Article Synopsis
- * Histopathology revealed atypical lymphoid cells showing specific markers, raising concerns for anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), though the ulcer healed completely within three weeks.
- * The authors conclude that this case represents a rare type of intraoral CD30+ T-cell LPD, which they believe corresponds to cutaneous LyP type C, highlighting its diagnostic challenges.

Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a prime choice to control the oral microbiota. However, it's a chemical agent leading to side effects such as teeth strains, taste disturbance, and desquamation of oral mucosa. Alternatively, the lactoferrin and oxygen-based Blue®M has been introduced as an alternative to the CHX, not disturbing tissue repair.

- Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a type of oral leukoplakia known for its recurring white plaques and risk of turning cancerous.
- A 52-year-old woman was initially misdiagnosed with oral lichen planus (OLP), but after further examination, she was correctly identified as having early-stage PVL.
- Six years after receiving dental implants, she developed squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful monitoring in PVL patients with oral lesions near implants.
Rationale: Osseous dysplasia (OD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion classified as periapical, focal or florid with some rare cases being diagnosed as expansive OD.
Patient Concerns: A 43-year-old female presented with gross mandible expansion and tooth displacement.
Diagnosis: Imaging scans revealed an expansive lesion in the anterior mandible, with varying opacity in the central region, and other smaller lesions in the region of teeth #37 and #47, consistent with expansive OD.
