Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytes, and primary solitary RDD of the bone is extremely rare. Some RDDs exhibit increased immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 positive (IgG4+) plasma cell infiltration and the histopathological features of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). However, the association between RDD and IgG4-RD remains unclear.

Intraosseous SFTs are infrequent, and involvement of the jawbones is exceedingly rare.

Case Presentation: A 54-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic, well-demarcated, multilocular radiolucency of the left posterior mandible featuring focally irregular borders, root resorption and lingual cortex perforation.

In osteoarthritic joints, the synovial fluid has a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid compared to healthy joints. Intra-articular therapy with exogenous hyaluronic acid can improve viscoelastic properties, enhance chondrocyte synthesis, reduce cartilage degradation, and alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis (Migliore and Procopio in Clin Cases Miner Bone Metab.

Myofibroma (MF) is a benign neoplasm derived from myofibroblasts. While they are infrequent, these tumors are predominantly found in the pediatric group and seldom manifest as intraosseous mandibular tumors. Herein, we present a 9-year-old female with a radiolucent lesion in the left mandible associated with malposed left lower canine and 1st premolar teeth.
