A Long-Standing Giant Mandibular Ameloblastoma and its Management with Microvascular Free Fibular Graft: a Case Report.

Ameloblastoma is one of the most common benign epithelial odontogenic tumors of jaws. We report a case of long-standing slow-growing giant ameloblastoma involving almost all of mandibular bone. The solid multicystic lesion was excised, and the histopathological examination showed the follicular type of ameloblastoma.

Evaluation of bite force recovery in patients with maxillofacial fracture.

The aim of this study was to measure the maximum voluntary bite force and recovery time in patients treated for different types of the maxillofacial fracture. Patients aged between 18 and 60 years, who received surgical treatment for a single isolated fracture of the maxillofacial structure, were included in this study. Healthy individuals without any maxillofacial abnormality were selected as the control group.

Kissing tumors; the concurrent diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

Background: Esophageal leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare tumor that constitutes less than 1% of all malignant esophageal tumors. Concurrent occurrence of esophageal leiomyosarcoma with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is even rarer than isolated leiomyosarcoma.

Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case of concurrent leiomyosarcoma and SCC in a 64-year-old woman presenting with vomiting and solid dysphagia, which has not been properly diagnosed following several referrals and diagnostic modalities.
