Most of the oral ulcers are traumatic in origin due to sharp tooth and self bite. Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia is a chronic benign lesion of the oral mucosa with uncertain histogenesis. Trauma was proposed to be an inciting factor. A series of four cases of Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia in the lateral borders of the tongue were analyzed regarding oral hygiene, sharp tooth, clinical presentation, histology, and follow-up. The lesion manifests as a small solitary ulcer with induration in the oral mucosa mimicking malignancy. Histology revealed ulcers with exudate and granulation tissue with dense polymorphous infiltrate rich in eosinophils. Infiltrate extends down in between the skeletal muscle fibers and salivary gland lobules. A sharp tooth was found to be the inciting factor in a proportion of cases. Histopathological examination is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis and to exclude malignancy and other eosinophil rich disorders.

ABSTRACT Very few cases of oncocytoma parotid have been reported in literature. Because of its rarity (less than 1% of salivary gland tumors) and clinical presentation of the tumor, there is a tendency among the clinicians to misdiagnose it as pleomorphic adenoma, hemangioma or other forms of oncocytosis. Only a histopathological examination can confirm it. We report here a case of oncocytoma of parotid gland in a 70-year-old male who had the tumor for over 9 years.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Myoepithelioma of bone is a rare osseous tumor thought to be related to myoepithelial lesions found at other anatomic sites such as the salivary gland and skin. These tumors are composed of varying proportions of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and exhibit a spectrum of biologic behavior ranging from benign to malignant. We present the first reported case of myoepithelioma of the skull. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old white woman presented with a persistent right parieto-occipital skull nodule, relating its presence to a fall on the site 2 years previously. The nodule had become painful in the past 2 months. Her past medical history and workup were otherwise unremarkable. The initial biopsy was inconclusive for diagnosis. The lytic bone lesion was subsequently resected, and histopathological examination showed a proliferation of epithelioid cells in a myxochondroid background. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies revealed a rearrangement of the EWSR1 locus. The morphologic and molecular findings were consistent with the diagnosis of myoepithelioma of bone. CONCLUSION: Six months after surgery, the patient is doing well with no evidence of recurrence. This case illustrates the clinical presentation, histopathology, and molecular findings of a myoepithelioma of the skull with successful surgical treatment. Because myoepitheliomas with benign morphological appearance may rarely act aggressively, long-term clinical follow-up is warranted.

Microscopic Features

Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign reactive process affecting superficial and deep fascia. Its rapid growth, rich cellularity, high mitotic activity and poorly circumscribed nature result in it being easily misdiagnosed as a sarcomatous lesion. Three cases of nodular fasciitis presenting as neck lumps are reported. They were successfully treated with local excision, with no signs of recurrence following two years of follow up. This paper describes the clinical presentation and microscopic features of this rare benign lesion and it emphasizes the need for accurate histopathology and clinical suspicion, if inappropriate aggressive management is to be avoided.

Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.

Background: Anomalies of branchial arches are uncommon anomalies of embryonic development and may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants. We describe our experience with 30 children with branchial cleft anomalies.Methods: Case records of all patients were retrospectively reviewed and analysed with respect to age, sex, clinical presentation, duration of symptoms, investigations, management and follow up. All patients underwent complete excision of the tract/cyst.Results: There were 15 males and 15 females (ratio of 1:1). The average age of presentation was 5 years. Majority of the patients presented with discharging sinuses (n=26). Twenty-six patients had branchial sinuses, three patients had branchial cysts and one had pyriform fistula. The anomalies were lateralized to left side in 17 patients (56.66%), right side in 11 patients (36.66%) and bilateral in 2 patients (0.066%). Complete excision was done in all patients. Four patients presented with abscesses and required incision and drainage. Definitive surgery was done after 6 weeks. There were no complications.Conclusions: Abnormal development of branchial apparatus lead to formation of different anomalies which remain asymptomatic and present later in life as cysts, sinuses or fistulae in neck. Diagnosis is mostly clinical and complete excision provides definitive cure.

Salivary gland tumors are extremely rare and encompass a diverse group of histologies. Less than 5% of the affected population is pediatric. We present a case of 6-year-old child with pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid. The patient underwent a superficial parotidectomy. Recurrence was not observed in the six months of follow-up. Surgery is the mainstay of the management of benign salivary gland tumors. Although novel molecular agents are being explored, personalized therapy would be a challenge due to the rarity and vast genetic/histologic variations of salivary gland tumors.

Choristoma is development of a normal tissue in an aberrant location. This report describes jejunal salivary choristoma (JSC) causing recurring episodes of abdominal discomfort in a 5-year-old girl. Exploratory laporatomy revealed a pale yellow subserosal jejunal lesion. Wedge resection of the lesion and repair of the bowel were performed. The child did well postoperatively and has since that time been free of pain at follow-up. Histopathological examination of the resected lesion revealed salivary gland choriostoma. Literature review (PUBMED search engine) revealed no previous report of this rare clinicopathologic entity. We conclude that choriostoma should be considered a possible differential when evaluating abdominal complaint in children.

Introduction. Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine cell carcinoma arising in the sun-exposed skin of elderly patients. Most of these tumors are located in the dermis. An unusual clinical presentation of such a tumor in the subcutis, if not biopsied, may be easily mistaken as a benign lesion.Case Presentation. An 83-year-old white woman presented with a several-month history of a painless 7 mm subcutaneous mass that was initially thought to be a lipoma. A conservative follow-up was planned. At the insistence of the patient, an excisional biopsy of the mass was performed revealing a subcutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma. The tumor cells stained positively for CK 20, chromogranin, and synaptophysin. No other primary or metastatic tumors found after a thorough work-up. The patient was treated with local irradiation. She remains disease free at her six-month follow-up visit.Conclusion. When a new growth is encountered in the sun-exposed skin of elderly patients, a biopsy is warranted even if the lesion clinically appears benign.

Introduction: Primary pulmonary paraganglioma is a rare tumor with few cases reported in literature and unspecific clinical presentation.Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman presented to our department with an incidental finding of a pulmonary mass at chest X-ray and no associated clinical symptom. The CT scan and the FDG-PET showed mild uptake of contrast, but a definitive diagnosis was only possible after surgery through histopathological examination.Conclusion: Paragangliomas originating in the pulmonary tissue are generally non-functioning masses discovered incidentally in otherwise asymptomatic patients. Surgery appears to be the best treatment option, with only radiologic follow-up necessary afterwards.
