Long-Term Esthetic Outcome of Different Treatment Modalities for Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Cervicofacial Lymphadenitis.

Background: Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis is a rare infection which almost exclusively occurs in children, most commonly children 0-5 years old. It can leave scars in highly visible areas. The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term esthetic outcome of different treatment modalities for NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis.

Odontogenic keratocysts located in the buccal mucosa: A description of two cases and review of the literature.

Odontogenic keratocysts make up 4%-12% of all odontogenic cysts. Most cysts are sporadic but sometimes they arise in the context of basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome). Most odontogenic keratocysts arise in the posterior region of the mandible, but they can occur anywhere in the jaw.
