Article Abstract
Congenital epulis is a rare benign oral cavity tumor that usually arises from the maxillary alveolar mucosa. It is also known as congenital gingival granular cell tumor. Prenatal diagnosis is uncommon and mostly confined to the third trimester. We report a case of congenital epulis, which was referred to our department at 35 weeks of gestation. Both images from our prenatal 2D/3D ultrasound (including Doppler technique) and magnetic resonance examination are presented. A baby girl weighing 2,800 g was delivered spontaneously at 36 weeks and 1 day. The newborn had to be intubated immediately after delivery. A simple excision of the mass was performed on the first day of neonatal life after clinical examination by our pediatric stomatologists confirmed the presence of a tumor resembling epulis. The correctness of this diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by histogenesis. Photographs from the operating room show the postnatal appearance of the tumor. The baby was discharged at the age of 19 days and has remained well at follow-up controls.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety profiles of rivaroxaban compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in managing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) subsequent to thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group comprising 30 patients treated with rivaroxaban, and the control group consisting of 30 patients treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The fundamental clinical characteristics of patients in both groups were documented, encompassing parameters, along with pre- and post-surgical lower limb vascular ultrasound findings.
Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is less malignant and usually occur in the maxillary sinus. However, cases invading the pterygopalatine fossa are extremely rare. In this article, we describe a rare case of a man in his early 60s who presented with left nasal congestion, headache, epistaxis, and facial numbness.

To explore an alternative strategy to chemotherapy to combat oral cancer, natural products and their derivates constitute one promising approach. In the last previous study, we have demonstrated the potential anti-tumor properties of anethole; an aromatic compound abundantly present in nature that serves as a major active ingredient found in plants like anise and fennel. In the current study, we aimed to investigate how this molecule inhibits oral cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study is to explore therapeutic patterns and survival outcomes for a cohort of older patients with stage III-IVB inoperable oral squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy (CT).
Methods: This study conducted a retrospective review of 316 patients ≥ 65 aged years with stage III-IVB OCSCC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry (2010-2015). It compared RT alone ( = 109) with RT+CT ( = 207), utilizing Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests.
