Etiological Agents

ABSTRACT Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors. They are usually surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule and composed of mature fat cells. Approximately 15 to 20% of cases occur in the head and neck region and only 1 to 4% occur in the oral cavity . The most common anatomic site in the oral cavity has frequently been reported as the buccal mucosa, followed by floor of the mouth, tongue and lower lip mucosa. They present as painless, well circumscribed, soft or firm, slow growing submucosal mass. Heredity, fatty tissue degeneration, hormonal imbalance, trauma, infection and chronic irritation have been proposed as etiological agents for lipomas; their etiology remains unknown.

History Of

Glomus tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms derived from glomus bodies with rare presentations in the oral cavity. Glomus tumors present as a purple or pink vascular nodule or papule, sized <1 cm, and imitate vascular neoplasms such as hemangiopericytoma or hemangioma. Glomus tumors represent less than 2% of all benign soft tissue tumors. Only 27 cases of benign glomus tumors with oral cavity involvement have been reported to date. The most-reported oral tumors involved the lips (54.2%), followed by hard palate, gingiva, tongue, and buccal mucosa. The mean age of presentation of the labial glomus tumors is 48.7 years, with no gender predilection, in contrast to the subungual site, which occurs more in females. The etiology of the glomus tumors remains unknown. Subungual glomus tumors present as stabbing pain, cold intolerance, and tenderness of the fingertips, whereas labial glomus tumors mostly present as a painless, small, and slow-growing lesion. Treatment is surgical resection of the tumor. The recurrence rate of labial glomus tumors is unclear. In this article, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with a 2-month history of painless, soft lump on the mucosal surface of the lower left lip. Excisional resection of the tumor was performed in the clinic, and the histopathologic finding was consistent with solid glomus tumor. At 1 year follow-up there was no recurrence.

Nerve Of Origin

Introduction. Schwannomas are tumors of neurogenic origin, that arise from Schwann cells which surround peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Schwannomas account for only 5% of all benign soft tissue tumors, and 25-45% of extracranial schwannomas are present in the head and neck region. They are usually classified according to the nerve of origin and the site within the head and neck. Case report. We presented extremely rare extracranial localizations of schwannomas and discussed about diagnosis and management of these tumors. Conclusion. Schwannomas are slow-growing tumors and late symptoms appearance may cause a delay in diagnosis and treatment of patients with these tumors. An appropriate diagnostic protocol is indispensable tool in performing a differential diagnosis of malignant from benign lesions. Choice of surgical approach depends on schwannomas localization.

Peripheral Nerve Neoplasms

Schwannoma corresponds to a benign neurogenic tumor, derived from neural crest cells. It accounts for approximately 5% of all benign soft tissue tumors. These are the most common cause of peripheral nerve neoplasms of the oral cavity and oropharynx representing 1%. Isolated or solitary neurofibromas of the oral cavity usually involve the tongue or the labial mucosa. They appear as soft, painless, slow-growing masses that are tender to depression or palpation. The case of a 40-year-old woman is studied because of the presence of painless swelling, slow, and progressive growth of the oral language. Complete removal of the lesion was performed and primary closure was performed. It had a satisfactory evolution, maintaining adequate sensory and sensory mobility and innervation.

ABSTRACT Lipomas are most common, benign, soft tissue tumors in the body; however, they are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Intraoral lipomas are seen as benign, well-encapsulated swelling without pain with added yellowish tinge. We are presenting a case of an intraoral lipoma where the 22-year-old female presented a single well-encapsulated swelling in the posterior aspect of the palate on left side. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the need for dentists to be aware of frequency of occurrence of intraoral lipoma. How to cite this article Munde PT, Munde PB, Jadhav P.

Background. Subcutaneous lipomas are one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors seen in clinical practice. They may occur at any age, affecting men more often than women. In therapeutically neglected cases, these lesions may have unusual clinical features. Our case highlights one such form that may be found amongst subcutaneous lipomas. Case report. A 37-year-old man came to the Surgical Clinic for treatment of an ulcerated, pedunculated tumor, measuring 14.5/8/7 cm, located in the sacral region. Clinically, liposarcoma was considered as the diagnosis. Although preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the tumor showed mature adipose tissue fragments on all cytological smears, surgical excision was performed, with intraoperative extemporaneous histological examination of the tumor. Histopathological results showed a lipoma with unusual associated features: ulceration of the overlying skin and fatty tissue necrosis, with formation of abscess areas. Conclusion. Therapeutically neglected subcutaneous lipomas may have unusual clinical features, leading to difficulties for both diagnosis and therapeutic approach. This case complements the existing data, from the point of view of the clinical presentation, as well as the histopathological characteristics that a subcutaneous lipoma may have.

Oral Cavity Carcinoma

Carcinoma of lip develops due to formation of malignant cells in the lips and it is the most common site for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the head and neck region. Oral cavity is among top five leading sites of cancer, regardless of gender distribution across India. Squamous cell carcinoma of lip occurs at myriad locations along the upper or lower lip or commissure of lip, but majority (80% to 95%) of cases are seen on the lower lip region. Majority of oral cavity carcinoma cases (> 90%) are seen in patients above the age of 45, having a male predilection in distribution. Lesions that includes up to one third of the lower lip are typically treated with V-type or W-type excisions. Lesions affecting between one to two thirds of the lower lip are typically treated by regional flaps of Abbe or Estlander. Larger lesions involving more than two thirds of the lower lip are treated with Bernard flap for middle lesions and nasolabial transpositional flap for lateral lesions. Alternatively, definitive radiotherapy can be used for local control of early-stage epithelial malignancies of the lips such as basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, but usually reserved for selected situations, also side effects of irradiation limits its use. Local resection along with elective SOHND is mandatory for long term survival rate and to avoid substantial worse prognosis. This case report describes an unusual presentation of carcinoma of lip mimicking benign soft tissue swelling.
