A maxillary location of extra-nodal Rosai Dorfman disease: a case report.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign histiocytic proliferation, characterized by a group of clinical symptoms. This report presents a case of extranodal RDD manifesting as a progressively enlarging left maxillary mass in a 42-year-old woman. Surgical exploration and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of RDD, with characteristic histopathological features including emperipolesis.

Pectoral major myocutaneous flap in our practice: about 25 cases.

The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) was described by Ariyan in 1979 for head and neck reconstructions. It is a safe flap, currently supplanted by free flaps in developed countries, but which remains very useful in developing countries. We report a series of 25 cases of PMMF reconstruction.

Anterior dislocation of the coronoid process above a ZMC fracture: case report and a technical note.

Zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures are very common in maxillofacial trauma and may be associated with fractures of the coronoid process. We report a case of dislocation of the coronoid process above a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture locking the mandible. We also report the surgical management of this uncommon case and its follow-up.

Maxillary and mandibular odontogenic myxomas: case report.

Maxillary myxomas are rare benign odontogenic tumors with a high potential for infiltration and destruction. Clinical and radiological manifestations are variable and non-specific and often lead to confusion with other benign and malignant lesions. We present here two cases of odontogenic myxoma of different localization (maxilla and mandible).

Mandibular nerve schwannoma: a case report.

Benign schwannomas are uncommon and their intraosseous location is even rarer counting for less than 1% of all benign primary bone tumors. They exceptionally occur in the oral cavity with the tongue being the most common site of involvement. We report here a case of intramandibular schwannoma derived from the inferior alveolar nerve, in a 57-year-old patient with a 3 months history of inferior left lip paresthesia.

The role of humanitarian missions in surgical training for maxillofacial surgery residents: SOS Face Marrakesh experience.

Resident´s participation in humanitarian work has been controversial, while it´s recognized by some authors to bring significant value to the resident´s education. Herein, we aim to provide an evidence of the role of humanitarian missions in the surgical training as part of residency program, through report of a 10 years experience of SOS FACE Marrakesh, a non-benefit association within maxillofacial surgery department of Marrakesh. Its operating mode is to organize humanitarian missions coupled to targeted surgical training program, which is framed by educational objectives using a pedagogic portfolio.

Oral amelanotic malignant melanoma: a case report.

Amelanotic malignant melanoma is an extremely rare and aggressive oral tumor. Herein we report the case of a 42-year-old woman presented with a painful growth in anterior maxillary region. Intra-oral examination showed a non-pigmented exophytic mass occupying the anterior maxillary sector.

Natal teeth: report of two cases.

Presence of teeth at birth or within a month post-delivery is a rare condition. We report here 2 cases to highlight their clinical features and discuss their possible treatment. A 7- days old female newborn with two mandibular central incisors, noticed by the parents at birth, with complaint of continuous crying, inability to suck milk and causing discomfort to the mother.

Odontogenic cervico-facial cellulitis during pregnancy: about 3 cases.

Pregnancy is considered as a risk factor for development, severity, and complications of odontogenic infections. Without adequate treatment, the infection can spread and threaten both the mother's and the foetus lives. We aim to analyze the predisposing factors, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of cervico-facial cellulitis during pregnancy, through a descriptive retrospective study conducted at oral and maxillofacial surgery department of Mohamed VI university hospital center at Marrakesh, between June 2017 and June 2019.
