprehensive view of the differential diagnosis of other comparable lesions.

Abstract
A total of 7% of all benign bone lesions are diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia (FD). The symptoms of FD of the jaw range from asymptomatic to dental anomalies, pain and facial asymmetry. Due to its resemblance to other fibro-osseous bone lesions, misdiagnosis often occurs and can lead to inadequate treatment. Particularly in the jaw, this lesion does not become quiescent during puberty, making fundamental knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of FD crucial. Mutational analysis and nonsurgical approaches offer new diagnostic and therapeutic options. In this review, we examine the advances and the difficulties of the diagnosis and the various treatment modalities of FD of the jaw in order to capture the current scientific knowledge on this bone disease.

Abstract
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a variant of the ossifying fibroma and includes two histopathological subtypes: trabecular and psammomatoid. Psammomatoid JOF (PJOF) in craniofacial structures should be distinguished from other fibro-osseous lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia (FD), considering the difference in the treatment protocols. Here, we present a rare case of PJOF that was initially misdiagnosed as a case of FD and emphasize the importance of considering JOF in the differential diagnosis of patients with craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions. A 4-year-old boy demonstrated progressive enlargement of the zygomaticomaxillary area on his left side for the last 6 months. The patient was diagnosed as a case of FD based on the clinical features and radiographic findings, and was operated considering the rapid progression. To achieve facial symmetry, contouring of the zygomatic bone and arch was performed. However, the patient demonstrated rapid enlargement at the 3-month postoperative follow-up. The decision was made to surgically remove the tumor due to visual field impairment. Intraoperatively, a rubbery mass, which was separated from the surrounding cortical bone, was identified and excised. The lesion was confirmed as PJOF by histopathological examination. The possibility of PJOF should not be ruled out in the differential diagnosis of patients with fibrous-osseous lesions. In the event of suspected PJOF, accurate diagnosis should be made through definitive biopsy.

Abstract
Background Pediatric benign fibro-osseous lesions of the nose and paranasal sinuses are considered rare neoplastic entities. These fibro-osseous lesions are difficult to accomplish owing to the multifaceted anatomy of the skull base in addition to the closeness to neurovascular configurations. Objective The study aimed to study different clinical presentations, radiological manifestations, surgical management, and consequences of different benign fibro-osseous lesions in the pediatric age groups. Methods and Settings. This is a case series study of a single-center experience. Results Four different cases were presented and discussed (osteoma, fibrous dysplasia, and ossifying fibroma. Conclusion We reported four different cases of osteoma, ossifying fibroma, and fibrous dysplasia. All of these cases were managed endoscopically with no postoperative complications. Endoscopic management is considered highly effective with reduced morbidity. Preoperative radiographic studies are highly essential for diagnosis and operative planning.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disease caused by GNAS mutation in skeletal stem cells, typically originating from and worsening in childhood. Till now, no cure for FD exists despite the well-recognized etiology. Studies have demonstrated that osteoclastogenesis hyperactivity is caused by elevated RANKL expression, making RANKL inhibition a potential therapy. Although a human monoclonal anti-RANKL antibody, denosumab, has been used in FD patients, the effects and mechanisms of RANKL inhibition for FD treatment require assessment. Denosumab is expensive and can only be injected. Therefore, formulating an oral-administered, cost-effective medicine is encouraged. In the current study, we evaluated the effects of a small-molecule RANKL inhibitor, AS2676293, on a transgenic FD mouse model. AS2676293 effectively suppressed osteoclastogenesis and halted FD progression. The pre-existing bone defects were primarily replaced by newly formed mineralized bone after two weeks of AS2676293 administration. The potent RANKL inhibitory effect and easier route of delivery make AS2676293 a promising target therapy of FD. Results from our study suggested that RANKL inhibition is effective in halting FD progression and promoting bone remineralization, which could benefit the patients with early onset of FD.

