Necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) is a benign, ulcerative lesion, usually located towards the back of the hard palate.It is thought to be caused by ischemic necrosis (death of tissue due to lack of blood supply) of minor salivary glands in response to trauma.
Articular: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (or, avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the hip), Köhler's disease (of the tarsal navicular bone of the foot), Freiberg's infraction (of the second or third metatarsal of the foot and less frequently the first or fourth; sometimes called Freiberg's Infraction or Freiberg's disease), [10] Blount's ...
The hernial sac lies in front of the femoral blood vessels in the groin (B). 'External femoral hernia of Hesselbach and Cloquet' The neck of the sac lies lateral to the femoral vessels ((A) and (F)). 'Transpectineal femoral hernia of Laugier' The hernial sac transverses the lacunar ligament or the pectineal ligament of Cooper (D).
Front X-ray of right knee of an adolescent (epiphyseal plates are open): arrows point to avascular necrosis and developing osteochondritis dissecans in the outer medial condyle of femur. In the early stages, bone scintigraphy and MRI are the preferred diagnostic tools. [18] [19] X-ray images of avascular necrosis in the early stages usually ...
A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment. [4] It is typically diagnosed in under 20 year olds. [1] Although unicameral bone cysts can form in any bone structure, it is predominantly found in the proximal humerus and proximal femur; additionally, it affects males twice as often as females ...
Medical condition Osteochondritis dissecans A large flap lesion in the femur head typical of late stage Osteochondritis dissecans. In this case, the lesion was caused by avascular necrosis of the bone just under the cartilage.

Legg-Calve-Perthes syndrome is found only in children and affects the femoral head similarly as in Chandler's disease. Preiser Disease is generally the same problem but found in the scaphoid bone of the hand. Khöler Disease affects the navicular bone of the foot. Keinböck's disease is another disease affecting the hand but rather the lunate bone
Liquefactive necrosis (or colliquative necrosis) is a type of necrosis which results in a transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass. [1] Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections, and can also manifest as one of the symptoms of an internal chemical burn . [ 2 ]
