Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a bimonthly peer-reviewed French publication which exists since 1874 [3]. The purposes of this paper are: 1) to analyze the publication history of the core French journal from its foundation in 1894 till nowadays, 2) to study a transition period of changing the Journal`s language from French to English, 3) to understand the arguments for the language transition, and 4) to analyze the immediate positive results of the transition in a 2-year follow-up period.

Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor (PMT) is a polymorphic group of extremely rare and usually benign, slow-growing tumors. PMT is frequently associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO), a paraneoplastic syndrome that manifests as renal phosphate wasting. The diagnosis is often delayed due to the non-specific nature of the symptoms and is also misdiagnosed due to histological overlap with other mesenchymal neoplasms. Serious disabilities may occur if they are not treated. Complete resection of the tumor is curative and leads to the normalization of biochemical abnormalities and inversion of symptoms. The majority of these tumors occur in the extremities (95%) with rare cases reported in the jaws. This patient presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar Pakistan with a recurrent PMT involving a mandible with a history of three months, which had already been misdiagnosed previously. Biochemical reports were normal as our case was diagnosed at a very early stage due to a prominent location and rapidly increasing size. Resection of the tumor was performed with a 1.5 cm safe margin. The mandibular reconstruction was then done with an L-type reconstruction plate fixed with bi-cortical screws on the remaining mandible on each side. Patient recovery was uneventful and he is now on follow up. At present, the patient remains well without any evidence of local recurrence.

A 27-year-old woman had congenital microgastria, which was apparent in roentgenographic examination when she was 1 year of age. Despite inability to eat anything but pureed foods for the first 13 years and despite persistent vomiting during that time, she has reached normal adult size and has three healthy children. This report represents two firsts: the first case of congenital microgastria in an English language journal of pediatrics and the first with a long follow-up.

(1) Background: Oronasal communication is described in the scientific literature as a common complication that occurs after a cleft palate surgery. In some cases, it can also be a consequence of oral surgery procedures; the main problem of this type of rare accident is related to the correct healing process and treatment option. (2) Case report: A patient with oronasal communication caused by an unsuccessful attempt of a superior canine odontectomy presented at the Emergency Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital, Timișoara. The case management is described from the first consult to one-year follow-up. We consider that this pathology was optimally treated surgically, and the results are more than satisfactory, taking into consideration the high rates of recurrence. (3) Conclusion: This case report can be a useful to a general dentist who is trying to decide whether to perform the canine odontectomy or refer to a specialist surgeon due to the accidents and complications of this procedure.

SummaryBackground/Aim: Our aim is to describe multidisciplinary approach to primary tuberculous lymphadenitis with a case report.Case Report: A 6-year-old boy was referred to İstanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the symptoms of painless extra-oral abscess and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of primary tuberculous lymphadenitis was proved by microbiological culture and ultrasound imaging.Conclusions: Combine tuberculosis treatment should be applied and long term follow up is necessary. Excisional biopsy for tissue diagnosis and bacterial examination with culture should be performed for an early diagnosis as a delay in treatment can lead to devastating consequences.

Gingival pathology is a daily presentation, however a small number of systemic conditions can manifest similar to a common gingival condition and have fatal results. Dentist referred 56-year-old woman to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department with a 2-week medical history of gingival bleeding not responding to local measures. Biopsy showed eosinophilic infiltrate and vasculitis, and blood tests showed positive markers including cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare disease affecting the respiratory tract, blood vessels and kidneys. Oral lesions are rarely the primary presenting feature. When left untreated, most cases are fatal within a year of diagnosis. The diagnosis can only be made when certain criteria are found, including granular oral lesions exhibiting an eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate on biopsy. With 5% of cases showing intraoral lesions as the primary feature, it is essential that dentists have the knowledge of this rare disease to refer and not to treat as a common gingival condition.

Introduction: Sarcomas are a rare group of malignant tumors. This study highlights important findings in 91 cases of non-odontogenic sarcomas of the orofacial region. Materials and Methods: Patients who presented with orofacial sarcoma at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of a regional University Teaching Hospital between January 1997 and June 2017 were retrospectively studied. Excluded were cases of Kaposi and odontogenic sarcomas. Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results from descriptive statistics were represented in the form of charts. Results: A total of 91 cases were reviewed and consisted of 51 (56.0%) males and 40 (44.0%) females, with a male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The mandible (n=47; 51.6%) and the maxilla (n=26; 28.6%) were the major sites involved. Osteogenic sarcoma (n=44; 48.4%) and rhabdomyosarcoma (n=16; 17.6%) occurred more frequently. A total of 41 (45.1%) patients had surgery and the common hard tissue procedures were mandibulectomy (n=26; 28.6%) and maxillectomy (n=10; 11.0%). Non-surgical oncological treatment was administered to 32 (35.2%) patients, and this was the only modality of treatment in 8 (8.8%) cases. The period of follow-up Arranged from 1-43 months and within this period; there were 7 (17.1%) recurrences with 1 case of pulmonary metastasis. Discussion: Most recurrences were noted less than one-year post-treatment. There is a tendency for patients to present late and compliance with follow up review is poor in this environment.

Objective: To determine the outcome of surgical removal of oral pyogenic granuloma in terms of post-operative pain (POP), post-operative healing and post-operative infection. Materials and methods: This observational study was conducted at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro/Hyderabad, from October 2018 to March 2019. Patients of oral pyogenic granuloma, 18-45 years old and either of gender were included. Surgical process of oral pyogenic granuloma were done under local anesthetic by giving infiltration surrounding deep oral pyogenic granuloma by 2% Xylocaine along with adrenaline. Patients were followed for three weeks on weekly basis to access post-operative complications including post-operative healing. Data was collected via study proforma. Results: Total 37 patients took part in the study; their mean age was 47.86+7.61 years. On 1st week assessment all patients were noted with history of mild pain, moderate pain and severe pain (19, 10 and 8 cases respectively), while healing was achieved in 19 patients. On second week assessment 25 patients exhibited mild pain and 6 exhibited moderate pain and healing was achieved by 16 patients. On 3rd week assessment, only 09 patients exhibited mild pain and mostly were healed few cases showed minor infection. Conclusion: It was concluded that surgical removal is valuable procedure for the management of pyogenic granuloma of oral cavity with lower rates of post-operative infection and pain, and highest rates of post-operative healing.
