Glomus tumour is a rare soft tissue neoplasm arising from glomus body, which is in an arteriovenous anastomosis located particularly in the dermis. This tumour occurs most commonly in hands and feet, and is seldom found in other sites. The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case of glomus tumour in the lip. A 17-year-old woman with a firm, painless and ulcerated lump in her lower lip was admitted to our clinic. Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathological analysis revealed the lesion to be a subtype of glomus tumour called as a glomangioma. Most glomus tumours are benign and may be treated by simple surgical excision. A typical glomus tumour of the hand is readily diagnosed, but it may occur anywhere such as oral cavity or internal organs, and its small size and atypical anatomical site presents a diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, a glomus tumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass in the lips. Glomus tumour was first mentioned by Wood as a painful subcutaneous tubercle.1,2 It is classified as a pericystic (perivascular) tumour by the World Health Organization. Perivascular tumours are most frequently noticed in the superficial soft tissues at any age and are not seen commonly in the oral cavity. Synonyms for glomus tumour include glomangioma, glomangiomyoma, glomangiomatosis, glomangiopericytoma, and Popoff tumour. 3 Glomus tumour is presumed to arise from glomus body, which may be defined as a special arteriovenous anastomosis located in the stratum reticular of the dermis. It is lined by smooth muscle and glomus cells.4 The glomus body has been implicated in playing a role in thermal regulation.5 It is ubiquitous but digits are the most common sites. Clinically, the lesion is usually seen as a painful nodule located in the nail bed of the distal phalanges. Occurrence in the oral cavity is particularly rare. In this article, we present a rare case of glomus tumour located in the lower lip mimicking a malignant tumour.

Abstract Glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm composed of a perivascular proliferation of glomic cells that resembles the normal glomus body. Usually, it appears as a solitary, symptomatic small blue-red nodule, located in the deep dermis or subcutis of upper or lower extremities of young to middle-aged adults. Cases affecting the oral cavity are very rare, with only 23 well-documented cases reported in the English-language literature. Herein, we present a rare case of glomus tumor of the upper lip, and review the literature of cases involving the mouth.

Introduction: Glomus tumours are rare benign tumours formed by modified smooth muscle cells arising from the glomus body. Glomus tumours occurring in the iris have not been previously reported. Case description: A 32-year-old woman presented with a 9-day history of blurred vision in her right eye. Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a mass lesion within the iris. Surgery of the iris was performed and the tumour was removed. Histopathological analysis confirmed a glomus tumour. The patient remains clinically stable 5 months following surgery and has experienced no tumour recurrence. Conclusion: The findings from this case suggest that the typical symptoms of a glomus tumour may be absent in some cases, and that imaging examinations can help in understanding the extent of the lesion and the involvement of adjacent structures. Moreover, pathology and immunohistochemistry are crucial to confirm the diagnosis.

Introduction: Oral tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 2 billion people are infected with tuberculosis. Objective: To report a rare case of oral tuberculosis with ulcers at two different sites. Materials and methods: In order to emphasize the need to consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of non-healing ulcers of oral cavity and the role of oral physician in preventing the spread of such lesions, this article presents a case of oral ulcers at two different sites, diagnosed as tuberculosis ulcer. Results: Oral cavity, which is considered to be a mirror of systemic health, rarely manifests tuberculosis. With increasing number of tuberculosis cases and unusual form of the disease in the oral cavity, the cases are likely to be misdiagnosed. Conclusion: An oral clinician should have a thorough knowledge of tuberculosis and its oral manifestations.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Glomus tumour, also referred to as Barré–Masson syndrome is an enigmatic, rare, painful tumour that is that represents a proliferation of the normal capsular-neural glomus apparatus. These are rare hamartomas that arise from the traditional glomus apparatus, located in subcutaneous tissue These are benign soft tissue neoplasms presenting usually within the second to fourth decade of life, originating from the glomus body. It accounts for 1-5% of all upper limb soft tissue tumors . It's a component of the dermis layer of the [1] skin, involved in thermoregulation. It structurally consists of an arterio-venous shunt which is surrounded by a connective tissue capsule and is found in increased amounts in the ngers and toes.

Oral mucoceles are the most common benign minor salivary gland lesions. It is of interest to document the prevalence of oral mucocele among outpatients at the Saveetha Dental Hospital, India. We used patient data (12 case records) with mucocele occurrence for this analysis. Data included age, gender, diagnosis, lesion duration and relevant dental history. Data shows that oral mucocele were seen predominantly in males (66%) when compared to females (34%). The most affected site in the oral cavity was the lower lip (58%). Thus, data shows that oral mucocele was predominantly seen in males compared to females. Data also shows that the lower lip is often affected.

Congenital heart diseases are common cause of congenital cyanosis with polycythaemia. Congenital methemoglobinemia is a rare cause of lifelong cyanosis with polycythemia. Congenital methemoglobinemia is caused either by enzyme deficiency or by an abnormal Hb (Hb M). Asymptomatic despite presence of severe cyanosis indicates this rare disorder. We are reporting a rare case of polycythemia with cyanosis due to congenital methemoglobinemia. The patient was referred to our centre and attended Hematology OPD (out-patient department) when his routine CBC revealed erythrocytosis. At that time, we found him severely cyanosed especially apparent on lips, tongue, hands and feet. He was diagnosed as a case of congenital methemoglobinemia with 38% blood methemoglobin level (normal value-0.00-2.00%). On view of life long persistent cyanosis, without any cardiopulmonary and neurological abnormality, consanguinity of parent’s marriage, dark colored blood with high methemoglobin level, a final diagnosis of Type I enzyme deficiency congenital methemoglobinemia was made. He was treated with oral ascorbic acid 250 mg twice daily. At follow up after 6 months his skin color improved and RBC count returned to normal. We are reporting this case of congenital methemoglobinemia for the first time in Bangladesh to emphasize the importance of this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of asymptomatic cyanosis with polycythemia.

Cytological Alterations

Cytopatholory is based on the analysis of mucosa scaled cells. It is able to reveal atypias before there is a perceivable clinical manifestation, contributing for the early detection of cytological alterations suspected of malignancy. Among the malignant neoplasias, the Epidermoid Carcinoma is the most prevalent in the mouth, reaching a percentage of 95 % of cases. By the early stage, most part of Epidermoid Carcinomas are not recognized at the clinical examination. The present study aimed to experience students for the work of collecting, preparing of material and analysis of results obtained by the scaling of the buccal mucosa. 82 patients Who were seeking for dental assistance were undertaken to examination at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Dental School Triage Division. The selected anatomical areas for the collecting of material were the lower lip redness, tongue lateral edge and mouth ground. Malignancy cytological criteria were used for the qualitative evaluation of samples. For each smear a cytological degree was applicd, according to the criteria of Papanicolaou and Traut. Class I was the predominant cytological diagnosis (57.8 0/0) against Class II cytological diagnosis (38.2 0/0) and Class III (4.0 0/0). Most of lip smears (80.5 0/0) and ground (52.5 0/0) were classified as Class I, while on the tongue Class II diagnosis were predominant (57.3 0/0). The quantitative analysis of epithelial maturation enabled the acknowledgement of a specific cell pattern for each anatomical site examined. The presence of suspected smears, clinically unconfirmed, suggests the need of further studies on greater population samples.
