Gingival Squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) in maxilla is a rare malignant neoplasm especially when compared with mandible. The most common sites of oral carcinoma are being the lateral border of the tongue and the floor of the mouth which is followed by palate, buccal mucosa and rarely in gingiva. The clinical picture of oral carcinoma can be misguided for gingival overgrowth, desquamative lesions, traumatic ulcers or even pyogenic granuloma. Maxillary oral gingival carcinoma is a rare entity especially in a non-smoker. In this case report, a 70-year-old male patient presented with a gingival lesion in maxilla 24,25 region mimicking pyogenic granuloma without having a tobacco history. A thorough clinical, radiographical and histopathological examination was done and led to the diagnosis of GSCC and the treatment was initiated.Creating awareness among practitioners about gingival squamous cell carcinoma mimicking pyogenic granuloma in dental practice.

Limb lesions of skin, soft tissue and bone are commonly encountered. They include a multitude of non neoplastic, benign and malignant diseases ranging from lipoma to brosarcoma and from epidermal cyst to squamous cell carcinoma. An insight of the pattern of various limb diseases in relation to site, age, and type of lesion assists in better comprehension of differential diagnosis for histopathologists. A retrospective study of histopathologically diagnosed cases of Material & Methods: 47 limb lesion patients from June 2020 to May 2021 was undertaken. A total 47 cases included 28 male and 19 female, Results: 55% of cases belong to age group 21 to 50 years. 13 (28%) cases were of upper extremity and 34 (72%) from lower extremity. 15 (34%) cases were non-neoplastic, 13 (28%) were benign lesion and rest 19 (38%) were malignant lesions. Lower limb lesions are more common than Conclusion: upper limb lesions. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm and lipoma is the most common benign disease of extremity. Pyogenic granuloma and epidermal cyst were found to be the most common non-neoplastic extremity lesions. Fibrosarcoma was the most common type of sarcoma observed in 9% cases. Chronic osteomyelitis was the most common bony lesion.

Lymphoepithelial cysts are benign, slowly growing unilocular or multilocular lesions that appear in the head and neck region. They are also called branchial cysts and occur due to lymphocyte induced cystic ductular dilatation. The confirmatory diagnosis is always made on histopathological examination after resection. A 29 years old female patient presented to ENT department, Pt B. D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak with a soft to firm, non-tender, swelling in the submandibular region since 2 -3 days and was referred to Department of Pathology for FNAC on which a differential diagnosis of infected epidermoid cyst or squamous cell carcinoma was made and excision biopsy for confirmation and categorization was advised. The swelling was then excised and sent for histopathological examination and a final diagnosis of Lymphoepithelial cyst was made. The confirmatory diagnosis is always made postoperatively by histopathological examination. The treatment of a lymphoepithelial cyst is the surgical approach, which includes complete enucleation of the cyst. This is a case report of a lymphoepithelial cyst diagnosed on histopathology specimen for which differential of Infected cyst or Squamous cell carcinoma was given. The authors intend to highlight the importance of early histopathological diagnosis of Benign LEC as it has been reported to undergo malignant transformation

Background: Oral Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, usually affecting individuals over 50 years of age. It rarely occurs in patients who are less than 40 years old. Purpose: This case report aim is to focuses on establishment of diagnosis, differential diagnosis, predisposition, and treatment planning related to the case. Case: This report describes a case of oral squamous cell carcinoma, staged T1N1M0 (stage III), involving the lateral border and ventral surface of the tongue of a 32-year old male patient, with no smoking or drinking habits. Initial tumor presentation was of deep ulceration and intense pain. Case Management: Patient has examination with autofluorence LED light, presence of bacterial growth, and FNA for establised diagnosis. Patient was given chlorine dioxide mouthwash and education for further treatment one of them is tomoterapi. Conclusions: Clinical features of deep ulceration, pain and induration may be a suspicious feature of oral cavity cancer, therefore early diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma determines prognosis.Keywords: malignant, autofluoresence, tomoterap