Abstract
(1) Background: Many radiolucent jaw lesions exist, and they often show a radiographic resemblance, rendering diagnosis a challenging act. Closely related lesions should be frequently mentioned together in the academic literature, which might be helpful for junior practitioners in determining their differential diagnosis. The usefulness of bibliometric analysis in this respect has yet to be demonstrated. (2) Methods: This study evaluated academic publications on radiolucent jaw lesions, as indexed by the Web of Science Core Collection database. The mentions of radiolucent jaw lesions were extracted from the complete bibliographic records of the publications, and co-word analyses were conducted with the aid of VOSviewer. (3) Results: Based on 1897 papers, visualization maps were synthesized to evaluate co-occurrences of the radiolucent jaw lesions. Ameloblastoma was frequently mentioned together with odontogenic keratocyst, dentigerous cyst, and radicular cyst. Osseous dysplasia was co-mentioned with osteomyelitis, ossifying fibroma, odontoma, fibrous dysplasia, and apical periodontitis. (4) Conclusions: The co-word analysis, a form of bibliometric analysis, could demonstrate a relatedness of radiolucent jaw lesions that could be considered at differential diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia (FD) and cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) are the most common gnathic fibro-osseous lesions. These diseases exhibit remarkable overlap of several clinicopathological aspects and differential diagnosis depends on the combination of histopathological, radiographic and clinical aspects. Their molecular landscape remain poorly characterized and herein we assessed their proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles. METHODS The quantitative differences in protein profile of FD and COF were assessed by proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Pathway enrichment analyses with differentialy regulated proteins were performed. RESULTS FD and COF exhibited differential regulation of pathways related to extracellular matrix organization, cell adhesion, and platelet and erythrocytes activities. Additionally, these lesions demonstrated distinct abundance of proteins involved in osteoblastic differentiation and tumorigenesis and differential abundance of phosphorylation of Ser61 of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). CONCLUSIONS In summary, despite the morphological similarity between these diseases, our results demonstrated that COF and DF present numerous quantitative differences in their proteomic profiles.These findings suggest that these fibro-osseous lesions trigger distinct molecular mechanisms during their pathogenesis. Moreover, some proteins identified in our analysis could serve as potential biomarkers for differential diagnosis of these diseases after further validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare genetic bone disorder resulting in an overproduction of cAMP leading to a structurally unsound tissue, caused by a genetic mutation in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein gene (GNAS). In order to better understand this disease, several animal models have been developed with different strategies and features. OBJECTIVE Conduct a systematic review to analyze and compare animal models with the causative mutation and features of FD. METHODS A PRISMA search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science. Studies reporting an in vivo model of FD that expressed the causative mutation were included for analysis. Models without the causative mutation, but developed an FD phenotype and models of FD cell implantation were included for subanalysis. RESULTS Seven unique models were identified. The models were assessed and compared for their face validity, construct validity, mosaicism, and induction methods. This was based on the features of clinical FD that were reported within the categories of: macroscopic features, imaging, histology and histomorphometry, histochemical and cellular markers, and blood/urine markers. LIMITATIONS None of the models reported all features of FD and some features were only reported in one model. This made comparing models a challenge, but indicates areas where further research is necessary. CONCLUSION The benefits and disadvantages of every model were assessed from a practical and scientific standpoint. While all published reports lacked complete data, the models have nonetheless informed our understanding of FD and provided meaningful information to guide researchers in bench and clinical research.

Abstract
Background: Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaw represent a rare, benign group of lesions that share similar clinical, radiological, and histopathological features and are characterized by progressive, variable replacement of healthy bone tissue by fibrous connective tissue. Methods: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the incidence of fibro-osseous lesions and to reassess the efficacy of case-specific treatment management from a clinical, radiological, and histopathological perspective based on 14 years of data. Results: Forty-four patients with a radiological and/or histopathological diagnosis of benign FOLs were identified and re-evaluated. Cemento-osseous dysplasia was the most common group of FOLs present in our patient cohort (45%), followed by ossifying fibroma (39%) and fibrous dysplasia (16%). The diagnostic imaging technique of choice was CBCT (68%), followed by PAN (18%), with most patients (95 %) additionally undergoing biopsy. The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 40.54 ± 13.7 years, with most lesions being located in the mandible (86%), with females being predominantly affected (73%). Conclusion: An interdisciplinary approach that analyzes all case-specific factors, including demographic data, medical history, intraoperative findings, and, most importantly, histopathological and radiological features, is essential for an accurate diagnosis and key to avoiding inappropriate treatment.

Abstract
Fibro-osseous lesions are a poorly defined category of conditions affecting the jaws and craniofacial bones, and include developmental lesions, reactive or dysplastic lesions, and neoplasms. Fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma are the 2 main types of fibro-osseous lesions affecting the jaw, and ossifying fibroma is a true benign neoplasm of the bone-forming tissues with several well-recognized variants ranging from innocuous to extensively aggressive lesions. However, multiple simultaneous fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw bones involving all quadrants are exceedingly rare. One such case diagnosed by conventional radiography and computed tomography is discussed here.

Abstract
Background The rarity of juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) and lack of cytogenetic studies prompted us to report a novel SETD2 gene mutation in a benign odontogenic tumour. Case presentation A 21-year-old man presented with a hard, expanded mandibular cortex. Computed tomography revealed multilocular radiopacity in the mandible; this was reconstructed via segmental mandibulectomy using a vascularised iliac crest flap. Based on the clinical and histological findings, we diagnosed JPOF associated with an aneurysmal bone cyst. Microscopically, the solid area was characterised by many rounded or angular ossicles in a cellular fibrous stroma. The stromal cells were spindle-like or stellate. Next-generation sequencing detected a frame shift mutation of the SETD2 gene, while the copy number was normal. Conclusions Our findings suggest further genetic studies should be performed to assess whether this mutation is related to tumour genesis.

