Anatomic Pathology: Bone and Joint Pathology

• Albers-Schönberg disease is the hereditary abnormality of skeletal remodeling caused by osteoclastic dysfunction resulting in diffuse sclerosis (marble bone disease).

• Crouzon syndrome involves craniofacial deformities, maxillary hypoplasia, shallow orbits, and exophthalmos.

• Hutchison syndrome refers to the predominant skeletal pattern of metastases in neuroblastoma.

• Pepper syndrome is mainly associated with hepatic metastases. Lymph nodes, ovaries, and testes are also frequently involved, but lung metastases are rare.
