AI Article Synopsis
- Vasoocclusive crises, common in sickle cell hemoglobinopathy, can lead to significant bone pain and complications.
- Previous reports on mandible infarction in sickle cell patients are rare and relied mostly on clinical examination.
- This article discusses a case where a patient with sickle cell experienced mandible infarction, diagnosed using nuclear bone imaging, independent of infection or inflammation.
Article Abstract
Vasoocclusive involvement of bones is a common cause of acute morbidity in patients with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy. Although the literature contains only two reports of infarction of the mandible in sickle cell vasooccusive crisis, earlier authors were often limited to the clinical examination as their primary or only diagnostic method. This article presents a sickle cell patient in vasoocclusive crisis who subsequently developed infarction of the right mandible without an infectious or inflammatory cause and was ultimately diagnosed by nuclear bone imaging scans.

Background: Sickle cell disease is the most pervasive autosomal recessive hereditary blood diseases and is characterized by the presence of sickle hemoglobin (HbS), which in turn gives rise to pathophysiological consequences. This HbS reduces the agility of erythrocytes plummeting their ability to pass through small vascular channels, which in turn results in increased blood viscosity and congestion of vascular beds, causing ischemia, local infarction, and hemolysis.
Objectives: The current study was conducted to carry out the morphometric analysis in patients with sickle cell disease.

Background: Salivary gland tumors with papillary architecture and intestinal-like mucinous cytologic features are rare. Their clinicopathologic and genetic features are not fully understood, and whether they represent one separate entity remains unclear.
Methods: Six salivary adenocarcinomas with papillary architecture and intestinal-like mucinous cytologic features were reported.
