Extramammary Paget's disease of the oral tissues-literature review and a rare case report.

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare, cutaneous adenocarcinoma in situ characterized by a chronic eczema-like rash of the anogenital regions. It is usually slow growing, locally invasive and presents mainly with pruritis. Extremely rare in the oral tissues, here we present a case of EMPD of the hard palate and a review of the existing literature base.

Quality of life: patient-reported outcomes after total replacement of the temporomandibular joint.

Since publication of the UK guidelines on total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in 2008 by the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS), pain scores, mouth opening, and diet have been used as markers of success. We have looked at quality of life (QoL) as another. We analysed the data from a single surgeon on patients who had had joints replaced and devised a questionnaire to find out about the subjective, functional, psychological, and social aspects of TMJ disease.

Total Joint Replacement for Severe Bilateral Condylar Resorption--Gorham-Stout Syndrome.

Gorham-Stout syndrome is an extremely rare bone disorder characterized by osteolytic bony resorption. It is of unknown etiology and thought to result from localized endothelial proliferation of lymphatic vessels that cause the bony resorption. Diagnosis of Gorham-Stout can only be made after excluding other common causes of bony resorption such as those caused by infection, inflammation, malignancy, and endocrine.

Long-term complications associated with permanent dermal fillers.

We report a case series of patients with serious long-term complications associated with the injection of permanent dermal fillers. Although such complications are relatively rare, the consequences are potentially life-long, and the psychological and medical effects can often have a profound impact on the patient. The continued routine offering of these treatments will require doctors to communicate effectively with patients about the nature of the complications and the probability of risk compared with alternative treatments.
