ABSTRACT Cementifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jawbone and that are included by Gorlin in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumours. Four separate categories have been identified: Periapical cemental dysplasia, benign cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and a rare gigantiform variety. The current case is reported because of rarity of such lesions and the paucity of information concerning them in the dental literature. We believe that this case illustrates many of the clinical, radiographic and histologic features associated with cemento-ossifying tumours.

В статье описан «неклассический» случай, редко встречающаяся форма заболевания системной красной волчанкой без типичного поражения кожи с проявлением быстропрогрессирующего гломерулонефрита, с поражением тазобедренного сустава, выраженным болевым синдромом у юноши. С применением новых инновационных методов диагностики (непрямая иммунофлюоресценция на анализаторе AKLIDES), что позволило провести своевременно комплексную терапию включая в себя патогенетическую, эфферентную (гемодиализ, плазмаферез), тем самым получен хороший клинический эффект. This article describes a non- racial case of systemic lupus erythematosus with the manifestation of a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, hip joint lesion, a pronounced painful syndrom, without dermal manifestations. By the use of new diagnostic methods (immunofluorescence), timely complex therapy: pathogenetic, efferent therapy, symptomatic therapy, it is possible to obtain a fairly good clinical - laboratory- instrumental result.

Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare benign soft tissue lesion that usually originates from the neonatal gingiva and can lead to difficulty in breathing and feeding upon birth. This current case report describes a female newborn with a gingival mass that was identified by prenatal fetal ultrasonography. At birth, the oral mass was observed to protrude from the mouth, which adversely affected feeding. The lips could not be closed. The breathing was unaffected. Through a multidisciplinary team approach involving several healthcare professionals, the mass was successfully removed under general anaesthesia during an uncomplicated surgical procedure. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed that the mass was a CGCE of the newborn. The infant recovered well after the operation.

The current case report is presenting a post her third cesarean delivery COVID-19 infected woman who was 35years old, morbidly obese, and asthmatic. As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new disease, its information is constantly being updated. Earlier reports of COVID 19 claims that pregnancy did not affect the progress of the disease severity. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that pregnancy is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity. In the current case, her pregnancy may aggravate the criticality of COVID-19 infection in the addition to of her other risk factors (age, asthma, and obesity) up to death.

Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare bladder infection characterized by the presence of gas in the wall or cavity of the bladder. Most patients with EC will present with the typical symptoms of cystitis (e.g. frequent micturition, urgent micturition and dysuria), but other signs include distension and pain in the lower abdomen, drum sounds on percussion and a large amount of gas in the bladder. There can also be other complications such as sepsis. However, it is usually characterized by the typical symptoms of infection combined with pneumatinuria, the passage of gas mixed with urine. The early stage of EC is mostly limited to the submucosa and the symptoms of infection can be mild. Some patients may have no obvious clinical symptoms. If the infection becomes severe, it may result in difficulty urinating and kidney dysfunction. Therefore, timely treatment of these rare bladder infections is essential. This current case report describes an 80-year-old female patient with severe EC complicated by significant bilateral ureteral dilatation, bilateral renal cortical atrophy and sepsis. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and surgery. This report provides clinical data, test results and treatment experience that might be useful for clinicians that are involved in the treatment of EC.

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology which principally affects the lower respiratory tract & lungs. Sarcoidosis in the head & neck region is infrequent. Isolated sino nasal sarcoidosis without pulmonary involvement is rare.Case: An 18 years old male patient presented with the complaints of nasal blockage, purulent nasal discharge which was occasionally blood stained for 6 months, deformity of nose, swelling of face & lips for 4 months & watering of eyes for same duration. Endoscopy of nose revealed intra nasal mucosal thickening which was friable & bleeds on touch. The diagnosis of sino nasal sarcoidosis was made by histopathological examination of nasal biopsy specimen.Conclusion: Sino nasal sarcoidosis is a disease of diagnostic challenge to the clinician as its mimicking clinical features may be misleading & cause delay in definitive diagnosis. In the current case report, we presented a case of sino nasal sarcoidosis presenting as chronic rhino sinusitis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.648-650

