The role of exfoliative cytology in diagnosis of oral lesions.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the use of oral exfoliative cytology and highlight its limited effectiveness in diagnosing oral diseases.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1000 consecutive cases of oral cytology were retrieved from the files of an Oral Pathology Service, comprising the period between January 2002 and December 2022. Patient data and clinical details of the lesions were collected, and all slides were reviewed.

Novel Epigenetic Modifiers of Histones Presenting Potent Inhibitory Effects on Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Stemness and Invasive Properties.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm known for its indolent clinical course, risk of perineural invasion, and late onset of distant metastasis. Due to the scarcity of samples and the tumor's rarity, progress in developing effective treatments has been historically limited. To tackle this issue, a high-throughput screening of epigenetic drugs was conducted to identify compounds capable of disrupting the invasive properties of the tumor and its cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Bilateral lipomatous hamartoma of the tongue: A case report in a child with oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI.

A hamartoma is a benign proliferation of typical mature cells specific to a particular anatomical site. In the oral cavity, they may occur as isolated cases or be associated with genetic syndromes. Oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI is a rare genetic disorder with an estimated incidence of one in 50,000-250,000 newborns.

A buccal mucosa ulcer as the first sign of tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused mostly by . Oral lesions caused by this disease are not common, and most of them represent secondary involvement of the initial pulmonary focus. Therefore, the discovery of lung tuberculosis because of the investigation of oral lesions is rare.

Histopathologic aspects of the so-called chronic hyperplastic candidiasis: An analysis of 36 cases.

Background: The present study aimed to analyze the histopathologic aspects of cases diagnosed as chronic hyperplastic candidiasis (CHC) in an oral pathology service, pointing out the most important features found.

Methods: All cases histopathologically diagnosed as CHC between 2002 and 2018 were retrieved from the files of the service. Data of the patients and the lesions were collected.
