Osteolytic Lesion of the Maxilla in an Undiagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patient Identified Incidentally by Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy characterized by monoclonal plasma cell proliferation. Jaw lesions are found in nearly 35% of patients with symptomatic myeloma, and lesions occur in the mandible more often than in the maxilla. However, maxillary or mandibular lesions are rarely found as a primary manifestation of the disease. This report describes a case of a 65-year-old Palestinian woman with lytic lesions in the maxilla due to undiagnosed multiple myeloma identified incidentally on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CASE REPORT A 65-year-old Palestinian woman pre

A Case Report on Solitary Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Pleura.

Solitary plasmacytoma is an extremely rare form of plasma cell malignancy that presents as a single mass of monoclonal plasma cells located either intraosseous or extramedullary (extraosseous). Extramedullary plasmacytoma can affect any part of the body, but the most common sites of origin are the head and neck region. The involvement of pleura is very rare. Here, we are enlightening this rare presentation and making readers aware of the clinical presentation and management of this rare malignancy.

Study of a novel Ca/P/S-based cement implanted in the osteoporotic goat spine and its clinical application in preventing adjacent vertebral fractures.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) has been increasing over the last decades. In addition to primary OVCF, the adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF) is a frequent serious complication in OVCF patients receiving percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, resulting in poor long-term outcome and recurrent symptoms. The aim of the present study is to investigate the bone regeneration behavior of a novel Ca/P/S-based resorbable cement (Ezechbone® Cement CBC-400) implanted into surgically created vertebral defects of ovariectomized (OVX) goats. Furthermore, the present study provides a

Osteoporosis Diagnosis and Management: A Review from an Orthopedic Perspective.

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration, both of which lead to increased risk of fracture, disability, institutionalization, and mortality. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) remains the gold standard for evaluating bone mineral density and establishing diagnostic thresholds. However, accurate interpretation requires more than the application of numerical cut-offs. Interpretation requires careful evaluation of graphical bands, artifact recognition, awareness of site discordance, and application of least significan

Challenges in the management of bone metastases: focus on differentiated thyroid cancer and neuroendocrine tumors.

Bone metastases represent an uncommon but clinically significant complication in endocrine malignancies including differentiated thyroid cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Although these malignancies typically follow an indolent course, the development of bone metastases is associated with a worse prognosis and increased risk of skeletal-related events. The optimal strategies for the prevention and management of bone metastases in these patients remain unclear and are largely extrapolated from studies in other solid tumors. This presents a unique clinical challenge as treatment decisions need t

Molecular-Based Treatment Strategies for Osteoporosis: A Literature Review.

Osteoporosis is an unavoidable public health problem in an aging or aged society. Anti-resorptive agents (calcitonin, estrogen, and selective estrogen-receptor modulators, bisphosphonates, anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand antibody along with calcium and vitamin D supplementations) and anabolic agents (parathyroid hormone and related peptide analogs, sclerostin inhibitors) have major roles in current treatment regimens and are used alone or in combination based on the pathological condition. Recent advancements in the molecular understanding of bone metabolism and in bioengin

The Role of Macrophage in the Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with progressive bone loss. The bone loss is associated with an imbalance between bone resorption via osteoclasts and bone formation via osteoblasts. Other cells including T cells, B cells, macrophages, and osteocytes are also involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Different cytokines from activated macrophages can regulate or stimulate the development of osteoclastogenesis-associated bone loss. The fusion of macrophages can form multinucleated osteoclasts and, thus, cause bone resorption via the expression of IL-4 and IL-13. Different cytokines, endoc

A new prediction model for overall survival of elderly patients with solitary bone plasmacytoma: A population-based study.

BackgroundComprehensive studies on the prognosis of solitary bone plasmacytoma (SPB) are lacking, especially in elderly patients with SPB. This study aims to establish a novel nomogram and risk stratification system to predict the overall survival (OS) of elderly patients with SPB.MethodsThe data of elderly patients with SPB from 2000 to 2017 were identified in the SEER database. SPB patients were randomly assigned to the training set (n = 825) and validation set (n = 354). The Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for OS in elderly SPB patients. The nomogr

Diagnostic imaging for spinal disorders in the elderly: a narrative review.

The high prevalence of neck and low back pain in the rapidly aging population is associated with significant increases in health care expenditure. While spinal imaging can be useful to identify less common causes of neck and back pain, overuse and misuse of imaging services has been widely reported. This narrative review aims to provide primary care providers with an overview of available imaging studies with associated potential benefits, adverse effects, and costs for the evaluation of neck and back pain disorders in the elderly population. While the prevalence of arthritis and degenerative

Comprehensive Updates in the Role of Imaging for Multiple Myeloma Management Based on Recent International Guidelines.

The diagnostic and treatment methods of multiple myeloma (MM) have been rapidly evolving owing to advances in imaging techniques and new therapeutic agents. Imaging has begun to play an important role in the management of MM, and international guidelines are frequently updated. Since the publication of 2015 International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria for the diagnosis of MM, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or low-dose whole-body computed tomography (CT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT have entered the mainstream as diagnostic and treatment respons

Chemotherapy- and irradiation-induced bone loss in adults with solid tumors.

It is estimated that bone loss occurs in 70 % of all patients dying from cancer, causing a significant disease burden in cancer patients. Bone loss is caused by cancer itself and its metastases, but also by cancer therapies. Of the cancer therapy-induced bone loss, hormone therapies are best known for their bone damaging abilities. However, chemo- and radiotherapy may result in bone loss too. In this review, direct and indirect effects of various chemotherapies (such as methotrexate, imatinib, and taxanes) that cause bone loss are discussed. Furthermore, we discuss bone loss caused by radiothe

Osteoporosis and the Potential of Cell-Based Therapeutic Strategies.

Osteoporosis, the most common chronic metabolic bone disease, is characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. Nowadays more than 200 million individuals are suffering from osteoporosis and still the number of affected people is dramatically increasing due to an aging population and longer life, representing a major public health problem. Current osteoporosis treatments are mainly designed to decrease bone resorption, presenting serious adverse effects that limit their safety for long-term use. Numerous studies with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have helped to increase the knowl

Sensory nerves: A driver of the vicious cycle in bone metastasis?

Bone is one of the preferential target organs of cancer metastasis. Bone metastasis is associated with various complications, of which bone pain is most common and debilitating. The cancer-associated bone pain (CABP) is induced as a consequence of increased neurogenesis, reprogramming and axonogenesis of sensory nerves (SNs) in harmony with sensitization and excitation of SNs in response to the tumor microenvironment created in bone. Importantly, CABP is associated with increased mortality, of which precise cellular and molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Bone is densely innervated
