Abnormal peri-implant tissue response in the form of benign reactive lesions, such as peripheral giant cell granuloma and pyogenic granuloma, is a less frequent biologic complication associated with dental implant therapy. However, these lesions can cause gingival pain, swelling, and discomfort, as well as peri-implant bone loss and possible implant failure. Few reports in the dental literature have described these lesions around complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses. The purpose of this clinical report was to describe 3 distinct scenarios in patients with complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses presenting with benign reactive lesions that were histologically diagnosed as peripheral giant cell granulomas. Each of these 3 patients had acrylic resin as one of the materials in their prosthesis. The distinctive management of each of these 3 patients encompassed surgical, prosthodontic, and pharmacologic means.

Cystic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare subtype of BCC (1). Histologically, it is usually characterized by multiple small cysts without a clinical cystic appearance (2). Herein, we report an unusual case of cystic BCC with a large vulvar cyst.

Objective: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may present as proximal aortic pathology requiring surgical intervention. We present our experience with surgical management of GCA in patients presenting with proximal aortic disease.
Methods: From January 1993 to May 2020, 184 adult patients were diagnosed with GCA on histopathology after undergoing cardiac surgery.
Assessing the Utility of DNA Methylation Profiling in the Classification of Myogenic Sarcomas of Bone.

The diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of bone is generally established based on integrative findings of morphologic features, immunohistochemical staining, and clinical and radiological findings. There are no specific genetic alterations that can be used to confirm the diagnosis of LMS in challenging diagnoses of bone sarcomas with myogenic differentiation. In this study, we assessed the utility of a DNA methylation-based classifier as an ancillary diagnostic tool for subclassifying bone sarcomas with myogenic differentiation.

Local protein synthesis (LPS) in axons is now recognized as a physiological process, participating both in the maintenance of axonal function and diverse plastic phenomena. In the last decades of the 20th century, the existence and function of axonal LPS were topics of significant debate. Very early, axonal LPS was thought not to occur at all and was later accepted to play roles only during development or in response to specific conditions.

Objectives: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large/medium-vessel granulomatous vasculitis, and the PD-1/PD-L1 coinhibitory pathway seems to be implicated in its pathogenesis. CD4 T cells expressing high PD-1 levels, CD4+CXCR5-PD-1hi peripheral helper (Tph) and CD4+CXCR5+PD-1hi follicular helper T cells (Tfh), are key mediators of autoimmunity. Their frequencies are elevated in the peripheral blood of subjects with several autoimmune conditions but have not been investigated in GCA.