Copy number alteration profiling facilitates differential diagnosis between ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia of the jaws. Int J Oral Sci 2021; 13:21. [PMID: 34188021 PMCID: PMC8242074 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-021-00127-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Ossifying fibroma (OF) and fibrous dysplasia (FD) are two fibro-osseous lesions with overlapping clinicopathological features, making diagnosis challenging. In this study, we applied a whole-genome shallow sequencing approach to facilitate differential diagnosis via precise profiling of copy number alterations (CNAs) using minute amounts of DNA extracted from morphologically correlated microdissected tissue samples. Freshly frozen tissue specimens from OF (n = 29) and FD (n = 28) patients were obtained for analysis. Lesion fibrous tissues and surrounding normal tissues were obtained by laser capture microdissection (LCM), with ~30–50 cells (5 000–10 000 µm2) per sample. We found that the rate of recurrent CNAs in OF cases was much higher (44.8%, 13 of 29) than that in FD cases (3.6%, 1 of 28). Sixty-nine percent (9 of 13) of the CNA-containing OF cases involved segmental amplifications and deletions on Chrs 7 and 12. We also identified eight CNA-associated genes (HILPDA, CALD1, C1GALT1, MICALL2, PHF14, AIMP2, MDM2, and CDK4) with amplified expression, which was consistent with the copy number changes. We further confirmed a jaw lesion with a previous uncertain diagnosis due to its ambiguous morphological features and the absence of GNAS mutation as OF based on the typical Chr 12 amplification pattern in its CNA profile. Moreover, analysis of a set of longitudinal samples collected from an individual with a cellular lesion in suspicion of OF at the first surgery, recurrence and the latest malignant transformation revealed identical CNA patterns at the three time points, suggesting that copy number profiling can be used as an important tool to identify borderline lesions or lesions with malignant potential. Overall, CNA profiling of fibro-osseous lesions can greatly improve differential diagnosis between OF and FD and help predict disease progression.

Ossifying Fibromas of the Head and Neck Region: A Clinicopathological Study of 45 Cases. Head Neck Pathol 2021; 16:248-256.

Abstract
Ossifying fibromas of the head and neck region are classified as cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) (odontogenic origin), and two types of juvenile ossifying fibromas: juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF), and juvenile psammomatous ossifying fibroma (JPOF). The potential for recurrence in JTOF and JPOF and the discovery of newer molecular signatures necessitates accurate histological classification. Over 12 years (2005-2017), a total of 45 patients with 51 tumours were retrieved and reviewed for clinic-pathological features from the archives of a tertiary care oncology centre. Of 45 cases, COF, JTOF and JPOF comprised 13 (28.9%), 11 (24.4%) and 18 (40%) cases respectively. Three cases were unclassifiable. M: F ratio was 1:3.3, 1.1:1, 2:1 for COF, JTOF and JPOF respectively with an age range of 6-66 years (mean: 24.6, median; 18.1 years). The most common site for COF was mandible, for JTOF was maxilla, and for JPOF was ethmoid sinus. One case of mixed JTOF and JPOF histology was seen. Aneurysmal bone cyst-like areas were seen in 26.6% of cases, most commonly in JPOF. Follow up was available in 23 cases, and ranged from 4 to 207 months. Three cases of JPOF had a recurrence and one patient with JTOF had residual disease after surgery. One case of COF demonstrated increased parathyroid hormone levels. COF, JTOF, and JPOF are clinically, radiologically and histologically distinct entities. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. JPOF has a higher incidence of recurrence as compared to JTOF and COF and hence needs a more aggressive follow-up.

Abstract
"Cementifying fibroma" is a benign tumor of the fibroblastic tissue containing masses of cementum-like calcified tissue, usually occurring between the third and fourth decades. Cementifying-ossifying fibromas are rare non-odontogenic, fibro-osseous tumors of the periodontal ligament that arise from the mesodermal germ layer3. We report a 12-year-old male child, who presented with a swelling in the left temporal region near the angle of the left eye. These non-neoplastic, locally destructive tumors present as an osseous lesion involving the mandible, maxilla, zygoma, paranasal sinuses, orbit, and rarely the petromastoid regions. The preoperative diagnosis was not clear even with CT and MRI, and, hence, all fibro-osseous lesions were considered as differential diagnosis. The lesion was surgically resected completely, and the histology confirmed it as a cementifying fibroma. According to the WHO classification, this is a variant of cementifying fibromas, which represent a subgroup of cementomas, that is, fibro-osseous lesions containing cementum. Histologically, these are fibrous tissues with calcified structures resembling bone and cementum. Cranioplasty was done simultaneously, with successful clinical results.

Abstract
Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare and benign nonneoplastic condition of unknown etiology in humans and mammals. An adult female cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) was presented with the following problems: a soft tissue mass on the left frontal area of the head that extended over the left eye, anorexia, lethargy, and emaciation. Computed tomographic imaging and ultrasonography revealed a soft tissue opacity in the left cranial area of the head with multifocal heterogeneous opacities and foci of mineralization. Cytological, histopathological, and immunohistochemistry examinations were performed on biopsy samples from tissue collected from the mass. Following surgical removal of the cranial mass the patient was treated with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and antibiotic medication. The surgical site healed with no complications and through follow-up examinations there were no signs of reoccurrence of the abnormal tissue for 2 months. Through cytological and histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry testing of the submitted tissue, a diagnosis of osteofibrous dysplasia was determined.

