To evaluate the role of mast cells on angiogenesis in various grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma: A histochemical study.

Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer, and 90% of them are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). As most OSCC are asymptomatic and are only detected at an advanced stage, the 5-year survival rate is only 50%. Thus, using novel prognosticators can minimise mortality and morbidity associated with OSCC.

Malignant granular cell tumour of floor of mouth (non-neural in origin) - A rare case report and review of literature.

Five cases of non-neuronal granular cell tumours of the oral cavity are documented in the literature. Additionally, one case of a non-neuronal granular cell tumour with features of malignancy was described. A malignant granular cell tumour is a rare neoplasm and counterpart of a benign granular cell tumour.

Palatal Pyogenic Granuloma Suspected of Malignant Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pyogenic granuloma is a nonneoplastic inflammatory reactive hyperplasia commonly found in the soft tissues of the skin and oral mucosa. Oral pyogenic granulomas are usually found on the lips, gingiva, and tongue, but rarely on the palate. Surgical excision is the standard treatment for oral pyogenic granulomas.

The Diagnostic Considerations and Clinical Management of Lower Lip Swellings in Adolescents: A Narrative Review.

This article outlines a systematic workflow for the clinical management of lip swellings, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. The process involves a thorough clinical examination and necessary diagnostic investigations such as imaging and biopsy, which will guide treatment decisions. Depending on the findings, treatment may range from conservative management to surgical excision.

Conjunctival rhinosporidiosis mimicking pyogenic granuloma: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by an infection with the sporulating bacterium rhinosporidium seeberi. It mostly affects the nose and nasopharynx mucous membranes, but it can also affect the conjunctiva uncommonly. Ocular rhinosporidiosis is most commonly shown as a polypoid tumor in the palpebral conjunctiva.

[Superficial extraskeletal osteosarcoma. Case report].

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone neoplasm in young people. Presentation in non-bone tissues comprises 2 to 5% of all osteosarcomas and less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. On rare occasions it presents as a superficial tumor, making it necessary to make a differential diagnosis with benign entities, such as pyogenic granuloma ossificans, and malignant neoplasms, with sarcomatoid differentiation such as carcinosarcoma and dedifferentiated melanoma.

Dermatological Ultrasound of Less Frequent Dermatological Vascular Anomalies: A Retrospective Study and Literature Review From a Reference Center in Bogotá, Colombia.

Vascular anomalies (VA) are classified as either vascular tumors or vascular malformations. Vascular tumors are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of endothelial cells, whereas vascular malformations result from defects in the pathways that regulate the development of vascular channels during embryogenesis. Dermatological ultrasound has emerged as a critical diagnostic tool for distinguishing VA from other conditions and differentiating among various types of VA by providing detailed imaging characteristics.

An unusual cause of hemolacria: retained contact lens in upper fornix.

A 64-year-old male was referred for complaints of blood in tears and bloody discharge of unknown cause in the left eye. The patient was a chronic bandage contact lens (BCL) user. He had no history of recent trauma.

Metastatic conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma presenting as infectious sclerokeratouveitis.

Purpose: We describe a case of metastatic conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) presenting as an infectious sclerokeratouveitis in a patient with autoimmune disease.

Observations: A 63-year-old Caucasian female presented to the cornea service with a raised perilimbal scleral infiltrate, hypopyon, and corneal perforation concerning for infectious necrotizing sclerokeratoveitis. She had an ocular history of a recurrent "pyogenic granuloma" and her medical history was notable for well-controlled systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst in maxillary anterior gingiva: A case report.

Background: Calcifying odontogenic cysts (Gorlin cysts) most commonly present centrally and have only rarely been reported in peripheral locations. The purpose of this report is to describe a new case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (PCOC) occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva and to review the management and differential diagnosis of such a lesion.

Methods: A 37-year-old female presented with a long-standing submucosal nodule on the gingiva between the maxillary central incisors, with asymptomatic growth over the last three years.
