PEDIATRIC PALATAL FOCAL FIBROUS HYPERPLASIA

Fibroma is a common soft tissue lesion of the oral cavity, however, the origin of broma in a palatal region is rare. It may arise as a hyperplastic inammatory reaction in response to a local inciting agent, inammatory source, or chronic traumatic injury. These masses represent hyperplasia instead of true neoplasm. We present a case of broma present on the palatal region in an 8- year-old child diagnosed based on clinical, radiological, and histological features.

Oncocytic papillary cystadenoma of right laryngeal ventricle

A case of oncocytic papillary cystadenoma in a 72-year old woman, a rare tumor of laryngeal seromucinous glands of unclear nature is presented. The patient had a history of chronic inflammation of laryngeal mucosa and both her age and tumor location were typical. The lesion was resected transorally without complications. Histological findings are shown in the present study. The controversial status of oncocytic papillary cystadenoma as either a true neoplasm or a combination of metaplastic and hyperplastic changes, its resemblance to Warthin’s tumor and optimal approach to treatment are discussed.

Dental Management of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma in an 8-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report

Background: Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) or the so-called giant cell epulis is the most common oral giant cell lesion. It normally appears as a soft tissue purple-red nodule. This lesion is certainly not a true neoplasm, but in nature, it may be reactive, thought to be stimulated by local irritation or trauma. Nonetheless, the exact cause is definitely not understood well. In appearance, lesions vary from smooth, uniformly outlined masses to irregularly developed, multilobed surface indentation protuberances. Margin ulcerations are occasionally observed as well. The lesions are painless, differ in size, and can cover many teeth. It may be a lesion on the gingiva or alveolar crest that is sessile or pedunculated, common with respect to the molars and incisors and occurs in reaction to the local response.

Complex Odontoma: A Case Report

Odontoma, a mixed odontogenic tumor, is considered to be a hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm. Fully developed odontomas chiefly consist of enamel, dentin, pulp and occasionally cementum. They are subdivided into compound and complex types. The compound odontoma is composed of multiple, small tooth like structures, whereas the complex type consists of a conglomerated mass of enamel and dentin, having no anatomical resemblance to a tooth. They are usually asymptomatic, slow growing but cause bony expansion, which is often discovered during routine radiography. Here, we report a case of a complex odontoma in the posterior left mandibular region in an eight year old female child.

Unilateral proptosis in a 3-year-old child – A case report

Optic nerve gliomas (ONGs) are now regarded as true neoplasm with the ability to invade locally, but are relatively rare. Gliomas arise from astrocytes of the optic nerve and visual pathway. We describe a case of a 3-year-old bo y with painless progressive protrusion left eye for 1 month. The child was evaluated clinically and required investigations were carried out, the findings were consistent with the diagnosis of ONG. Magnetic resonance imaging is diagnostic to see its extension and to plan its management. An integrated approach should involve neuro-ophthalmologists, hemato-oncologist, oculoplastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists.

Gambaran radiograf compound odontoma yang berhubungan dengan impaksi insisivus sentral maxilla: laporan kasus

Latar Belakang: Odontoma adalah tumor odontogenik yang memiliki sifat klinis jinak, dianggap sebagai kelainan perkembangan (hamartoma) dan bukan merupakan tumor sejati (true neoplasm). Tumor odontogenik ini terdiri dari jaringan email, dentin, sementum dan pulpa. Odontoma terdiri dari dua jenis yaitu compound dan complex odontoma. Compound odontoma sering terjadi pada regio insisivus-kaninus maxilla. Tumor ini berhubungan dengan erupsi gigi yang tertunda, impaksi dan persistensi gigi sulung.Tujuan: Untuk mendeteksi gambaran radiograf panoramik dan CBCT pada kasus compound odontoma.Laporan kasus: Pasien perempuan berusia 10 tahun bersama orang tuanya datang ke bagian Pedodonsia Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung dengan keluhan gigi depan rahang atas kiri belum tumbuh. Kemudian pasien dirujuk ke bagian radiologi untuk dilakukan pemeriksaan panoramik dan Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Hasil radiograf panoramik dan CBCT menunjukkan lesi dengan struktur densitas multiple radioopak berbentuk seperti gigi pada rongga radiolusen dengan batas well-defined corticated . Suspek radiodiagnosis adalah compound odontoma yang berhubungan dengan impaksi gigi insisivus sentral.Simpulan: Radiograf panoramik dan CBCT dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi gambaran compound odontoma.

True Fibroma on the Palate: A Unique Case

ABSTRACT Benign fibrous overgrowths are often found in the oral cavity. Majority of the fibromas occurring in the oral cavity are reactive in nature and represent inflammatory hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue in response to local irritation or trauma rather than being a true neoplasm. True fibroma of the oral mucosa is an extremely rare benign neoplasm, only a few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we report an exceptional case of relatively large true fibroma on the palate in an 80-yearold male patient, which was mimicking a hemangioma, not reported earlier in the literature.

Lymphangioma of the Palatine Tonsil

Lymphangioma of the palatine tonsil is a rare, benign lesion that presents as a tonsillar outgrowth and causes symptoms related to irritation and airway obstruction. Histologically, the mass has abundant dilated lymphatic channels amid a fibrous stroma with lymphoid and adipose elements. There are several theories regarding the pathogenesis of these lesions, and the appropriate diagnostic classification is controversial. Because a lymphangioma may resemble a true neoplasm of the palatine tonsil clinically, the lesion must be removed for accurate histologic diagnosis and to rule out malignancy. Lymphangioma of the palatine tonsil is treated with surgical excision and has no recurrence once completely resected.