Abstract
Introduction: Bone biopsies have been obtained for many centuries and are one of the oldest known medical procedures in history. Despite the introduction of new noninvasive radiographic imaging techniques and genetic analyses, bone biopsies are still valuable in the diagnosis of bone diseases. Advanced techniques for the assessment of bone quality in bone biopsies, which have emerged during the last decades, allows in-depth tissue analyses beyond structural changes visible in bone histology. In this review, we give an overview of the application and advantages of the advanced techniques for the analysis of bone biopsies in the clinical setting of various rare metabolic bone diseases. Method: A systematic literature search on rare metabolic bone diseases and analyzing techniques of bone biopsies was performed in PubMed up to 2019 week 34. Results: Advanced techniques for the analysis of bone biopsies were described for rare metabolic bone disorders including Paget's disease of bone, osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, PLS3 X-linked osteoporosis, Loeys-Diets syndrome, osteopetrosis, Erdheim-Chester disease, and Cherubism. A variety of advanced available analytical techniques were identified that may help to provide additional detail on cellular, structural, and compositional characteristics in rare bone diseases complementing classical histopathology. Discussion: To date, these techniques have only been used in research and not in daily clinical practice. Clinical application of bone quality assessment techniques depends upon several aspects such as availability of the technique in hospitals, the existence of reference data, and a cooperative network of researchers and clinicians. The evaluation of rare metabolic bone disorders requires a repertoire of different methods, owing to their distinct bone tissue characteristics. The broader use of bone material obtained from biopsies could provide much more information about pathophysiology or treatment options and establish bone biopsies as a valuable tool in rare metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: The benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL) are characterized by replacement of the normal bone by cellular fibrous tissue containing various forms of ossification. They encompass common clinical, radiologic and histopathological features and hence pose considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to clinicians and pathologists. Objective: To analyze the clinico-pathological and radiological features of BFOLs of the jaws in patients treated at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania. Material and methods: A retrospective study of files of patients who were diagnosed with BFOLs from January 2011 to December 2013 was done. The collected information included data on demographic characteristics, the duration of the lesion, location of the lesion, presence of swelling, associated symptoms and reported radiological and histological features. Results: A total of 98 patient's records were retrieved. There was a predominance of females (59, 60.2%), with a male to female ratio of 1:1.5. The patient's age at presentation ranged from 5 years to 75 years with a mean age of 29.81 ± 15.28 years. Four types of BFOLs were encountered. Ossifying fibroma were the most frequent (61.2%), followed by fibrous dysplasia (19.4%). Maxilla was more affected than the mandible. Majority (>70%) of the BFOLs were radio-opaque. The common histological features in all four types of BFOL included presence of: woven bone in fibrous stroma, giant cells, loose collagen and foci of hemorrhage. Conclusion: In this sample, BFOLs, were slightly more prevalent in females than males, affecting individuals below 40 years at large. They showed several overlapping clinical, radiological and histological features; thus a combination of different modalities seems necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Differential diagnosis among fibrous dysplasias, cemento-ossifying fibromas and cemento-osseous dysplasias is difficult, since there is considerable overlap of histologic features, but also extremely important, since they differ greatly in etiology, clinical behaviour, prognosis and terapeuthic approach. There is no data about the use of immunohistochemistry, a viable and accessible technique, for this purpose. The objective of this study was to investigate, comparatively, the immunohistochemical expression of major non-collagenous proteins (osteonectin [ON], osteopontin [OP], bone sialoprotein [BSP] and osteocalcin [OC]) of mineralized tissue extracellular matrix in 22 cases of fibrous dysplasias, 16 of cemento-ossifying fibromas and 16 of cemento-osseous dysplasias. ON maintained the same expression profile in all cases; the staining for OP was negative in fusiform cells producing cementoid globules and weak, as well as heterogeneous, in high mineralized matrixes; there was negativity for BSP in cementoid globules and in the fusiform cells that produce them, differently from the strong positive expression found in the majority of bone trabeculae and their peripheral cuboidal osteoblasts; and finally, the immuno-reactivity for OC was weak, except in cuboidal osteoblasts and osteocytes. We can conclude that the nature of mineralized structure and the cellular phenotype are much more responsible for variability in immunohistochemical profile than the type of lesion (fibrous dysplasias, cemento-ossifying fibromas and cemento-osseous dysplasias) which makes difficult, at least for a while, the use of these proteins with diagnosis purpose.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare condition commonly involving the jaws. While FD has a typical clinical and histological presentation, considerable variation exists. Moreover, overlap of features with other disorders is possible. This study serves to characterize the features of a large case series of FD of the jaws. With IRB approval, the University of Florida Oral Pathology Biopsy Service archive was retrospectively searched from 1994 to 2015 for cases of FD. Epidemiological data, location, duration, clinical and radiographic appearance, clinical impression and exact microscopic diagnosis were recorded. The average age was 37.3 years (range 7-87 years) with majority of cases in females (67.5%). The most common ethnicity was Caucasian. Maxillary location was predominant (59%), followed by mandible (38%) and multiple locations (3%). Expansion was reported in 78% of cases. Radiographically, most cases exhibited ground glass opacity, however some presented with a mottled or mixed radiopaque/radiolucent appearance. Histologically, a wide variation in terms of stromal cellularity, presence of osteoblastic rimming, and presence of calcified material mimicking cemento-osseous dysplasia was observed. Clinicians and pathologists should be cognizant of the significant variability in clinical, histopathologic, and radiographic presentation of FD, which may pose a diagnostic challenge.

