Osteoporotic Bone Marrow Defect


- Description:
It is a localized increase of hematopoietic bone marrow that creates a radiolucent radiographic defect.
They occur more commonly in women in the midyears and show a predilection for the molar region of the mandible.
They are especially common in extraction sites.
Scattered trabeculae may extend short distances into the defect or, in some instances, through it giving the defect a fairly characteristic appearance. Naturally there are no clinical symptoms.

- Etiology:
The etiology remains unknown.

- Treatment:
No treatment is required.

- Prognosis:
Good

- Differential Diagnosis:
This defect may easily be mistaken for a cyst or tumor. In those cases, Biopsy is required.
