Massive craniofacial osteolysis.
Involvement of the craniofacial skeleton by the process of massive osteolysis has been infrequently recorded. We describe a patient whose extent of craniomaxillofacial bony loss defied combined reconstruction by combined autogenous tissue and alloplastic materials. The clinical and radiographic features and management approaches to massive osteolysis are reviewed.
