Oral Equilibrium in Cachexia.

Oral cancer, a part of head-and-neck cancer (HNC), is associated with a high risk of cancer-associated weight loss causing cachexia which is still an understudied illness. Cachexia is a host-phagocytic syndrome caused by the multiple factors, resulting in the severity of heterogenic fashion. For the current review, a bibliographic search was done in PubMed and other databases for the English articles published from the year 1980 to 2021.

A rare case of unicystic ameloblastoma with luminal, intraluminal, and intramural proliferation.

Unicystic ameloblastoma (UCA) is a cystic lesion that shows clinical, radiographic, or gross features of an odontogenic cyst, but reveals a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining in the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. This article reports the case of a 22-year-old man with dull intermittent pain and swelling in the mandible.

Dental patient with acromegaly: a case report.

Acromegaly is an acquired disorder related to excessive production of growth hormone after epiphyseal closure of bones. It is characterized by progressive somatic disfigurement (mainly involving the face and extremities) and systemic manifestations. The prevalence is estimated at 1:140,000-250,000.

Asymptomatic presentation of aggressive ossifying fibroma:a case report.