Subdural effusion (SDE) is a common complication secondary to decompressive craniectomy (DC). This current case report describes a patient with contralateral SDE with a typical clinical course. Initially, he made a good recovery following a head trauma that caused a loss of consciousness and was treated with decompressive craniectomy. However, he only achieved temporary relief after each percutaneous fluid aspiration from an Ommaya reservoir implanted into the cavity of the SDE. He was eventually transferred to the authors’ hospital where he underwent cranioplasty, which finally lead to the reduction and disappearance of his contralateral SDE. Unexpectedly, his clinical condition deteriorated again 2 weeks after the cranioplasty with symptoms of an uncontrolled bladder. A subsequent CT scan found the apparent expansion of the whole cerebral ventricular system, indicating symptomatic communicating hydrocephalus. He then underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure, which resulted in a favourable outcome and he was discharged 2 weeks later. A review of the current literature identified only 14 cases of contralateral SDE that were cured by cranioplasty alone. The mechanism of contralateral SDE has been widely discussed. Although the exact mechanism of contralateral SDE and why cranioplasty is effective remain unclear, cranioplasty could be an alternative treatment option for contralateral SDE.

Completely digital workflows for the fabrication of implant-supported removable restorations are not yet common in clinical dental practice. The aim of the current case report is to illustrate a reliable and comfortable workflow that reasonably merges conventional and digital workflows for the CAD/CAM‑fabrication of implant-supported overdentures. The 53-year old patient was supplied with a digitally processed complete denture in the upper jaw and, simultaneously, with an overdenture supported by four interforaminal implants in the lower jaw. The overdenture included a completely digitally processed and manufactured alloy framework that had been fabricated by selective laser sintering. The case report indicates that digital manufacturing processes for extensive and complex removable restorations are possible. However, as it is currently not yet possible to digitally obtain functional impressions, future developments and innovations might focus on that issue.

Traditionally, immature teeth diagnosed with necrotic pulp and periapical periodontitis were treated by apexification with long-term calcium hydroxide or in one session with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine apical plug. However, these teeth become fragile and susceptible to root fracture. Regenerative endodontic procedure is a new therapeutic approach that promotes continuation of root growth in immature necrotic teeth potentially preventing root fracture. Only few case reports have shown the success of this procedure on molar cases. The current case report demonstrates a regeneration of a lower first molar with necrotic pulp and chronic apical abscess treated with Micro Mega-MTA (MM-MTA), a new endodontic biomaterial that has not been described previously. Calcium hydroxide was used as an intracanal medicament for two weeks. Next, calcium hydroxide was removed and after blood clot creation, MM-MTA® was placed over it. Apical healing and continuation of root growth were evident at nine months follow-up. CBCT at two years follow-up confirmed apical closure and complete healing. This case shows that a regenerative endodontic procedure for management of an immature necrotic permanent molar is feasible and can be successfully done using Ca(OH)2 and MM-MTA.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse group of lymphoid neoplasms, the prevalence of which has increased over the past few decades. NHL is diverse in the manner of presentation, response to various treatment and prognosis. The current case report describes a 40-year-old man who was diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2006. The patient had disease progression during the course of 10 years from the time of diagnosis for which he received multiple lines of chemotherapy (chlorambucil/prednisolone; rituximab/cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine; bendamustine/rituximab; and ofatumumab). However, in 2016, his disease again showed signs of progression, and hence he was started on ibrutinib 140 mg 3 times daily. After treatment with ibrutinib, there were no clinical nodes and hepatosplenomegaly, and all counts also normalized. Since the commencement of this agent, no disease progression was observed for almost 16 months. However, in July 2017, again disease progression occurred, and the patient was started on with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (COP) regimen. He received one cycle of COP regimen and continued on treatment with ibrutinib, and the treatment was well tolerated. In December 2017, he expired due to the progression of the disease. Ibrutinib, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor, appears to be safe and effective in providing long-term disease control even in refractory cases of NHL.
