Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin (mature adipocytes) that are comparatively uncommon in the oral cavity corresponding to less than 4.4% of all benign oral soft tissue tumors. Clinically, they present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic masses. Histopathologically, they appear as thinly encapsulated lesion composed of mature adipocytes with inconspicuous vascularity. The pathogenetic mechanisms of oral lipomas are still unclear. They are usually treated by surgical excision and bear excellent prognosis. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in 54 year old male patient in the left lower lingual alveolar mucosal region that was treated by surgical excision using electrocautery without any postsurgical complication. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence.

<p>Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion commonly seen in the head and neck regions. It is considered as a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that requires surgical excision. COF has traditionally been considered to be slow growing. We report a case of 11 year-old girl who presented to the ENT Department of our hospital with 7 months history of nasal obstruction, proptosis and headache. Computed Tomography scan images showed a mass in the right nasal cavity. This case is notable because involvement of the sphenoid sinus is rare. </p>

Carotid body tumour (CBT) is one of the most common jugular paraganglioma involving the carotid body chemoreceptors. We report the case of a 22 year young man who presented with complain of large painless progressive swelling in right upper neck for 3 years duration. On examination, swelling appeared pulsatile and arising from carotid vessel. MRI Neck and MRA performed revealed large well defined hypervascular mass lesion encasing right common carotid artery, its bifurcation and ECA, with feeders from ECA. Patient was undertaken for surgical excision (Shamblin Grade-III) through exposure in neck, extended by midline sternotomy and mandibulotomy approach, tumour was completely dissected. Patient recovered well from surgery without any sequale. HPE revealed CB paraganglioma. At two years follow up, he is recurrence free. The surgical removal of CBT has a good result.

Background: Myxoma is a rare tumor most frequently discovered in cardiac locations. The present report describes a rare case of extracardiac origin in the femoral vein, initially presenting as leg pain and swelling. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our regional hospital with unilateral left leg swelling and pain. She underwent a Duplex scan and CT scan, which revealed a 21 x 25 mm diameter mass in contact with the distal femoral vein, initially diagnosed as a thrombosed sacciform aneurysm. The patient underwent surgical excision of a bulging mass in the vein wall, which was directly closed by running suture. The anatomopathological report concluded with a myxoma. One-year follow-up showed a patent vein without evidence of recurrence of the tumor. Conclusion: Although very rare, peripheral venous myxoma may manifest with common symptoms as leg pain and swelling. Current vascular imaging and complete surgical excision should be performed without delay to allow a precise diagnosis and prevent further complications.

Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is a rare and aggressive sarcoma that usually occurs around the knee joint; it rarely involves the hand. Joint involvement by SS is extremely rare. We report a case of wrist intraarticular SS presenting with chronic wrist pain. The patient underwent surgical excision alongside with local radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After 24 months of follow up, there was no recurrence or metastasis. Intraarticular SS should be in a differential diagnosis list of chronic wrist pain even though it is extremely rare.

Gingival enlargement is a clinical condition that has been directly associated with specific local or systemic conditions. Pregnancy has been considered an attributing factor which increases the susceptibility to gingival enlargement. It is also considered as a risk factor for periodontitis because of its ability to allow proliferation of specific microorganisms and affect host immunological response. This paper presents a rare case report of capillary hemangioma on attached gingiva of anterior maxilla in an adult female which initiated when she was in her 10th week of gestation. After parturition, gingival enlargement further progressed and caused functional and aesthetic problem. Enlargement did not resolve even after non-surgical therapy; therefore, surgical excision of the entire enlargement was preformed. Histopathological examination revealed capillary hemangioma. No evidence of malignancy was seen. No recurrence was seen even after 2 years of follow-up.

Neurofibroma is benign tumor of nerve tissue origin derived from the cells that constitute the neural sheath. Neurofibroma usually occur on skin and is rare in the oral cavity. In the literature intraoral neurofibromas are reported in 7% of the cases. Clinically neurofibroma appears as discrete, nonulcerated nodule or diffuse mass of tissue which tend to be of the same color as the normal mucosa. Neurofibroma is usually asymptomatic, but sometimes pain and paresthesia may be associated with it. Clinically intraoral neurofibromas resemble many other soft tissue lesions. Hence, recognizing and diagnosing intraoral neurofibromas is necessary for careful planning of conservative treatment and follow up to rule out intraosseous extension and malignant transformation. Surgical excision with regular follow up is the treatment of choice. Here in we present a rare case of neurofibroma occurring on gingiva along with brief review of literature.

Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a low grade, rapidly growing skin tumor which is thought to originate from the pilosebaceous unit from hyperkeratosis of the infundibulum and are often thought to originate on hair bearing skin or sun exposed surfaces. There are very scarce reports demonstrating they may occur in other areas such as mucous membranes or soles of the feet. We present a rare case of palmar KA in a 65-year-old female with no known antecedent history. Surgical excision was performed with complete removal of the tumor. Following surgical excision, the pathology of the irregularly elevated 0.7 x 0.2 cm lesion revealed a keratoacanthoma. The patient remained without evidence of recurrence at one year follow-up. We believe there is only one other report of isolated palmar KA to date in the literature. We review relevant literature on hand KA.

Laryngeal hemangiomas are classified into an adult and infantile forms. The incidence of laryngeal hemangioma in adults is rare. While infantile hemangiomas are more frequently found in subglottic regions and regress with age, adult hemangiomas occur commonly in supraglottic and glottic regions and they do not regress spontaneously. In this article, we report a case of laryngeal cavernous hemangioma in a 51-year-old male who was treated successfully with endolaryngeal microsurgical technique without any recurrence through one year follow up.

A one year old female patient was brought with a chief complaint of localized pain and a slow growing swelling with relation to the left eye region which was diagnosed as dermoid cyst involving the supraorbital rim. Complete surgical excision was done and postoperative follow up revealed resolution of symptoms along with aesthetic healing of surgical scar. Key Words : Dermoid cyst– Periorbital region– excision– cortical expansion
