Palatal solitary neurofibroma simulates a salivary gland neoplam
Publication date: Available online 7 November 2019Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyAuthor(s): Pooja Sharma, Mala Kamboj, Anjali NarwalAbstractSpindle cell lesions of head and neck are very diverse entities. These may vary from benignity to malignancy. They exhibit a wide diversity ranging from benign fibroma to malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. These can be neural, myofibroblastic, fibroblastic, muscle, vascular, odontogenic, epithelial in origin. Such variable tissues involved provide a diagnostic challenge to the oral pathologists. Among these, neural tumors are very rare i...

Oral self-injury associated with septicaemia in a case of Cornelia de Lange syndrome
This report describes a case of septicaemia triggered by SI. The patient was a 40 year-old woman, who was diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). She was hospitalized in a medical long-term care sanatorium and was recently transferred from a familiar sanatorium. She started to bite herself on the mandibular labial alveolar mucosa; this had never been observed. As the self-biting wound gradually increased and the resultant inflammation spread to surrounding tissues, she was referred to our hospital. During the course of treatment, she suffered from septicaemia secondary to aspiration pneumonia. When a case of SI...

Application of the dredging method in a case of recurrent ameloblastoma that had spread over a large region of the mandible
Publication date: Available online 20 September 2019Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyAuthor(s): Wataru Kakuguchi, Yoichi Ohiro, Seitaro Nakazawa, Ryo Naito, Yasuhito Moritani, Yoshiyuki Nakamichi, Hiromasa Horimukai, Tetsuya Kitamura, Kanchu TeiAbstractAmeloblastomas have a high post-surgical recurrence rate. They often recur after simple conservative surgeries, such as enucleation. The dredging method was thus developed as an alternative, conservative treatment of ameloblastoma. This method accelerates new bone formation and enables surgeons to remove all tumors, leading to lower r...

Hybrid central odontogenic fibroma and central giant cell granuloma lesion – A case report of an aggressive and recurrent lesion
We present a case of a hybrid lesion of COF and CGCG. The lesion presented as a radiolucent lesion of the left mandible that caused bony expansion and paresthesia. Microscopic examination revealed a florid population of fibrohistiocytic cells and multinucleated giant cells in a densely collagenized fibrous connective matrix. Interspersed among this proliferation, lobular collections of intensely basophilic cells with benign cytologic appearance were observed. Immunohistochemistry staining with MCK, Calretinin, CK5/6, and CD68 separated these islands of odontogenic cells from the surrounding multinucleated giant cells and h...