Abstract
Background Head and neck surgical pathology has been shown to be prone to histopathologic diagnostic error that can adversely impact patient care due to inappropriate management. Sinonasal tumors, in particular, present a diagnostic challenge given the relative rarity and diversity in histology and thus may have higher rates of discordant histology. Objective The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of discrepancy between preoperative and postoperative diagnoses of sinonasal tumors. Methods Retrospective chart review was performed on 52 patients treated for sinonasal tumors between January 2013 and December 2016. Initial diagnosis on preoperative biopsy was compared to postoperative diagnosis rendered at a single tertiary care referral center. A discrepant diagnosis was regarded as any change in diagnosis that resulted in further refinement of therapy or prognosis. Results Eleven (21.2%) patients had discrepancy between the preliminary pathology and postsurgical diagnosis. Of these diagnoses, four involved a change from a benign to a more aggressive benign or malignant process, three involved reclassification of a malignant tumor to a more aggressive histology, and four involved change from an aggressive process to benign histology. In all 11 cases, alteration in management strategy was rendered. The majority of discordant diagnoses were of fibro-osseous lesions and small round blue cell tumors. Conclusion Sinonasal tumors exhibit a high degree of discordance from preoperative to postoperative diagnosis. Critical decision-making should be reserved until careful review of operative specimens is performed to minimize patient morbidity and unnecessary interventions.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a non-neoplastic developmental process that affects the craniofacial bones, characterized by painless enlargement as a result of bone substitution by abnormal fibrous tissue. Postzygotic somatic activating mutations in the GNAS1 gene cause fibrous dysplasia and have been extensively investigated, as well as being helpful in the differential diagnosis of the disease. Fibrous dysplasia may involve one (monostotic) or multiple bones (polyostotic), sporadically or in association with McCune-Albright syndrome, Jeffe-Lichenstein syndrome, or Mazabreud syndrome. This review summarizes the current knowledge on fibrous dysplasia, emphasizing the value of integrating the understanding of its molecular pathogenesis with the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features. In addition, we address important aspects related to the differential diagnosis and patient management.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a disease caused by postzygotic activating mutations of GNAS (R201C and R201H) that encode the α-subunit of the Gs stimulatory protein. FD is characterized by the development of areas of abnormal fibroosseous tissue in the bones, resulting in skeletal deformities, fractures, and pain. Despite the well-defined genetic alterations underlying FD, whether GNAS activation is sufficient for FD initiation and the molecular and cellular consequences of GNAS mutations remains largely unresolved, and there are no currently available targeted therapeutic options for FD. Here, we have developed a conditional tetracycline (Tet)-inducible animal model expressing the GαsR201C in the skeletal stem cell (SSC) lineage (Tet-GαsR201C/Prrx1-Cre/LSL-rtTA-IRES-GFP mice), which develops typical FD bone lesions in both embryos and adult mice in less than 2 weeks following doxycycline (Dox) administration. Conditional GαsR201C expression promoted PKA activation and proliferation of SSCs along the osteogenic lineage but halted their differentiation to mature osteoblasts. Rather, as is seen clinically, areas of woven bone admixed with fibrous tissue were formed. GαsR201C caused the concomitant expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (Rankl) that led to marked osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. GαsR201C expression ablation by Dox withdrawal resulted in FD-like lesion regression, supporting the rationale for Gαs-targeted drugs to attempt FD cure. This model, which develops FD-like lesions that can form rapidly and revert on cessation of mutant Gαs expression, provides an opportunity to identify the molecular mechanism underlying FD initiation and progression and accelerate the development of new treatment options.

Abstract
Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare benign tumor of the craniofacial bones that can reach considerable and disfiguring dimensions if left untreated. Although the clinicopathological characteristics of OF are well established, the underlying etiology has remained largely unknown. Our work indicates that Men1-a tumor suppressor gene responsible of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1-is critical for OF formation and shows that mice with targeted disruption of Men1 in osteoblasts (Men1Runx2Cre) develop multifocal OF in the mandible with a 100% penetrance. Using lineage-tracing analysis, we demonstrate that loss of Men1 arrests stromal osteoprogenitors in OF at the osterix-positive pre-osteoblastic differentiation stage. Analysis of Men1-lacking stromal spindle cells isolated from OF (OF-derived MSCs (OFMSCs)) revealed a downregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor Cdkn1a, consistent with an increased proliferation rate. Intriguingly, the re-expression of Men1 in Men1-deficient OFMSCs restored Cdkn1a expression and abrogated cellular proliferation supporting the tumor-suppressive role of Men1 in OF. Although our work presents the first evidence of Men1 in OF development, it further provides the first genetic mouse model of OF that can be used to better understand the molecular pathogenesis of these benign tumors and to potentially develop novel treatment strategies.

