Hemangioma is a benign tumor of dilated blood vessels. It is most commonly seen in the head and neck region and rarely in the oral cavity. Hemangiomas in the oral cavity are always of clinical importance and require appropriate treatment. We report here a case of a 34-year-old female patient with a swelling on the lateral surface of tongue which did not respond to the sclerosing agent and was finally confirmed as cavernous hemangioma on histological evaluation.

AbstractBackgroundAlthough melioidosis in the head and neck region is uncommon, it is a potentially life-threatening infection. Thus, early diagnosis and proper management are very important.ObjectivesTo report the clinical presentation and management of melioidosis in the head and neck.MethodA retrospective study was conducted from 1 January 2013 to 31 October 2016 in Mukdahan Hospital, Thailand. Case records of patients who had presented with culture-positive melioidosis were analysed.ResultsMedical records of 49 patients (23 males and 26 females) were analysed. Patients ranged in age from 1 to 75 years. Clinical presentations included 22 parotid abscesses, 16 neck abscesses and 11 suppurative lymphadenitis cases. Only 35 patients (71 per cent) had high indirect haemagglutination assay titres of ≥ 1:160 (95 per cent confidence interval = 45.35–88.28). Almost half of the patients received intravenous ceftazidime and subsequently oral co-trimoxazole. Oral antibiotic regimens were prescribed for mild localised melioidosis. Overall, 95.65 per cent of patients were in remission and no relapses were observed (95 per cent confidence interval = 85.47–98.80).ConclusionCareful clinical correlation and proper investigation are required to establish an early diagnosis of melioidosis and to initiate appropriate treatment.

The Common

ABSTRACTRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a tumor of skeletal muscle origin, is the most common soft tissue sarcoma encountered in childhood and adolescence. The common sites of occurrence are the head and neck region, genitourinary tract, retroperitonium, and, to a lesser extent, the extremities. In the head and neck region, the most commonly affected sites are the orbit, paranasal sinuses, soft tissues of the cheek, and the neck. RMS is relatively uncommon in the oral cavity, and the involvement of the jaws is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of oral RMS in a 13-year-old child and describe the clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:340-343)

Important Differential Diagnosis

An osseous choristoma is a benign tumor consisting of regular bone tissue in an irregular localization. Choristomas in the head and neck region are rare. Most frequently, they are found in the region of the tongue or oral mucosa. There are also very few reports on osseous choristomas in the submandibular region. We present the case of a woman with a large, caudal osseous choristoma within the lateral cervical triangle. Literature review is given about all of the reported cases in the region of the neck. The pathogenesis is yet unexplained. Our case supports the theory that the development of an osseous choristoma is a reaction to a former trauma. Cervical osseous choristomas are seldom, but they represent an important differential diagnosis when dealing with a cervical tumor.

Summary Background/Aim: The use of CBCT in dentistry has been increasing popularity nowadays. CBCT images provide valuable information from anatomic structures and pathologies. Images obtained with CBCT allow for more appropriate treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to assess the calcifications which were found incidentally on CBCT images and to reveal the frequency and characteristics. Material and Methods: A total of 691 CBCT images which obtained from the patients were assessed. Demographic data and calcifications which were found out of primarily interest area were noted. The incidental findings were categorized and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: 945 calcifications were discovered on 318(46.02%) of the 691 patients’ images. 373(53.98%) scans showed no calcificated findings. The age range of patients was from 5 to 84 years. The most common calcification was tonsillolith (86.03%), followed by stylohyoid calcifications (6.24%), antrolith and subdermal calcifications (2.33%). Conclusion: Calcified lesions in head and neck region were commonly seen in CBCT images. Although the most of the calcifications are asymptomatic and require no treatment but correct identification of these findings will reduce unnecessary further diagnostic assessments and will provide more appropriate treatment plans. It will also provide the ability comprehensively evaluation of underlying diseases and practitioners will have life-saving information by early diagnosis.

Vascular anomalies comprise a widely heterogeneous group of tumours and malformations. Haemangioma is the most common benign tumour of vascular origin of the head and neck region. The possible sites of occurrence in oral cavity are lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate. Despite its benign origin and behaviour, it is always of clinical importance to the dental profession and requires appropriate management. This case study reports a rare case of capillary haemangioma on the palatal gingiva in a 14-year-old female.

Common Location

We present the case of a 38-year-old woman that presented with a very slowly enlarging mass of the tongue. MRI revealed a large mass originating in the tongue base and extending to the supraglottic space. Biopsy of this tumor confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. An endaural approach allowed complete resection of the tumor. Definitive histopathological examination showed a plexiform schwannoma. Schwannoma or neurilemoma represents a benign tumor potentially affecting any nerve. The head and neck region is a relatively common location for schwannomas, but tongue schwannomas are considered to be rare and pose the problem of both clinical and histological differential diagnosis of tongue masses.

This chapter covers a disparate group of conditions that may present within the oral cavity, primarily affecting the oral mucosa. Many are common, and will be seen regularly in clinical practice. Others are rare, but awareness is required in order to be able to identify these cases. Some are manifestations of systemic disease, such as gastrointestinal or dermatological disorders; others are localized to the head and neck region. An overview of the common infective conditions of the mouth is included. Finally, the many conditions resulting in facial pain are considered. The aetiology, presentation and management of these conditions is explored.

Slow Growing

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from perineural Schwann cells of nerve sheath. They are solitary, wellencapsulated, slow-growing adjacent to the parental nerve but extrinsic to the nerve fascicles. Approximately 25 to 45% of all schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region and are found rarely in the oral cavity. Most of the intraoral schwannomas are located in the tongue. Palatal schwannoma is very rare as till date and only 16 cases have been reported; one such rare case we came across is reported here. How to cite this article Hameed PSS, Arora N, Malhotra V.
