fa Severe destruction of the temporomandibular joint with complete resorption of the condyle associated with synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome رادیولوژی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology پژوهشي Research The synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome consists of a combination of inflammatory bone disorders and dermatologic pathology. Bone lesions as a form of diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis in the mandible occur in the posterior body and ramus. Bone lesions rarely spread to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) where ankylosis may result. Herein we present an unusual case of SAPHO syndrome with TMJ involvement in which severe destruction of the TMJ occurred. We observed an extension of the invasive soft tissue lesion into the infratemporal fossa from the TMJ with complete resorption of the condyle. In contrast to other previously reported cases, in our case the condyle was strongly suspected as the primary site of the bone lesion with subsequent extension to the ramus and infratemporal fossa. The destructive nature and related symptoms resembled a malignant tumor. <hr><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(13)00171-5/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1691&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Yasumitsu Kodama 10031947532846007950 10031947532846007950 Yes Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Ray Tanaka 10031947532846007951 10031947532846007951 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Akira Kurokawa 10031947532846007952 10031947532846007952 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Hisashi Ohnuki 10031947532846007953 10031947532846007953 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Sara Sultana 10031947532846007954 10031947532846007954 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Takafumi Hayashi 10031947532846007955 10031947532846007955 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan Tateyuki Lizuka 10031947532846007956 10031947532846007956 No Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital of Bern, Bern, Switzerland Ritsuo Takagi 10031947532846007957 10031947532846007957 No Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan
