<p class="abstract">Ameloblastomas, in general, are considered benign but locally invasive neoplasms. They present as slow growing, painless swellings and can grow to enormous sizes over the years. While planning the treatment of ameloblastoma, it is important to understand the growth characteristics and removing the full extension of tumor, including the surrounding tissue. Recurrence of ameloblastoma in many cases reflects the inadequacy or failure of the primary surgical procedure. We report a case of giant multiloculated ameloblastoma of the mandible with destruction of the cortical plate and extensive and rapid infiltration of the buccal mucosa. Along with the clinical and imaging features, the importance and method of ruling out malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma in such a case is discussed.</p>

ABSTRACT Shwannoma, better known as neurilemmomas, are benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. They are exceedingly rare in the base of tongue and, therefore, not immediately thought of as a differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal tumors. However, the key to the diagnosis lies in the histopathologic examination. A number of surgical approaches have been proposed for tongue base Schwannomas with varying degree of postoperative morbidity. We report a case where a 19-year-old woman presented to us with progressive dysphagia, occasional dysarthria, and was found to have a large tongue base lesion. Diagnosis was confirmed by imaging studies and biopsy. Transoral laser assisted excision of the tumor was done. Histologic identification of Antoni A and B areas along with strong and diffuse staining with S-100 stain confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm which rarely occur in the oral cavity. Of the total reported cases of lipoma, only about 15% to 20% of cases have occurred in the head and neck region and the tongue is an even rarer site with only about 4% of the reported cases occurring in that region. They are slow growing and usually asymptomatic in nature. When it grows to a large size, it can hinder the physiological processes that are associated with the area. This case report describes the diagnostic features of tongue lipoma with a brief review of literature.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

<p>Chondroma is a benign tumour of mature hyaline cartilage.It is common in the tubular bones the hands and feetand conspicuous by its rarity in the mandible. We hereby present an interesting case of chondroma of the mandibular condyle that was managed in our department. The antecedent radiological findings and postoperative histopathological peculiarities of the case are discussed. This case also focuses the negligent attitude of our society towards one’s health problems until they are fraught with beliefs of cancer. Chondroma of the mandibular is a rare, benign slow growing tumour. Condylectomy is considered adequate treatment for all condylar masses. Surrounding margins of healthy soft tissue is also excised to prevent recurrences. </p>