Abstract
It is well known that fibrous dysplasia (FD) is characterized by the presence of activating mutations involving G-nucleotide binding protein-α subunit (GNAS) involving codon R201 and rarely codon 227 with a mutation frequency between 45% and 93%. Herein, we investigate the sensitivity of detection of GNAS mutations in exons 8 and 9 using a standard and a highly sensitive locked nucleic acid polymerase chain reaction (LNA-PCR) sequencing in 52 cases of FD. In view of the recent report of GNAS mutations in a small number of low-grade osteosarcomas, we also tested in addition 12 cases of low-grade osteosarcomas. GNAS exon 8 mutations p.R201H (31%), p.R201C (15%), and p.R201S (2%) were identified in 50% of FD cases. LNA-PCR sequencing identified only 1 positive case within the mutation negative cases tested by standard PCR and Sanger sequencing. No mutations were identified in any of the low-grade osteosarcomas by standard and LNA-PCR sequencing. There was no association between age, site, size, specimen type, and mutational status. No exon 9 or codon 227 mutations were identified in any of tested cases. There was a significant difference in the sensitivity of the assay between decalcified and nondecalcified FDs (31% vs. 70%, P=0.002). LNA-PCR has no added value in enhancing detection sensitivity for GNAS mutations in FD. In addition to decalcification, innate somatic mosaicism contributes to the decreased sensitivity in mutation detection.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein/α-subunit (GNAS) mutations are involved in fibrous dysplasia (FD) pathogenesis. Here, we analyzed GNAS mutations in FD which were performed by pyrosequencing DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. The mutation detection rate was determined in FD specimens with and without decalcification. GNAS mutation was identified in 28 cases out of 87 FDs (32.18%) [p.R201C (N = 14) and p.R201H (N = 14)]. GNAS mutation was more likely to occur in polyostotic FD (7/28, 25.0%); FD without GNAS mutation was mostly monostotic form (56/59, 94.9%, P = 0.011). The G > A (R201H) mutation was more frequent in polyostotic FD (6/14 patients, 42.9%) than the C > T (R201C) mutation (1/14, 7.1%) (P = 0.077). We divided the FD cases into two subgroups: tissue specimens that were not decalcified (N = 35, 40.2%), and tissue specimens that were decalcified (N = 52, 59.8%). GNAS mutation was more frequently identified in FD specimens that were not subjected to decalcification (23/35, 65.7%) than in FD specimens that were decalcified (5/52, 9.6%) (P = 0.001). In conclusion, mutation analysis of GNAS by pyrosequencing has diagnostic value in FFPE tissue of patients with FD, especially in specimens that were not decalcified. The R201H substitution mutation of GNAS may be involved in the pathogenesis of polyostotic FD.

Abstract
Background The tumor suppressor gene CDC73 was found to be associated with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT), which is characterized by parathyroid adenoma or carcinoma, ossifying fibroma (OF) of the jaws, and renal and uterine lesions. Mutations in CDC73 have also been frequently detected in sporadic parathyroid carcinomas and renal tumors. However, the prevalence and range of CDC73 mutations in sporadic OFs have not been established. Methods We directly sequenced coding and flanking splice junctional regions of CDC73 in 40 cases of sporadic OF of the jaws. We also used immunohistochemistry to detect parafibromin, the protein product of CDC73, in those cases. Results Two novel CDC73 mutations were identified in 2 of the 40 cases (5 %). Both were somatic mutations located in exon 1 of the coding region. Strong parafibromin expression was detected in all 40 cases, irrespective of the presence of CDC73 mutations. Conclusions Mutations inCDC73 were rare in sporadic OF of the jaws, but may affect the pathogenesis of a small subset of tumors of this type.

Abstract
Currently, central cemento-ossifying fibroma is classified by the World Health Organization as a primary bone-forming tumor of the jaws. However, histopathologically, it is often indistinguishable from cemento-osseous dysplasias in that it forms osteoid and cementicles (cementum droplets) in varying proportions. It is believed that pluripotent cells within the periodontal membrane can be stimulated to produce either osteoid or woven bone and cementicles when stimulated. If this is true, cemento-ossifying fibroma would be better classified as a primary odontogenic neoplasm arising from the periodontal ligament. Cemento-ossifying fibromas also do not occur in the long bones. The present report compares several entities that fall within the diagnostic realm of benign fibro-osseous lesions and reviews the evidence for reclassifying central cemento-ossifying fibroma as a primary odontogenic neoplasm.

