Article Synopsis
  • - Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare and locally aggressive tumor that often returns after surgery; the study explored a new chemical ablation method as a potential treatment option.
  • - The study involved two female patients between 2012 and 2016, where various amounts of anhydrous ethanol and glacial acetic acid were used for the ablation process, with details on complications recorded.
  • - While complete resection is the standard treatment for AAM, the study suggests that chemical ablation may serve as a promising adjunct therapy; however, further research is necessary to validate these results.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the ultrasound characteristics of leukoplakia in various non-chewing oral tissues, providing insights for clinicians on diagnosis and treatment methods.
  • Eighteen patients with diagnosed oral leukoplakia were examined using intra-oral ultrasound to assess lesion features like thickness, keratinization, and blood flow before biopsies were conducted.
  • Results indicated distinct sonographic patterns in leukoplakia, showing increased echo intensity and thickened epithelial layers, with significant differences noted in echo characteristics across different oral mucosa locations.
