Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica presentation
Definition
increased levels of PTH
Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica clinical
Definition
Similar to osteoporosis
Hyperparathyroidism
Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica pathogenesis
Definition
Chronically elevated PTH stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption
Excess PTH from abnormal parathyroid gland (primary) or abnormal parathyroid stimulation (secondary)
Chronic bone resorption -> osteolysis and decreased bone mass
Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica Dx
Definition
Dual energy absorptimetry (osteoporosis levels)
Increased serum PTH, Ca2+, alkaline phosphates, and decreased serum phosphorus
Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica histo
Definition
Macro: similar to osteoporosis, maybe with "brown tumor" - brown colored lesion in bone
Micro: similar to osteoporosis
Brown tumor= cystic space with osteoclasts, vascular fibrotic tissue, and hemosiderin deposition from hemorrhage of vasuclar tissue
Term
Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica Tx
Definition
Vitamin D
Surgical treatment may be parathyroidectomy if parathyroid tumor is present
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy presentation
Definition
hyperparathyroidism due to endocrine derangements and electrolyte abnormalities from chronic renal failure
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy clinical
Definition
Classic symptoms of renal failure
Presents like osteoporosis
Occasionally osteomalacia (bone softening)
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy pathogenesis
Definition
Same as OFC
Renal failure affects lots of things
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy Dx
Definition
End state renal disease
Dual energy absorptimetry
Increased serum Ca2+ and PTH C
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy hist
Definition
Similar to osteoporosis
Term
Renal Osteodystrophy Tx

Ca2+ and vit D supplement
Restrict phosphate intake
Phosphage binders (calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, etc)
Renal transplant
Hemodialysis
Term
Rickets (children)/Ostemomalacia (adults) presentation
Definition
Vitamin D deficiency leading to defective bone matrix calcification and subsequent softening
Term
Rickets (children)/Ostemomalacia (adults) clinical
Definition
(children)
Weak skeletal bones
Deranged bone growth (e.g. bowed legs)
Skeletal deformities: • Craniotabes - thinning and softening of occipital and parietal bones
• Late closing fontanelles
• Rachitic rosary - thickening of costochondral junction
• Harrisons grove - depression of insertion of diaphragm to rib cage
• Pigeon breast - protruding sternum
• Decreased height - from spinal deformity

(adult)
No skeletal deformities
Osteopenia may accompany
Term
Rickets (children)/Ostemomalacia (adults) pathogenesis
Definition
Vitamin D deficiencies from:
Decreased dietary intake
Decreased sun exposure
Decreased absorption from GI
Deranged vit D metabolism

Increased exposure to sunlight
Term
Scurvy presentation
Definition
vitamin C deficiency resulting in impaired collagen formation, which then produces decreased osteoid matrix formation and impaired wound healing

Term
Osteopetrosis presentation

Definition
How osteoclasts dysfunction is unknown
Some gene mutations (carbohydrage anhydrase II and CIC-7) interfere with acidification of resorption pit
Bone deposition in cranial foramen impinges on optic, facial and auditory nerves causes neural defecits
Anemia arises from obliteration of marrow space by bone deposition
Term
Osteopetrosis pathogenesis
Definition
Infantile malignant osteopetrosis (autosomal recessive): evident in utero or soon after birth

Fractures, anemia, neutropenia, infections, death
If survive infancy -> optic atrophy, deafness, facial paralysis
Adolescent or adult osteopetrosis (autosomal dominant):
x-rays reveal repeated fractures

No distinction between outer cortex and inner medulla
Term
Osteopetrosis Dx

Term
• Alkaline Phosphatase