Abstract
The maxilla and mandible are among the most difficult areas of the body to image with magnetic resonance techniques owing to the geometry of the jaws as well as the frequent susceptibility artifacts from dental restorations or appliances. This chapter briefly reviews the essentials of imaging techniques and basic anatomy and discusses the most common inflammatory conditions, benign and malignant lesions of the jaws, and temporomandibular joint. This review emphasizes and illustrates specific magnetic resonance features that facilitate characterization and diagnostic differentiation of these lesions. As the focus of this review is on the differentiation of infection and benign and malignant disease, a discussion of internal derangements and associated inflammatory disorders of the temporomandibular joint is beyond the scope of this review and is not discussed.

GNAS mutations are not detected in parosteal and low-grade central osteosarcomas. Mod Pathol 2015; 28:1336-42.

Abstract
Parosteal osteosarcoma, low-grade central osteosarcoma, and fibrous dysplasia share similar histological features that may pose a diagnostic challenge. The detection of GNAS mutations in primary bone tumors has been useful in clinical practice for diagnosing fibrous dysplasia. However, the recent report of GNAS mutations being detected in a significant proportion of parosteal osteosarcoma challenges the specificity of this mutation. As the number of cases reported in this study was small we set out to determine if these results could be reproduced. We studied 97 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded low-grade osteosarcomas from 90 patients including 62 parosteal osteosarcomas, of which MDM2 amplification was detected in 79%, 11 periosteal osteosarcomas and 24 low-grade central osteosarcoma samples. The mutational status of GNAS was analyzed in codons p.R201, p.Q227, and other less common GNAS alterations by bidirectional Sanger sequencing and/or next generation sequencing using the Life Technologies Ion Torrent platform. GNAS mutations were not detected in any of the low-grade osteosarcomas from which informative DNA was extracted. Our findings therefore support prior observations that GNAS mutations are highly specific for fibrous dysplasia and occur rarely, if ever, in parosteal and other low-grade osteosarcomas.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical, radiographic and microscopic features of a case series of ossifying fibroma (OF) of the jaws. For the study, all cases with OF diagnosis from the files of the Oral Pathology Laboratory, University of Ribeirão Preto, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, were reviewed. Clinical data were obtained from the patient files and the radiographic features were evaluated in each case. All cases were reviewed microscopically to confirm the diagnosis. Eight cases were identified, 5 in females and 3 in males. The mean age of the patients was 33.7 years and most lesions (7 cases) occurred in the mandible. Radiographically, all lesions appeared as unilocular images and most of them (5 cases) were of mixed type. The mean size of the tumor was 3.1 cm and 3 cases caused displacement of the involved teeth. Microscopically, all cases showed several bone-like mineralized areas, immersed in the cellular connective tissue. From the 8 cases, 5 underwent surgical excision and 1 patient refused treatment. In the remaining 2 cases, this information was not available. In conclusion, OF occurs more commonly in women in the fourth decade of life, frequently as a mixed radiographic image in the mandible. Coherent differential diagnoses are important to guide the most adequate clinical approach. A correlation between clinical, imaginological and histopathological features is the key to establish the correct diagnosis.

Abstract
Imaging of lesions within the maxilla and mandible is often fraught with difficulty owing to the similarity in the imaging appearance of a diverse array of pathological processes. Principally, lesions arise from either odontogenic sources or from primary bone lesions. The response of the cancellous and cortical bone to pathologic insult can be expressed either through an osteolytic or an osteoblastic response; thus the majority of lesions within the jaws can be classified as cystic or lytic appearing, sclerotic, or a mixture of the two. This article will review the imaging features of the most common cysts, fibro-osseous lesions, benign and malignant neoplasms, and highlight those features key to the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fibro-osseous lesions are a diverse group of bone disorders and include developmental, reactive or dysplastic diseases and neoplasms. They share overlapping clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features and demonstrate a wide range of biological behaviour. AIM To evaluate the characteristics, treatment and outcome of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. PATIENTS AND METHOD All patients with fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws treated at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences from 2007 to 2013 were included in this study. RESULTS Six males and four females were treated. Juvenile ossifying fibroma was most often encountered (40 %), and the mandible was the most frequent location (70 %). Main clinical feature in most of the cases was a painless expansile swelling with facial asymmetry, and radiologically mixed (radiolucent and radiopaque lesions) were seen in majority of cases. All cases were surgically treated and histopathologically confirmed. Segmental ostectomy was performed in six cases; maxillectomy was done in one case and excision along with margin in three cases. Mean follow-up was of 3.3 years with no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Fibro-osseous lesions, although sharing similar microscopic features, exhibit a variety of clinical behavior rendering their treatment highly individualized. Radical treatment is the choice to achieve an outcome without recurrence.

Abstract
Accurate and early diagnosis of benign fibroosseous lesions is important because the treatment and resulting outcomes of each differ. Juvenile ossifying fibromas typically occur in young patients and grow rapidly with a high recurrence rate. Their monostotic nature has previously differentiated these tumors from other fibroosseous lesions. We describe an interesting and extremely rare case of polyostotic juvenile ossifying fibromas in a 14-year-old boy with involvement of the maxilla and mandible. The available literature on juvenile ossifying fibromas is also briefly reviewed. When diagnosing a polyostotic fibroosseous lesion, it is important to not exclude the possibility of juvenile ossifying fibromas because this may warrant a different treatment.

