osteitis /os·te·itis/ (os″te-i´tis) inflammation of bone.
osteitis fibrosa cystica,
osteitis [os″te-i´tis]
osteitis fibrosa cystica
condensing osteitis osteitis with hard deposits of earthy salts in affected bone.
osteitis defor´mans rarefying osteitis resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass, which may lead to bowing of long bones and deformation of flat bones; when the bones of the skull are affected, deafness may result. Called also Paget's disease of bone.
osteitis fibro´sa cys´tica , osteitis fibro´sa cys´tica generalisa´ta, osteitis fibro´sa osteoplas´tica rarefying osteitis with fibrous degeneration and formation of cysts and with the presence of fibrous nodules on the affected bones, due to marked osteoclastic activity secondary to hyperparathyroidism.
osteitis fragi´litans osteogenesis imperfecta.
osteitis fungo´sa chronic osteitis in which the haversian canals are dilated and filled with granulation tissue.
parathyroid osteitis o. fibrosa cystica.
sclerosing osteitis
osteitis fi·bro·sa cys·ti·ca (f -br  s s st-k)n. The resorption and replacement of calcified bone with fibrous tissue caused by hyperparathyroidism or similar conditions that affect the concentration of mineral salts such as calcium and phosphorus. Also called Recklinghausen's disease of bone. |
osteitis fibrosa cystica,
an inflammatory degenerative condition in which normal bone is replaced by cysts and fibrous tissue. It is usually associated with hyperparathyroidism.
Brown Tumour
A hyperparathyroidism-induced tumour-like mass of bony tissue characterised by fibrosis, cyst formation, marked osteoclastic resorption, multinucleated giant cells, and hemosiderin—which imparts the brown color deposits and rounded, cyst-like radiologic defects; brown tumours also occur in 2º hyperparathyroidism and may be the first sign of renal osteodystrophy in patients with ESRD who are kept alive by renal dialysis, and have enough time to develop the osseous reaction
osteitis [os″te-i´tis]
inflammation of bone, often with enlargement, tenderness, and a dull, aching pain.
alveolar osteitis dry socket.
condensing osteitis osteitis with hard deposits of earthy salts in affected bone.
osteitis defor´mans rarefying osteitis of unknown cause resulting in deformed bones of increased mass leading to bowing of the long bones and deformation of the flat bones. See also paget's disease.
osteitis fibro´sa cys´tica rarefying osteitis with fibrous degeneration and the formation of cysts and the presence of fibrous nodules on the affected bones, due to osteoclastic activity secondary to hyperparathyroidism. If a tumor of the parathyroid gland is the cause of the hyperparathyroidism, treatment includes removal of the tumor. When the disease is generalized, all the bones are affected (von recklinghausen's disease). Orthopedic surgery may be necessary to correct severe bone deformities.
osteitis fragi´litans osteogenesis imperfecta.
osteitis fungo´sa chronic osteitis in which the haversian canals are dilated and filled with granulation tissue.
rarefying osteitis a bone disease in which the inorganic matter is diminished and the hard bone becomes cancellated.
sclerosing osteitis
osteitis
inflammation of bone. The term is used to describe a number of conditions; for instance, advanced cases of brucellosis can lead to brucellar osteitis. See also osteomyelitis.
alveolar osteitis
necrosis of alveolar bone at the site of a tooth extraction. Called also dry socket.
osteitis deformans
osteitis causing deformity of bones.
osteitis fibrosa
osteitis fibrosa cystica
rarefying osteitis with fibrous degeneration and the formation of cysts and the presence of fibrous nodules on the affected bones, due to osteoclastic activity secondary to hyperparathyroidism. See also osteodystrophia fibrosa.
rarefying osteitis
a bone disease in which the inorganic matter is diminished and the hard bone becomes cancellated.
sclerosing osteitis
1. sclerosing nonsuppurative osteomyelitis.
2. condensing osteitis.
osteitis fibrosa cystica
Albright syndrome, McCune-Albright disease, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia An AD condition possibly related to altered regulation of cAMP Clinical Precocious puberty, polyostotic–cystic fibrous dysplasia with
spontaneous fractures at young age, cafe-au-lait spots of skin, ovarian cysts, endocrinopathy–eg, hyperthyroidism, hypophosphatemia and cyclical–4-6 wk–fluctuations of plasma estrogen; afflicted young girls have ↓
gonadotropins and ↓ response to LH-RH Lab ↑ Testosterone, ↑ alk phos Treatment Aromatase inhibitor testolactone. See Luteinizing hormone-releasing factor.
