Abstract

Patient with shortening distal phalanx 1st finger both hands, from the birth and familiar precedents of similar abnormality. At the age of 8 she presented dental alterations with hipertrofia gingival and dental incorporations, and backaches and pain in femoral region. Radiology: increase of bony widespread density, hypoplasia lower jaw, and acrosteolisis distal phalanxes. The jaw biopsy (dental piece and alveolar surrounding bone): bony fragments are constituted for coarse and irregular trabeculas with importantly bony resorption and newly formed. Bone densitometry: T+5.2 in column lumbar and neck femoral. Gamma scan bone: diffuse captation of the axial skeleton. Diagnosis: picnodisostosis.

Resumen

la falange distal del primer dedo de ambas manos desde el nacimiento y con antecedentes familiares de similares anomalias. A los 8 años presentó alteraciones dentarias con hipertrofia gingival e inclusiones dentarias, y dolores lumbares y en la región femoral. Las pruebas radiológicas evidenciaron aumento de densidad ósea generalizada, hipoplasia maxilar inferior y acrosteólisis de las falanges distales. Biopsia mandibular (pieza dentaria y hueso alveolar circundante): los fragmentos óseos están constituidos por trabéculas toscas e irregulares con importante resorción y neoformación ósea. Densitometría ósea: T +5,2 en la columna lumbar y el cuello femoral. Gammagrafía ósea: captación difusa del esqueleto axial. Diagnóstico: picnodisostosis.
