Article Synopsis
- Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare and aggressive type of large B-cell lymphoma often found in HIV-positive patients, commonly appearing in the oral cavity but not frequently reported as such in medical literature.
- Oral PBL typically manifests as asymptomatic swelling with ulcerations and bleeding, and there is no established treatment protocol for this condition, resulting in a low five-year survival rate of around 33.5%.
- The case presented highlights the importance of recognizing oral lesions as potential indicators of serious underlying health issues, as a suspicious ulcerated growth in the upper jaw was ultimately diagnosed as a rare HIV-related lymphoma rather than carcinoma.
Carotid- Cavernous Fistula (CCF) represents an aberrant vascular communication at the skull base between the high-flow carotid arterial system and the low-flow venous channels within the cavernous sinuses of the sphenoid bone. Benjamin Travers, in the year 1809, described this condition as "pulsating exophthalmos". This case is a presentation of a carotid cavernous fistula in an operated case of maxillofacial injury as a late complication.
