Abstract

Deposition, mineralization, and resorption of FD bone compared with unaffected bone from FD patients was investigated in iliac crest biopsy specimens from 13 patients. Compared with unaffected bone, lesional FD bone seemed to be very sensitive to the effects of PTH and renal phosphate wasting, which respectively bring about hyperparathyroid or osteomalacic changes in the lesional bone. INTRODUCTION: Fibrous dysplasia is a genetic noninherited disease caused by activating mutations of the GNAS1 gene, resulting in the deposition of qualitatively abnormal bone and marrow. This study was designed to learn more about the local processes of bone deposition, mineralization, and resorption within lesional fibrous dysplasia (FD) bone compared with unaffected bone of FD patients. METHODS: Histology, histomorphometry, and quantitative back-scattered electron imaging (qBSE) analysis was conducted on affected and unaffected biopsy specimens from 13 patients and correlated to markers of bone metabolism. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: There was a marked excess of unmineralized osteoid with a nonlamellar structure and a reduced mineral content in mineralized bone within FD lesions (p < 0.001). A negative correlation (p = 0.05) between osteoid thickness (O.Th) and renal tubular phosphate reabsorption (measured as TmP/GFR) was observed for lesional bone, but not for unaffected bone, in which no histological or histomorphometric evidence of osteomalacia was observed in patients with renal phosphate wasting. Histological and histomorphometric evidence of increased bone resorption was variable in lesional bone and correlated with serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
