Popis: | Vanishing bone disease is an extremely rare disorder of unknown aetiology. Vanishing bone disease presents as a progressive idiopathic osteolysis of one bone or contiguous bones around one focus, without respect for joint boundaries. More than 200 cases have been described in the international literature, with fewer than 42 involving maxillofacial site, usually the mandible. Disease of the jaws may manifest as pain, deformity, tooth mobility and malocclusion. We hereby report a case of 62 year old male patient with similar symptoms. |
