Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL NOS) cases that impacted the oral cavity, reviewing both pathology files and existing literature about the condition.
- - Five cases were investigated, primarily affecting middle-aged males and females, with symptoms like destructive lesions in the palate, gingiva, and maxillary bone leading to severe health issues.
- - PTCL NOS in the oral cavity is rare, aggressive, and typically has a poor prognosis, with four out of five patients succumbing to the disease during follow-up.
Background: This systematic review aimed to investigate the radiological features of lymphomas and leukaemias affecting the jaws.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Articles that contained sufficient radiographic examinations (periapical, panoramic or computed tomography images) for individual cases were included.

Objective: The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study was to report the clinical and radiologic features of 92 glandular odontogenic cysts (GOCs) diagnosed over a 20-year period.
Study Design: Histologically confirmed cases of GOC were retrospectively reviewed from 4 oral pathology laboratories in South Africa and Brazil to categorize the clinical and radiologic spectrum of GOCs.
Results: The mean age of patients was 46 years (range 17-87) with a male-to-female ratio of 1.
Objectives: The purpose of the present scoping review was to determine the contribution of ultrasound images in the diagnosis of inflammatory and obstructive diseases of the major salivary glands (MSGs).
Methods: A search of studies of ultrasonographic assessments of human samples was performed in several electronic databases and grey literature up to July 2021. The extracted data were the examined MSG; the diagnostic value of ultrasound (sensibility, specificity, positive- and negative predictive value, accuracy); features of lesions, including number, echogenicity, echotexture, form, margins, size, posterior acoustic aspect, and location; and related clinical information, such as swelling, palpation, sensible to pain, salivation, lymph nodes, recurrence, duration, and causes.
Objectives: To evaluate bone repair of an osseous defect in a rat animal model through fractal analysis and radiopacity analysis in radiographic images.
Methods: 120 rats were subjected to extraction of their first molar and divided into four groups ( = 6/group) according to the material used for bone grafting: mineralized bovine bone, demineralized bovine bone (DBB), blood clot (BC - control) or Bio-Oss (BO). The animals were sacrificed after 1, 7, 14, 21 and 49 days and subjected to radiographic evaluation.
Actinomyces israelii in radicular cysts: a molecular study.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol
May 2017
Objective: To investigate whether the microscopic filamentous aggregates observed in radicular cysts are associated with the molecular identification of Actinomyces israelii. Moreover, to verify whether this bacterium can be detected in radicular cyst specimens not presenting aggregates.
Study Design: Microscopic colonies suggestive of Actinomyces were found in 8 out of 279 radicular cyst samples (case group).
