1/14. angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

    angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a recently recognized lesion of skin consisting of atypical vascular paroliferation and variable inflammatory cell infiltration. A case is described here of a similar lesion presenting as an intraoral swelling. In addition to showing the histological features generally associated with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, the present case exhibited striking smooth muscle proliferation.

2/14. Lower lip hypertrophy secondary to port-wine stain: combined surgical and carbon dioxide laser treatment.

    BACKGROUND: Port-wine stains (PWSs) are capillary malformations that usually show progressive stasis of the vascular channels and cause slow hyperplasia of the soft and hard tissues. When these lesions involve the lower lip, macrocheilia may be developed along the time. Vascular-specific lasers are not adequate to correct these three-dimensional tissue deformities, and surgical management becomes necessary, resulting in considerable morbidity and aesthetic disturbances. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of macrocheilia secondary to PWS treated by combination of surgery and carbon dioxide laser. methods: A 51-year-old man with macrocheilia of the lower lip and severe functional impairment, secondary to long evolution PWS, received treatment with carbon dioxide laser vaporization and minimal surgical correction, resulting in significant improvement of the lower lip hypertrophy, good aesthetic and functional status, and preservation of the muscular function. CONCLUSIONS: Combined carbon dioxide laser and surgery treatment may constitute a valuable alternative in treatment of macrocheilia secondary to PWS because bleeding risk is minimized and improves the preservation of muscular function and aesthetic results in relationship to conventional surgical approaches.

3/14. Submucoal lymphoid aggregates of the lower lip in a 10-year-old boy.

    We report an unusual case of lymphoid hyperplasia that looked like a mucocele in the lower lip of a 10-year-old boy.

4/14. A case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) of the upper lip.

    angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is clinically characterized by intradermal or subcutaneous papules and/or nodules usually occurring in young adults. Lesions in the oral mucosa are extremely rare. We report a case and review the literature of ALHE cases involving the oral mucosa. A 40-year-old man presented with a painless, 20 x 20 mm, submucosal nodule on the upper lip. Histological examination of lip biopsy specimens revealed an increase in many small vessels. The vascular walls consisted of prominent endothelial cells with a histiocytoid appearance, which protruded into the lumen. Many eosinophils and lymphocytes were also seen around the vessels. The diagnosis of ALHE was made from the above findings.

5/14. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophils in oral mucosa.

    Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophils is a rare, benign angioproliferative lesion with a predilection for the facial skin. A unique instance of the lesion in oral mucosa is described, and the classification, differential diagnosis, and pathogenesis of the lesion are reviewed.

6/14. Oral acanthosis nigricans: report of a case and comparison of oral and cutaneous pathology.

    Malignant acanthosis nigricans is usually associated with adenocarcinomas of the digestive tract. The lesions of acanthosis nigricans commonly run a parallel course to the associated malignancy, producing hyperpigmented, roughened plaques on the skin and, sometimes, verruca-like papules on the oral mucosa. The clinical differences between cutaneous and oral acanthosis nigricans are mirrored by the marked differences in the histopathology. Because oral acanthosis nigricans is uncommon, recognizing histologic features may be difficult. The oral lesions have a true acanthosis and epithelial papillary hyperplasia while the cutaneous forms show slight irregular acanthosis that alternates with areas of epidermal atrophy and dermal papillomatosis.

7/14. Oral angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

    angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an unusual and controversial lesion that occurs primarily in the head and neck area; oral involvement is rare. A case involving the labial mucosa, in which immunoglobulin deposits were found in association with a damaged centrally located artery, is described. The clinical and pathologic concepts presented in the literature are discussed. Suggestions that these lesions should be reclassified as epithelioid or histiocytoid hemangiomas may not apply to all of the cases that are acceptable as ALHE by current criteria. Different entities, which include vascular neoplasms, Kimura's disease, and possibly other reactive conditions, may be encompassed in the Western literature as ALHE. Involvement of a small artery and occasionally a vein, often with evidence of vascular damage, was reported in 24% of the cases of ALHE that were reviewed. Single nonrecurrent lesions were seldom found in association with blood eosinophilia, although in the absence of eosinophilia, single and multiple or current lesions occurred in 60% and 40% of the cases, respectively.

8/14. Crohn's disease limited to the mouth and anus.

    A young girl developed painful swelling and ulceration of her lips and mouth. She had gingival hyperplasia, an anal fissure, and anal skin tags without evidence of intervening intestinal disease. A diagnosis of Crohn's disease was made. All lesions regressed with appropriate therapy. She remains asymptomatic 14 months after presentation.

9/14. Heck's disease (focal epithelial hyperplasia).

    A patient and his mother noted the insidious appearance of a distinctive benign papular eruption confined to the mucosa of the lips. The clinical pattern and histologic findings fulfill the criteria of a recently described entity, focal epithelial hyperplasia. An electron microscopic search for viral particles was negative. Arguments for both a viral and a hereditary pathogenesis have been put forth, but the etiology of the condition remains controversial. This disorder may be more frequently reported as dermatologists become increasingly aware of its existence.

10/14. Correction of macrocheilia due to hyperplasia of the labial salivary glands.

    A method for the correction of macrocheilia due to hyperplasia of labial salivary glands is presented. It can be carried out as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. A vermilion flap is elevated, providing good exposure for adequate excision and preventing lip distortion. In this method, bulkiness of the lip is reduced, preserving the normal general contour of the entire lip.
