A Histopathology-based Assessment of Biological Behavior in Oral Hyalinizing Extraosseous Lesions by Differential Stains.

Aim: The assessment of hyalinization to determine aggressive behavior in oral pathological lesions is a scarcely researched field that requires further exploration. The current study aims to predict the biological behavior of oral hyalinizing extraosseous lesions (OHEOL) by employing four differential stains with clinicopathologic correlation.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed on retrospectively diagnosed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cases of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) ( = 13), benign soft tissue (BST) lesions ( = 24), and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) ( = 53).

A Histopathology-based Assessment of Biological Behavior in Oral Hyalinizing Odontogenic Tumors and Bone Lesions by Differential Stains.

Aim: Odontogenic tumors (OTs) and bone lesions of the oral cavity present diverse histological features and varying clinical behavior that makes predicting their biologic behavior difficult. The research undertaken in the current study aims to predict the biological behavior of oral hyalinizing odontogenic and bone lesions (OHO-BL) for the first time by employing four differential stains with clinicopathologic correlation.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed on retrospectively diagnosed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cases of OTs (n = 53) and bone lesions (n = 10).

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum and nephrolithiasis: a rare association.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a multi-systemic, genetic disorder of connective tissue characterized by progressive calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers in skin, retina and cardiovascular system. A young patient reported to urologist in emergency with azotemia secondary to acute bilateral obstructive uropathy. Upon successful management, he was found to have full-blown skin and eye manifestations and was evaluated thoroughly regarding extent and potential systemic complications of Pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
