2/66. Upper aerodigestive tract frostbite complicating volatile substance abuse.Volatile substance abuse has become increasingly popular among today's youth. It has reportedly been used by up to 13% of teenage populations. physicians need to be aware of the potential complications which may arise from this form of substance abuse. We describe the case of a young male who presented with massive edema affecting his lips, oral cavity, oropharynx and trachea. It was later discovered that his injury was secondary to thermal trauma related to the abuse of a fluorinated hydrocarbon propellant. This presentation may easily be confused with allergic or angioneurotic edema. Denial by the patient can lead to a further delay in diagnosis. This case is especially notable since frostbite injury involving the upper aerodigestive tract is extremely rare. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the management principals required in the care of this patient. We also present a pertinent review of the literature related to both volatile substance abuse and its complications involving the airway.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/66. Leukemic macrocheilia associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Specific cutaneous infiltrates in chronic lymphocytic leukemia presenting as a tumor or a large nodule on the face, scalp, and upper trunk are rare; involvement of the oral mucosa is extremely rare. We report a case of leukemic macrocheilia that occurred three years before a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia was made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/66. Superficial mucocele: report of 4 cases.Four cases of the lesion first described as superficial mucocele by Eveson in 1988 are reported. All of the lesions developed in adult women; two of the women had concurrent oral lichen planus. The mucoceles were found on the soft palate, the buccal mucosa, and the upper and lower labial mucosa. The etiologic factors and pathogenesis of this lesion are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/66. Congenital midline sinus of the upper lip.A rare case of congenital midline sinus of the upper lip is presented. The patient had recurrent cellulitis with swelling at the base of the medial crus of the right lower lateral cartilage. Excision was performed using the intraoral approach. Theories concerning the etiology of the midline sinus of the upper lip are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/66. Neonatal juvenile xanthogranuloma. Report of a case with fine needle aspiration cytologic findings in a soft tissue mass.BACKGROUND: Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an infrequent, benign histiocytic lesion, the recognition and diagnosis of which by fine needle aspiration biopsy are important for ascertaining whether a case will have a benign course or spontaneous regression. CASE: A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma was located in the upper lip of a newborn male. CONCLUSION: Juvenile xanthogranuloma has characteristic cytologic features that may allow recognition in fine needle aspiration cytology smears.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/66. alendronate-related oral mucosa ulcerations.alendronate is widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone diseases. Although it is considered a well-tolerated drug, there are numerous reports of adverse effects on the mucosa in the upper aerodigestive tract, with oesophagitis as the most common complication. The strict regulations for the proper administration of the drug indicate that these side effects might well be the result of a direct, irritant mechanism on the upper aerodigestive tract. We present two clinical cases of patients who developed extensive palatal ulcers as a result of taking alendronate. We discuss possible mechanisms implicated in the production of the ulcers and some clinical factors of interest.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/66. Associated localization of morphea and lichen planus of the lip in a patient with vitiligo.Morphea, lichen planus and vitiligo are common diseases, but seldom associated. Morphea or lichen planus in the lips have not frequently been reported, and an associated localization of both lesions in the lip mucosa is indeed a rare event. A case of morphea and lichen planus localized in the upper lip mucosa in a patient with vitiligo is reported. immunohistochemistry revealed a clear prevalence of t-lymphocytes in the inflammatory infiltrates of morphea and in the band-like infiltrate of the lichen, a finding consistent with previous reports of morphea, lichen planus, and vitiligo. The inverse ratio found between CD8 and CD4 lymphocytes, compared to other reports, seems to confirm that the pathogenesis of morphea and lichen planus evolves through different stages. The present report, besides presenting a rare case, may prompt to consider a common pathogenesis among morphea, lichen planus and vitiligo.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/66. Upper lip fistulas: three new cases.OBJECTIVE: We present three new cases of congenital upper lip fistula. Two of them were located in the philtrum midline, one of which was associated to a double maxillary frenulum, a medial lip cleft, and a medial cleft of the primitive palate. The other was located in the left side of the vermilion. All three patients had clear fluid discharge through the fistulous orifice without pain. Two of them had a history of recurrent swelling of the philtrum area. CONCLUSIONS: A simple surgical excision is the treatment of choice in these cases, in which the anatomy is preserved; this fact is more consistent with a completed but aberrant development than with focal dysgenesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = upper (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/66. Heterotopic brain tissue in the upper lip of a neonate mimicking bilateral cleft lip features.Heterotopic brain tissue is an extremely rare developmental anomaly frequently diagnosed in the newborn period. This entity has been described in various sites of the head and neck, most commonly in the nasal area. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary for exclude associated cranial communications.
