Surgical management of basal cell adenoma of the parotid gland: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a rare, benign tumor of the salivary gland. It has distinct histologic features that are different from mixed tumors of the salivary gland. Often times, it occurs in the parotid gland.

Surgical management of mandibular ameloblastoma and immediate reconstruction with iliac crest and costochondrial bone grafts: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive odontogenic tumor mostly occurring in the jaws. Ameloblastoma can be difficult to diagnose because it mimics other benign lesions. Its diagnosis requires a combination of imaging data, histopathological analysis, and molecular tests.

Management of ossifying fibroma of the bone of the maxilla: a case report and review of the literature.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a slow-growing benign fibro-osseous neoplasm. It is mostly odontogenic in origin, and it arises in the jaws, particularly the mandible. OF is characterized by the production of bone and cementum-like calcifications in a fibrous stroma.

Massive ossifying fibroma of mandible: A case report and review of the literature.

Key Clinical Message: Benign fibro-osseous neoplasm. Massive size is rarely reported. May be confused with other pathologies such as fibrous dysplasia or osteosarcoma.

Management of a giant pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Benign mixed salivary gland tumor is comprised of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and represents up to 80% of tumors of the parotid gland. It is relatively rare in the soft palate and in other minor salivary glands. Surgery is the standard care.

Management of huge verrucous carcinoma of lower lip: A case report at a tertiary hospital in northern Tanzania.

Key Clinical Message: Well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma. Slow growing, exophytic, cauliflower-like growth easily confused with a viral wart. Cutaneous, anogenital, and oral variant exist.

Management of juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma of bone of the maxilla in a child: A case report at a tertiary hospital in Northern Tanzania.

Introduction And Importance: Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) is a rare variant of ossifying fibroma. Though it is benign, it has aggressive clinical behavior. JTOF may pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to their clinical, radiological and histological variability.

Atypical Kaposi Sarcoma of the Tongue in HIV Positive Tanzanian Female.

We report atypical case of Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) in a 32-year-old human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) infected female, involving only the tongue. Viral loads and CD4 T cells were measured and were 65,000 cps/mL and 10 cells/mL, respectively. This patient was newly diagnosed and had no history of antiretroviral therapy (ART), radiotherapy, or immunosuppressive drugs prior to this admission.
