<p class="abstract">Epidermoids or epidermal inclusion cysts are developmental malformations rarely seen in the oral cavity. They are a histological variant of lesions broadly termed as dermoid cysts. The case discussed here stands out not only due to its unique clinical presentation which can put a clinician in a diagnostic dilemma but also because of its anatomical variation upon surgical exploration which can add to the conundrum<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Current Report

Abstract The causes of dysphonia or hoarseness are numerous and can be classified as functional or organic. The report will highlight the clinical presentation, histopathological features and management plan of laryngeal epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs). Laryngeal EICs are rare. The epidermal and dermoid cysts represent only 0.01% of oral cavity cysts. Their clinical presentation varies from a completely asymptomatic presentation to dysphonia for years. This current report represents a case of a 34-year-old female who presented with 2-year history of dysphonia, which was caused by a unilateral laryngeal EIC.

Mucosal Growth

Mucoceles are one of the most common benign mucosal growth in the oral cavity. They may be under-recognized in children. Mucoceles infrequently present in groups. We present an unusual case of eruptive superficial mucoceles in a 6-day old male that served as a diagnostic dilemma.

Bone Cortex

Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.

Background. Neonatal oral aphthous ulceration of the palate also known as Bednar’s aphthae is not an uncommon presentation. They clinically present as spontaneously regressing, shallow, and symmetrical ulcers on the posterior palate of newborns from 2 days up to 6 weeks of age. Case Presentation. We, herein, report a case of a one-month-old baby girl who presented with an ulcer in the posterior palate and intermittent mild fever. The patient was admitted and monitored in the ward. Haematologic investigations disclosed features of ongoing infection. Nasogastric feeding was commenced to avoid any irritation of the ulcer, and glycerine was applied on the ulcer. Antibiotic therapy was continued because of the intermittent mild fever. The lesion healed spontaneously within one week, and fever subsided afterwards. Currently, the patient is faring healthily without any complications. Conclusion. Although Bednar’s aphthae is not a rare presentation, clinicians are often met with a diagnostic dilemma due to the alarming clinical presentation of this condition. Therefore, it leads to overinvestigation and overtreatment. With this case report, we would like to highlight the importance of being aware of this condition to provide the patients with the appropriate treatment.

Capillary Haemangioma

Hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas of oral cavity are well-known benign lesions. Pyogenic granuloma is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva and capillary haemangioma frequently occurs in the lips, cheek, and tongue. The present case report is an atypical presentation of capillary haemangioma on gingiva which is considered to be extremely rare. The clinical presentation of the lesion in our case mimicked a pyogenic granuloma however, histopathologically was diagnosed as capillary haemangioma. These lesions present as a diagnostic dilemma to the clinician and can lead to serious complications if not carefully managed.

Copper Intoxication

Background: Copper is an essential trace element of the human body. However, it is related to many diseases. Copper intoxication is not common in Western countries, but needs to be rapidly recognised because of its high lethality. Case presentation: We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department after performing intrarectal administration of a blue powder sent from Cameroon by her family, in the belief that this would help her to get pregnant. Her evolution was complicated by multiorgan failure and the unusual circumstances. The diagnosis was suspected on the basis of the clinical presentation and the colour of the powder, and confirmed by blood dosage and toxicological analysis of the powder. She underwent symptomatic treatment, and the outcome was progressively favourable, apart from persistent chronic renal failure with dependence on dialysis. Conclusion: Copper intoxications are rare but severe. Laboratory diagnosis of the condition is not an issue; the difficulty is suspecting it and quickly initiating chelation treatment associated with symptomatic treatments.
