Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Sarcoidosis, a rare systemic granulomatosis, can affect the maxilla, presenting as facial swelling. This case highlights an extremely rare bone localization of sarcoidosis.

Area of Science:

Granulomatous diseases
Systemic autoimmune disorders
Maxillofacial pathology

Background:

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
Bone involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon, with facial and maxillary manifestations being exceptionally rare.
This study focuses on a unique case of sarcoidosis presenting with maxillary bone lesions.

Observation:

A 35-year-old patient presented with a 2-year history of facial disfigurement, xerostomia, and nodular panniculitis.
Clinical examination revealed maxillary gingival and alveolar swelling causing facial asymmetry, alongside leg scarring and a facial nodule.
Biopsies confirmed epithelioid and giant cell granulomas, characteristic of sarcoidosis.

Findings:

Radiographic imaging demonstrated diffuse alveolar bone loss and an osteolytic lesion in the right maxilla.
A concurrent bone-condensing lesion was noted in the left hemi-mandible.
Diagnosis was confirmed after excluding other granulomatous conditions like tuberculosis.

Implications:

This case underscores the potential for rare extrathoracic manifestations of sarcoidosis.
Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for managing sarcoidosis affecting the craniofacial skeleton.
Corticosteroid therapy is the recommended treatment; surgical intervention for facial deformities is contraindicated.
