Prostate Metastasis in Oral Malignant Melanoma - A Case Report.

Melanoma is the ninth most prevalent and the second most lethal tumour. The aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain. It occurs in elderly people, over the fifth decade, and is predominant in males.

Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Oral Cavity: A Rare Case Entity.

Pleomorphic sarcomas are extremely rare in the oral cavity, representing only 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas in the extremities of adults. They form a group of highly undifferentiated pleomorphic malignant tumors. A 36-year-old male reported to the OP with a chief complaint of a tooth ache in the right lower quadrant for the past 6 months.

Intraoperative Management of Recurrent Leukoplakia at Red Zone.

Oral leukoplakia (OL) is a potentially malignant oral disorder (PMOD) that sometimes trans-form into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). OL is one of the most frequent PMODs seen in the oral cavity. The global prevalence of OL is approximately 2.

Association of Human Papilloma Virus in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Alarming Need for Human Papillomavirus 16 Screening in Cancer Patients.

Background: The percentage of cancers of the tongue and palatine tonsils has continued to increase by 2%-4% among younger men. This increased prevalence of a subsection of oropharyngeal carcinoma can be associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Among the head-and-neck cancers, a strong association with HPV infection is evident with oropharyngeal cancers, particularly tonsillar and basal tongue cancers.

Superficial Mucocele: A Rare Presentation.

Superficial mucoceles are benign, small, translucent vesicles occurring in any part of the oral cavity, due to extravasation of saliva due to ruptured minor salivary gland ducts. This distinct entity presents as single or multiple asymptomatic vesicles. The etiology is unclear; however, these are not associated with a history of trauma, unlike the conventional mucoceles.

Asymptomatic palatal mass: A case report.

Accidental detection of asymptomatic clinically suspicious lesions is a common occurrence in routine clinical examination of the oral cavity. In certain cases, these lesions may mimic benign lesions further adding to confusion. In this case report, we have discussed the case of a 51-year-old male patient with an asymptomatic palatal mass which was detected during a routine dental check-up and subsequently confirmed to be an adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) arising from the minor salivary glands.

A Rare Incidence of Metachronous Neurovascular Lesions in a Child.

Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from nerve sheath fibroblasts. The diagnosis of solitary lesions becomes difficult in patients who do not have any family history of neurofibroma. An intra-oral solitary neurofibroma comprises 6.

Disto-angular transmigrated impacted mandibular molar with enostosis: A rare intraoral lesion.

A 29-year-old male patient reported for replacement of missing teeth. The patient gave history of unerupted right lower posterior teeth and the orthopantomogram revealed transmigrated mandibular second molar to the inferior border of mandible just below the root apices of second premolar associated with enostosis distally toward the ramus of mandible with size of about 21 mm Χ 20 mm. This rare interosseous defect plays a vital role in deciding prosthetic treatment options for missing teeth and utmost care should be taken to preserve the health of the patient during such procedures.