Abstract
Arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus is a normal anatomical variant. The aim of this report is to define cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) characteristics of arrested pneumatization of sphenoid sinus in an effort to help differentiate it from invasive or lytic skull base lesions. Two cases are presented with incidental findings. Both studies, acquired for other diagnostic purposes, demonstrated unique osseous patterns that were eventually deemed to be anatomic variations in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms although the pattern of bone loss and remodeling was diagnosed as pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus by a panel of medical and maxillofacial radiologists following contrasted advanced imaging. It is important to differentiate arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus from lesions, such as arachnoid granulations, acoustic neuroma, glioma, metastatic lesions, meningioma, or chordoma, to prevent unnecessary biopsies or exploratory surgeries that would consequently reduce treatment costs and alleviate anxiety in patients.

Chromosome 12 long arm rearrangement covering MDM2 and RASAL1 is associated with aggressive craniofacial juvenile ossifying fibroma and extracranial psammomatoid fibro-osseous lesions. Mod Pathol 2015; 28:48-56. [PMID: 24925056 DOI: 10.1038/modpathol.2014.80] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2013] [Revised: 01/31/2014] [Accepted: 04/04/2014] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
To evaluate the diagnostic value of MDM2 status in craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions, we investigated MDM2 expression by immunohistochemistry and analyzed MDM2 amplification by qPCR in 30 cases of ossifying fibroma (including 13 cases of the juvenile variant) and 17 cases of fibrous dysplasia. Two cases of uncommon extragnathic psammomatoid fibrous dysplasia and a mixed control group of 15 cases of low-grade osteosarcoma and 15 cases of well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcoma were included. MDM2 amplification was found in 33% of ossifying fibromas (peak of 69% for the juvenile variant) and in 12% of fibrous dysplasia, in none of which was MDM2 overexpressed. All control cases exhibited MDM2 amplification and overexpression. To investigate possible polysomy of chromosome 12, we studied RASAL1 amplification, a gene telomeric to MDM2 on the long arm of chromosome 12. RASAL1 amplification was reported in all benign fibro-osseous lesions exhibiting MDM2 amplification but not in controls. Simultaneous amplification of these two genes was significantly higher in juvenile ossifying fibromas compared with fibrous dysplasia (P=0.004), non-juvenile ossifying fibromas (P=0.001), and all other benign craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions combined (P=0.0001). Of the nine cases of juvenile ossifying fibroma exhibiting amplification, three were locally invasive and four were recurrent, suggesting aggressive disease. The two cases of extragnathic psammomatoid fibrous dysplasia also showed MDM2 and RASAL1 amplification with no MDM2 overexpression. This large chromosome 12 rearrangement, spanning MDM2 and RASAL1, is the first recurrent molecular abnormality to be reported in juvenile ossifying fibroma. It may represent both a molecular diagnostic marker and a characteristic of more aggressive forms with a higher risk of recurrence. Finally, the presence of this rearrangement in extragnathic psammomatoid fibro-osseous lesions mimicking ossifying fibromas might reflect a common molecular pathway in their pathogenesis and calls into question the classification of such lesions within fibrous dysplasia.

Abstract
Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial skeleton (BFOL) are a variant group of intraosseous disease processes that share similar microscopic features characterized by hypercellular fibroblastic stroma containing various combinations of bone or cementum-like tissue and other calcified structures [1-6]. Whereas some are diagnosable histologically, most require a combined assessment of clinical, microscopic and radiologic features. Some BFOL of the craniofacial complex are unique to that location whereas others are encountered in bones from other regions. Reactive, neoplastic, developmental and dysplastic pathologic processes are included under the rubric of BFOL and treatment varies from disease to disease. This review will discuss the clinical, microscopic and radiologic aspects of the more important types of BFOL of the craniofacial complex with updated information on underlying genetic and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of disease. Four main groups of BFOLs will be addressed.

Abstract
Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, locally aggressive, solitary tumor microscopically composed of well-differentiated myofibroblasts with abundant dense collagen deposition. The most common sites are the long tubular bones and mandible. To our knowledge, only five cases of DF in the ribs have been reported. Here, we report a case of DF in this rare location with unusual radiological findings. A 40-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of swelling of the right chest wall. Radiographs revealed a mass at the right 9th rib, and computed tomography demonstrated a mass of 14 × 12 × 8 cm at the right 9th rib with expanded cystic change and marked calcification that appeared to have arisen from the bone. Open biopsy suggested DF. Total excision was performed, and the chest wall was reconstructed. The surgical specimen was a yellowish tumor with multilocular cystic change containing a viscous liquid. The tumor was composed of a proliferation of less-atypical spindle-shaped cells in a collagenous background. The cystic change was observed in the extra-osseous lesion. No β-catenin cytoplasmic/nuclear accumulation was detected, and no β-catenin or GNAS genetic mutations were detected. A final diagnosis of DF was made on the basis of the pathological and radiological findings. The patient was successfully treated with total excision of the tumor with no evidence of recurrence 6 months after surgery.
