Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma: Insights From a Case Report.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is an uncommon malignancy that usually originates in the salivary glands. Its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is rare. We present a case of a 68-year-old male patient who has been experiencing swelling in the upper right back region of the jaw for the past three months.

Protocol for correlation of histological risk assessment/scoring system with a depth of invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction: The commonest type of cancer in the head and neck region is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) due to its high rates of occurrence and mortality. The early diagnosis of oral cancer gives better prognosis. Brandwein-Gensler criteria predict the early stage of OSCC cases with a high risk of locoregional recurrence.

Follicular Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor: A Case Report.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an infrequent odontogenic tumor that typically occurs in adolescent females, usually in the anterior maxilla. There is a controversy about it being a tumor or a hamartoma. It presents clinically as a slowly progressive entity that shows a good prognosis with conservative surgical management.

Ameloblastoma With the Hybrid Desmoplastic and Plexiform Pattern: A Case Report.

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic tumor with a benign nature and demonstrates local aggressiveness. It frequently occurs between the third and fifth decades of life, showing significant gender predilection. While typically displaying a benign growth pattern, it tends to invade and sporadically metastasize locally.

Assessment of Bone Invasion and Its Correlation With Brandwein-Gensler Criteria in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background The most prevalent form of head-neck cancer is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Apart from all sites like the tongue, labial mucosa, and buccal mucosa, the prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is more common in gingivobuccal sulcus due to the habit of keeping tobacco quid. With regards to anatomical relationships in the mouth and proximity to bone, OSCC invades the maxilla and mandible.

Unusual Presentation of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Tongue: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that affects the salivary glands. Its notable characteristics include aggressive local growth, infiltration of nerves (perineural invasion), a propensity to disseminate to other parts of the body (metastasize), and a high likelihood of recurrence. Here, we present the case of a 71-year-old male patient who presented with swelling on the posterior left side of his tongue, which had been causing him difficulty in chewing for the past six months.

Correlation of Clinical and Pathological TNM Staging With Histopathological Grading in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of head-neck cancer. The staging and grading of OSCC play an important role in disease management. Accurate staging helps in patient counseling, treatment planning, and prognostication in head-neck SCC.

Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma: A Report of a Rare Case and Review of Literature.

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) is described as a relatively rare, benign, extraosseous odontogenic tumor derived from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is characterized by a mature fibrous stroma with embedded inactive resting islands of odontogenic epithelium. In the category of peripheral/extraosseous neoplasms, odontogenic fibroma (OF) is one of the most prevalent tumors.

Spindle Cell Carcinoma of Buccal Mucosa: An Unusual Presentation of Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common carcinoma in the H&N (head and neck) region, in which squamous cells show variability in differentiation like basaloid, glandular, and spindle cells. Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is an unusual variant of SCC that is aggressive in nature and has the ability to recur and metastasize. The presence of malignant mesenchymal and squamous epithelial cells gives it a biphasic nature.

Case Report: Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue: A Case Report.

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare variant of conventional squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) frequently affecting the upper aerodigestive tract. The hypopharynx, tonsil, supraglottic larynx, tongue (base), and head-neck regions are particularly susceptible to BSCC. Clinically, the presentation of BSCC and conventional SCC is similar, but BSCC has a poorer prognosis.

A Dermoid Cyst of the Head, Neck, and Face Region: A Case Report.

Dermoid cyst (DC), a rare benign tumor of developmental origin that develops from mesoderm and ectoderm, is frequently identified in children. DC refers to three cysts that are histologically related, namely, DC, epidermoid cyst, and teratoma. About 70% of DCs are discovered in children aged five years or younger, with the majority being congenital.

Electronic Nicotine Delivery System: End to Smoking or Just a New Fancy Cigarette.

Smoking and tobacco chewing are the predominant causes of oral cancer. Tobacco is the second-most widely consumed psychoactive substance. There are numerous ways to quit smoking, of which one is electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes).

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with multiple recurrences: An unusual presentation.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a type of malignant salivary gland tumors that is extremely rare. EMC primarily affects major salivary glands, particularly the parotid gland, but minorsalivary glands are also affected. It contributes less than 0.

Case Report: Activated B-cell-diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Lymphomas of the oral and oropharyngeal regions are rather uncommon, and diagnosis can be challenging and confusing due to the multiple histological subgroups. Lymphomas are the third most common type of tumor in the head and neck region and are brought on by the lymphoreticular system. The two forms of lymphoma are Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Plus Lesions: A Case Report and a Literature Review.

The intraosseous osteolytic lesions mainly involving the metaphyseal region of vertebrae and long bones were diagnosed as aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). Further, an ABC was known as an ossifying hematoma. It is considered an expanding osteolytic lesion consisting of blood-filled spaces of variable sizes separated by connective tissue septa containing trabeculae of osteoid tissue and osteoclast giant cells.
