Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst in maxillary anterior gingiva: A case report.

Background: Calcifying odontogenic cysts (Gorlin cysts) most commonly present centrally and have only rarely been reported in peripheral locations. The purpose of this report is to describe a new case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (PCOC) occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva and to review the management and differential diagnosis of such a lesion.

Methods: A 37-year-old female presented with a long-standing submucosal nodule on the gingiva between the maxillary central incisors, with asymptomatic growth over the last three years.

Incidence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) - A single center experience.

Introduction: Inflammation-induced dysregulation of the coagulation cascade and vascular stasis in hospitalized patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) serve as a milieu for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are often underrecognized. We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for VTE in a cohort of patients with ANP.

Salivary gland carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma: a case report with molecular characterization.

True malignant mixed tumors, also known as salivary gland carcinosarcoma (SCS), are uncommon yet highly aggressive lesions associated with a poor prognosis. These tumors exhibit a distinctive biphasic structure characterized by both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Recent research has shown that the majority of SCS cases stem from pre-existing pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), suggesting a stepwise developmental pattern.
