We report the clinical case of a 36 years old female without significant previous history who was diagnosed with an acute maxillary sinusitis with not responding to antibiotic treatment. After her admission we asked for a CT which showed an occupation in the left maxillary sinus with a calcified area inside suggesting a mycetoma. The patient was operated by Functional Endoscopy Sinusal Surgery (FESS) plus Caldwell-Luc techniques sending the obtained sample for microbiological study, that was reported as sinusal mycosis by Zygomicetos. The postsurgical evolution was satisfactory.

A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of epithelial origin accounting for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumours. The intraosseous form occurs more commonly in the posterior mandible whereas the extraosseous form is common in the anterior maxilla. CEOT is often asymptomatic and presents with a painless swelling of the mandible.

Isolated maxillary fungal pathologies involve a variety of clinical entities. These include invasive and non-invasive variants, where each has a unique pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and approach for management. The aim of this case series is to investigate the several ways that fungal infections of the maxillary sinus might present, with the approach to diagnose and manage these conditions.

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an emerging model insect for invertebrate neurobiology. We detail the application of a dual transgenesis marker system that reports the nature of transgene integration with circular donor template for CRISPR-Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair at target mosquito chemoreceptor genes. Employing this approach, we demonstrate the establishment of cell-type-specific T2A-QF2 driver lines for the A.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been known for its high propensity of metastasis to unusual locations, and jaw bones (JBs) are one among those sites. The literature has reported several studies analyzing metastatic tumors to the oral region, but very little research work has been published to date to analyze solely JB metastasis (JBM) via RCC. The goal of this study was to examine the published cases of metastasis to JBs from RCC as the sole primary source till date.
