Metaphyseal bony outgrowths are a well-recognized feature of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) phenotype, but its genuine frequency, topographic distribution, morphological aspect, and potential implications are not fully established. To better ascertain the frequency and characteristics of osteocartilaginous exostoses in FOP disease, we conducted a cross-sectional radiological study based...
Although radiological diagnosis of Paget's disease of bone (PD) is usually straightforward, monostotic cases may potentially raise specific problems which lead to performing invasive procedures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ascertain whether or not monostotic femoral Paget's disease (MFPD) presentation poses particular diagnostic difficulties which prompt excessive use of excisional...
We aimed to investigate the epidemiological determinants, clinical features, and genetic pattern of FOP in our country by evaluating the entire population of patients identified according to a combination of methods. To achieve this, 24 individuals were confirmed as FOP cases, 17 of whom were alive at the end of 2011 (point prevalence=0.36×10 −6 ). The gender distribution (male/female ratio=13/11)...
Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is one of the most common bone disorders in the western world. PDB is characterized by focal areas of increased osteoclastic bone resorption and bone formation, which leads to the formation of poorly structured bone. These abnormalities of bone turnover and structure predispose affected individuals to various complications including bone pain, deformity, pathological...
