Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is a rare case with unique histopathology. It belongs to the broad category of fibrous hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity. It is often mistaken with fibroma and papilloma due to its clinical resemblance. Only its peculiar histopathological features help us to distinguish it from them. The origin of the giant cell is still controversial. Data available is very sparse to predict the exact behavior. Hence, we report a case of GCF of tongue in a 19-year-old male. Special emphasis is given to understand the basic process of development of the lesion, nature of giant cells, and also the need for formation of these peculiar cells. Briefly, the differential diagnosis for GCF is tabulated.

Verrucopapillary lesions are a spectrum of benign, potentially malignant and malignant lesions of the oral mucosa which usually are misdiagnosed. They pose a great diagnostic challenge mainly due to confusing terminology and also due to similar clinical and histopathological features which often makes these lesions indistinguishable from one another. The human papilloma virus (HPV) plays a important role in the pathogenesis of majority of these lesions. This review aims to summarize and highlight the key clinical and histopathological features of these lesions, and also provides a diagnostic approach to these entities.

BackgroundIgG4-related systemic fibrosclerosis is a recently defined disorder characterised by a diffuse or tumefactive inflammatory reaction rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells associated with sclerosis and obliterative phlebitis. Although characteristic histopathological features are essential for the diagnosis of these disorders, to date there exists no consensus regarding the cut-off values used to define a ‘significant IgG4-positive plasma cell count,’ and data regarding the distribution of IgG4-positive plasma cells under common (non-specific) inflammatory conditions are lacking.MethodsThe authors analysed 121 randomly selected histopathological specimens containing prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates (11 obstructive sialadenitis, 27 inflammatory lesions of the oral cavity, 24 inflammatory gastrointestinal lesions, 15 rheumatoid synovitis, 15 non-specific synovitis, eight non-specific dermatitis and 21 primary carcinomas with a peritumoral inflammatory response). For comparison, seven cases of sclerosing sialadenitis (Küttner tumour) were examined.ResultsHigh counts of IgG4 plasma cells were found in sclerosing sialadenitis (mean 40/high-power field (hpf)), contrasting sharply with sialadenitis caused by sialolithiasis (mean 3/hpf). Greatly varied but generally high counts of IgG4-positive plasma cells were also seen in several of the other lesions, particularly in rheumatoid synovitis (mean 55/hpf), oral cavity lesions (mean 79/hpf) and carcinoma-associated inflammatory response (mean 24/hpf). The mean IgG4/IgG ratios for all lesions varied between 0 and 0.4.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the ubiquitous occurrence of variably high numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells under diverse non-specific inflammatory conditions, indicating that high IgG4-positive plasma cell counts and high IgG4/IgG ratios per se do not reliably distinguish IgG4-associated systemic disease from non-specific conditions, and that the IgG4 counts must be cautiously interpreted in the context of appropriate clinical and histopathological features.

Summary This report presents clinical case with a histopathologically established lipoma of the sublingual space. Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms produced by adipocytes. Our search in the literature demonstrated that the development of lipomas in the sublingual space is extremely rare. In the oral cavity, it is seen in less than 5% of patients. In this paper, we describe clinical features, imaging diagnostic and histopathological features. Lipomas are characterized by slow growth and could be asymptomic, therefore diagnosis could be delayed. This report describes and discusses the case of a 64 years-old-man with a formation, located below the left tongue, for a period of 4 years. The patient had repeatedly consulted with Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) specialists and dentists who recommended surgical treatment. During the last month of the monitoring, the formation had grown significantly and the chewing and speech function had gradually worsened.

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.

Introduction The oral cavity and pharynx have a rich sensory system composed of specialized receptors. The integrity of oropharyngeal sensation is thought to be fundamental for safe and efficient swallowing. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at risk for oropharyngeal sensory impairment due to frequent use of inhaled medications and comorbidities including gastroesophageal reflux disease. Objective This study aimed to describe and compare oral and oropharyngeal sensory function measured using noninstrumental clinical methods in adults with COPD and healthy controls. Method Participants included 27 adults (18 men, nine women) with a diagnosis of COPD and a mean age of 66.56 years ( SD = 8.68). The control group comprised 11 healthy adults (five men, six women) with a mean age of 60.09 years ( SD = 11.57). Spirometry measures confirmed reduced functional expiratory volumes (% predicted) in the COPD patients compared to the control participants. All participants completed a case history interview and underwent clinical evaluation of oral and oropharyngeal sensation by a speech-language pathologist. The sensory evaluation explored the detection of tactile and temperature stimuli delivered by cotton swab to six locations in the oral cavity and two in the oropharynx as well as identification of the taste of stimuli administered in 5-ml boluses to the mouth. Analyses explored the frequencies of accurate responses regarding stimulus location, temperature and taste between groups, and between age groups (“≤ 65 years” and “> 65 years”) within the COPD cohort. Results We found significantly higher frequencies of reported use of inhaled medications ( p < .001) and xerostomia ( p = .003) in the COPD cohort. Oral cavity thermal sensation ( p = .009) was reduced in the COPD participants, and a significant age-related decline in gustatory sensation was found in the COPD group ( p = .018). Conclusion This study found that most of the measures of oral and oropharyngeal sensation remained intact in the COPD group. Oral thermal sensation was impaired in individuals with COPD, and reduced gustatory sensation was observed in the older COPD participants. Possible links between these results and the use of inhaled medication by individuals with COPD are discussed.
