This article reports an orofacial infection caused by Drechslera hawaiiensis that normally is mortal to the patient. The case was surgically treated in Cali - Colombia in 1984 by teeth removal, and osteototomy of affected bone in the hard palate and the base of the vomer bone. Twenty years later the patient resulted infected by Dreschslera curvularia but survived both infections. A literature review (Pubmed - 2011) showed that only another case report by Drechslera hawaiiensis the patient survived. This other case was reported in the Anderson Hospital Institute in 1984. It is unknown if there is a chronic infection stage and the transmission mode of this pathogen. In patients with chronic symptoms affecting the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity it is possible to suspect this rare disease. Key words: Oral facial infection, mycotic infection, Drechslera hawaiiensis.

Palatal perforation is a lesion of various etiologies, including chronic intranasal abuse of cocaine. Only a few data, however, correlate this damage with heroin. The growing intranasal abuse of heroin and the fact that it is one of the five most popular drugs in most European countries, especially in the lower social classes, increase the need for further investigation of its effects on the oral cavity and nasopharynx. This report presents a case of chronic snorting of heroin, which caused perforation of the hard palate, the diagnostic approach, the selected surgical technique, the final outcome, as well as a review of literature.

An osteoma is a benign, slow-growing, osteogenic neoplasm with a low recurrence rate that is typically characterized by the proliferation of a compact or cancellous bone. It can be peripheral, central, or extraskeletal. Usually asymptomatic, peripheral osteomas in the maxillofacial region commonly arise in the paranasal sinuses and mandible and rarely occur in the zygomatic arch, with only six previously documented cases in the literature. Here, we present the management of a solitary peripheral osteoma of the right zygomatic arch in a 72-year-old woman and a review of the literature.
