Select the type of bone disease with which it is most likely to be associated with defect in the mineralization of adult bone secondary to abnormalities in vitamin D metabolism (SELECT 1 DISEASE)
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Osteopetrosis
Osteitis fibrosa cystica
Osteomalacia
Osteitis fibrosa cystica is commonly associated with hyperparathyroidism. Hemorrhagic cystic lesions (brown tumors) usually occur in the long bones. Treatment is parathyroidectomy Osteomalacia is defined as a defect in mineralization of adult bone that results from abnormalities in vitamin D metabolism. Treatment generally involves vitamin D supplementation. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetically determined disorder in the structure or processing of type I collagen. Treatment is surgical and involves orthoses to prevent fractures and correction of deformities by multiple osteotomies. Osteitis deformans is also known as Paget's disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare skeletal deformity associated with increased density of the bones.
