1/3. Central fibroma in the ascending ramus of the mandible. Case report.A case of central fibroma involving the mandible in a 58 year old woman is described. There was slight swelling of the left cheek and bone-hard bulging was detected on palpation but the patient had not complained of the swelling. The lesion was removed under general anaesthesia and then examined histopathologically. There was no sign of recurrence eleven months after the operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (WHO type) of the newborn: a case report.AIM: The present paper reports a case of peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) (WHO type) in a newborn. The differential diagnosis and treatment were discussed. BACKGROUND: POF is well described in the literature, but this is the first report in a newborn. PATIENT: A 4-month-old female newborn was referred to our department because of an exophytic, sessile, firm, and well-delimited lesion on the right upper alveolar ridge. The covering mucosa was apparently normal. The lesion measuring 10 x 3 mm was present since birth. The clinical diagnosis of congenital granular cell tumour (congenital epulis) or dental lamina cyst of the newborn was made. A conservative excisional biopsy was performed under local anaesthesia, and the specimen was submitted to histopathological examination. RESULTS: The microscopic examination revealed a pattern of POF (WHO type). Normal primary incisors teeth eruption, and no signs of recurrence were noted on 16 months follow-up. CONCLUSION: Despite the rarity of POF in a newborn, this lesion should be included as a possible diagnosis to focal gingival growth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Fibroelastoma: case report and review of the literature.A 64 year old woman presented with right hemianaesthesia and was found to have a pansystolic apical murmur with systolic and diastolic posture related plops. echocardiography revealed a mobile mass on the mitral valve apparatus that was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. This was successfully excised and was proven on histopathological examination to be a fibroelastoma. Other cases of fibroelastoma from the literature are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
