fa Osteomas involving the facial skeleton: a report of 2 cases and review of the literature جراحی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery پژوهشي Research Osteomas are benign slow-growing tumors. These lesions are essentially restricted to the craniofacial skeleton and rarely diagnosed in other bones. The etiology is often multifactorial. It could be genetic or congenital, (Gardner syndrome) or related to endocrine disorders, chronic inflammatory processes, or traumas. In this work, the authors wanted to illustrate the correlation between the presence of multiple osteomas in the craniofacial skeleton and Gardner syndrome to underscore the importance of the role of the oral surgeon in the early identification of this pathology. Malignant evolution of intestinal lesions arising from Gardner syndrome can be avoided if diagnosed in an early stage. Two significant clinical cases are described and discussed. In the first one, a diagnosis of Gardner syndrome was made after colonoscopy. <hr><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(12)00119-8/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1519&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Alan S.Herford 10031947532846006955 10031947532846006955 Yes Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California Enrico Stoffella 10031947532846006956 10031947532846006956 No Department of Dental Implants, Fondazione IRCCS Cà Granda, University of Milan, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy Rahuk Tandon 10031947532846006957 10031947532846006957 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California
