Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous condition that is replacement of normal bone and marrow tissues by cellular fibrous tissue and immature bone, and it is divided into monostotic type and polyostotic type. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involves multiple bones, such as skull, jaw bones, femur and tibia. And it is also divided into two forms: the less severe Jaffe's type and the more severe Albright's syndrome. Clinically, it frequently occurs in the 2nd decade, and occurs more frequently in maxilla than in mandible. And the lesions of fibrous dysplasia tend to become static as skeletal maturity is reached. The authors experienced three cases of polyostosic fibrous dysplasia in the craniofacial area with the complaints of facial asymmetry due to painless swelling. And we discussed the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of these cases with a brief review of the literatures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of c-fos oncogenes in the development of fibrous dysplasia and osteofibrous dysplasia. The immunohistochemical expression of c-fos protein was evaluated in 15 cases of fibrous dysplasia and 8 cases of osteofibrous dysplasia. Ten cases of fibrous dysplasia were weakly positive with c-fos. Six cases of osteofibrous dysplasia were weakly positive and the remaining two cases were strongly positive. The overall expression of c-fos protein is weaker than high-grade osteosarcoma, thus the implication of c-fos protein is little in the development of these tumors. Fibrous dysplasia and osteofibrous dysplasia share some features of characteristic histology and c-fos expression.

Purpose: Malignant degeneration of fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon recognized complication of this disease. Especially, degeneration of fibrous dysplasia to malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) in facial bone is rare and the publications had been limited. The purpose of this report is to share our experience. Methods: A 46-year-old patient with facial fibrous dysplasia visited our clinic for recent facial tingling and swelling. Malignant degeneration of fibrous dysplasia was suspected. Results: Total excision of the mass and adjacent facial bone was performed. Defect was immediately reconstructed with bone graft and bone cement. At a month follow up, metastasis was detected at ipsilateral parotid gland. Superficial parotidectomy and neck dissection was performed. The patient is currently taking chemotherapy. Conclusion: Because of the uncommon presentation of this entity, clinical course of treatment was dependent on other histological types of malignant degeneration. We report this case to share our experience.

A solitary fibrous tumor is a relatively uncommon neoplasm that usually occurs in the pleura but occurs extremely rarely in the oral cavity. Reported herein is a rare case of a solitary fibrous tumor in the buccal cheek mucosa. A 50-year-old man visited the authors' hospital due to a buccal cheek mass whose size had increased. Excisional biopsy was done under local anesthesia. After the excisional biopsy, the patient was diagnosed to have a solitary fibrous tumor. In immunohistochemistry, the patient's solitary fibrous tumor was characterized by the expression of CD34 and CD99 on the neoplastic cells, and negativity for Bcl-2 and S-100. No recurrence or complication occurred for a period of 5 years. The growth of a primary solitary fibrous tumor in the buccal cheek mucosa is extremely rare and has been rarely reported in the South Korean medical literature. A solitary fibrous tumor must be distinguished from other spindle cell tumors. Presented herein is a case of primary solitary fibrous tumor in the buccal cheek mucosa. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign pathologic condition of bone which medullary bone is replaced and disturbed by poorly organized, structually unsound fibro-osseous tissue. When facial bones are involved, considerable esthetic deformity may result. The term monostotic fibrous dysplasia has been applied when one bone is involved : when more than one bone is affected, the term polyostotic used. The polyostotic form may be accomplished by pigmented skin lesion (Jaffe type), or by pigmented skin lesions with endocrine disturbance (Albright syndrome). No general agreement exists on the cause of fibrous dysplasia. A few authors have suggested that fibrous dysplasia as a result of trauma. It occurs predominantly in infant, adolescent females and runs a variable clinical coures. When several bones are involved, it tends to be unilateral. Involvements of alveolar bone may produce displacement of teeth with malocclusion, or loss of teeth, or both. Now, we will present a case of fibrous dysplasia on the left facial region treated by conservative contouring surgery.

Fibrous chitosan membranes were fabricated as a substrate for skin applications using an electro-spinning process with different solvents and varying concentrations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed that the formation of the chitosan fibrous membrane in trifluoroacetic acid was better than that in acetic acid. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the chitosan fibers were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, and that the cytotoxicity of the aldehyde groups was reduced by glycine and washing by NaOH and DI water. Chitosan cross-linked fibrous membranes were insoluble in water and could be washed thoroughly to wash away glycine and excess NaOH and prevent the infiltration of other water soluble bio-toxic agents using DI water. MTT assay method was employed to test the cytotoxicity of chitosan membranes during fabricating, treating and washing processes. After the dehydration of cell cultured chitosan membranes, cell attachment behavior on the material was evaluated using SEM method. Effect of the treatment processes on the biocompatibility of the chitosan membranes was shown by comparing of filopodium and lamellipodium of fibroblast cells on grown washed and unwashed chitosan fibrous membrane. The MTT assay and SEM morphology confirmed that the washed chitosan fibrous membrane increased cell attachment and cell growth, and decreased toxicity compared to results for the unwashed chitosan fibrous membrane.

Purpose : This study was to find the computed tomographic features of fibrous dysplasia of the maxillofacial region. Materials and Methods : All eight cases included in the study reported either to Government Dental College and Hospital or Nair Hospital Dental College, Mumbai between 2003 and 2009. The patients were prescribed computed tomogram in addition to conventional radiographs of maxillofacial region which were studied for characteristic features of fibrous dysplasia. The diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was confirmed by histopathological report. Results : All cases showed the ill-defined margins of lesions except in the region where the lesions were extending to cortex of the involved bone. Internal structure of all cases showed ground glass appearance. Four cases of maxillary lesion showed the displacement of maxillary sinus maintaining the shape of maxillary sinus. Two cases showed complete obliteration of maxillary sinus. Displacement of inferior alveolar canal did not follow any typical pattern in any of the cases but was displaced in different directions. Conclusion : The craniofacial type of fibrous dysplasia is as common as fibrous dysplasia of jaw. The margins, extent, internal structure and effect on surrounding structure are well detected on computed tomographic images.

The characteristics of super duplex stainless steel were investigated on its fibrous structure and dispersed structure. These structures consist of various volume fractions and distributions of the austenite phase that were obtained by changing the heat treatment temperature and cycle. The fibrous structure had higher austenite volume fraction than dispersed structure on the same temperature. As the austenite volume fraction increased in both structures, tensile strength and elongation increased, but hardness decreased. Fatigue life of fibrous structure parallel to rolling direction was shorter than that of perpendicular to rolling direction. Fatigue life of dispersed structure was longer than parallel fibrous structure, and shorter than perpendicular fibrous structure. Fatigue crack propagation rate of fibrous structure was faster than that of dispersed structure.

Solitary fibrous tumors are commonly arise in the pleura and less commonly in extrapleural sites. In head and neck area, solitary fibrous tumors can occur in nose, paranasal sinus, soft palate, epiglottis, thyroid, parotid and submandibular gland. To our knowledge, this is the 5th case of solitary fibrous tumor arising from the parotid gland in English literature. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor occurred in the superficial lobe of right parotid gland which was successfully treated by superficial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve.
