Simple Bone Cyst (hemorrhagic bone cyst, idiopathic bone cavity)
Treatment? |
* Simple curettage
* After surgical exploration, with or without curettage, bone fills in within 6 months * Take periodic radiographs to follow healing * Prognosis is excellent |
|
|
Aneurysmal bone cyst
Treatment? |
* Curettage or enucleation
* Vascularity is venous-like, so bleeding is more easily controlled * Surgical defect usually heals in 6 months * Recurrence is common * Long-term prognosis is good. |
|
|
Paget disease of bone (Osteitis Deformans)
Treatment? |
* Chronic and slowly progressive
* Usually not treated in asymptomatic patients * Calcitonin or bisphosphonates (___dronate) (also used to treat osteoporosis) reduce the activity of osteoclasts, slowing the disease, or cause remission * Periodic new dentures * Increased risk for osteosarcoma - poor prognosis * Central giant cell tumors/granulomas may also develop |
|
|
Central Giant Cell Granuloma
Treatment? |
* Aggressive curettage and removal of peripheral bone
* Radical surgery, steroids, calcitonin, interferon * 15-20% recurrence following surgery * Prognosis is good, does not metastasize |
|
|
Cementoblastoma
Treatment? |
* Surgical extraction of tooth and lesion
* Prognosis excellent |
|
|
Osteosarcoma
Treatment? |
* Radical surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy
* Even now, only a 30-50% 5 year survival rate |
