Myofibroma with Atypical Features can Mimic Low-Grade Myofibroblastic Sarcoma: Two Paediatric Cases.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Myofibroma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that frequently affects the pediatric population with a predilection for the head and neck region. About 10% of myofibroma cases, presenting atypical features, can be misinterpreted as low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS), with therapeutic and prognostic impact. Here, we report two pediatric cases of benign myofibroblastic tumors, one of them showing typical characteristics of myofibroma, the other was an atypical myofibroma, which initially mimicked low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Actinomycosis is a rare infection caused by certain types of gram-positive bacteria, primarily affecting soft and bone tissues, and occurs in about 3% of cases in children.
- A case involving a 4-year-old girl showed an extensive ulcerative lesion in the maxilla, which developed after a prior diagnosis of scarlet fever and led to damage in surrounding tissues.
- Successful treatment involved surgical removal of affected bone and teeth, followed by local treatment, highlighting the need for pediatric dentists to recognize actinomycosis and its implications for diagnosis and care.
Article Synopsis
- Some people have had elastofibromatous lesions in their mouths, which can look like small bumps or white patches.
- Doctors sometimes think they might be other things like fibrous hyperplasia or leukoplakia when they see them.
- This report talks about two cases: a man with a bump on his palate and a woman with a dark spot in her mouth, both showing these elastofibromatous changes.
Lip Granular Cell Tumor (GCT) in a Pediatric Patient: Critical Literature Review on Pediatric Intraoral GCT and Acquired and Congenital Intraoral Non-Neural GCT.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare benign tumor that originates from Schwann cells, commonly found in areas like the oral cavity and skin.
- A case study of a 13-year-old boy with a nodular lesion on the upper lip showed GCT with significant perineural involvement, but no signs of pseudocarcinomatous squamous hyperplasia.
- Immunohistochemical analysis indicated negative ALK expression, while Rb and INI1 remained positive; further research is recommended to explore the relationship between GCTs and other tumors, particularly non-neural variants.
Lingual Actinomycosis Clinically Simulating Nodular Median Rhomboid Glossitis: Literature Review and Report of Additional Case.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2023
Actinomycosis is an uncommon, subacute to chronic, suppurative bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces Israelii. About 3% of all actinomycosis cases occur in the tongue, often affecting adult patients (mean age, 50 years). The clinical characteristics of actinomycosis can resemble malignant or benign tumors, and other infectious diseases.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
September 2023
Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasia that often affects children, presenting a broad clinical spectrum.
Methods: Here, we report a 13-year-old male Salvadorian patient who was referred presenting a nodular swelling at the mandibular angle region, mildly symptomatic, few weeks ago, which relevantly was associated with limited mouth opening. Intraoral examination was unremarkable.
Objectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate whether polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes increase the prevalence of dental caries, molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), and hypomineralized primary second molars (HPSM).
Material And Methods: A representative population-based sample of 731 schoolchildren, 8 years of age, was randomly selected in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. MIH, HPSM, and dental caries were clinically assessed by four calibrated examiners (kappa > 0.
Background: Pain is a major consequence of caries, which negatively impacts the quality of life of children and their families.
Aim: To analyse the parental report of dental pain and discomfort in preschool children, and to identify clinical and sociodemographic factors associated.
Design: This cross-sectional study involved 375 four- and five-year-old preschoolers enrolled in the city of Campo Magro public school system, along with their parents and caregivers.
This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and its relationship with the number of primary teeth with developmental defects of enamel (DDE). A representative population-based sample of 731 schoolchildren was randomly selected from the public school system in Curitiba, Brazil. Schoolchildren aged 8 years with fully erupted permanent first molars and incisors were eligible for the study.

We report two men with Alport syndrome. Both had chronic kidney disease and consulted for long-term loss of visual acuity.

J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry
January 2011
Objective: To determine whether there is evidence of a time-lag bias in the publication of pediatric antidepressant trials.
Method: We conducted a meta-analysis of published and unpublished randomized placebo-controlled trials of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) in subjects less than 18 years of age with major depressive disorder. Our main outcomes were (1) time to publication of positive versus negative trials, and (2) proportion of treatment responders in trials with standard (<3 years after study completion) versus delayed publication.
