1/52. Peripheral osteoma of mandible arising from anterior lingual alveolar plate--a case report.Peripheral osteomas of the mandible are uncommon bony tumours. Of those that have been described, the location is normally posterior to the premolars on the lingual surface of the mandible or in the condylar area. This article presents a case of an atypical presentation of an osteoma arising from the anterior lingual alveolar cortical plate of the mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/52. Mandibular and temporomandibular joint arthropathy in the differential diagnosis of the parotid mass.OBJECTIVE: To increase awareness of temporomandibular joint and mandibular disease in the overall evaluation and diagnosis of the parotid mass. STUDY DESIGN: We describe clinical presentations of pigmented villonodular synovitis and synovial chondrocalcinosis of the temporomandibular joint, as well as osteoma of the mandible, as they may initially suggest primary neoplasms of the parotid gland. CONCLUSIONS: Preauricular swelling is a common presenting symptom for patients visiting an otolaryngologist. Often this symptom is suggestive of a parotid mass. However, lesions of the temporomandibular joint and mandible may also present in this fashion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/52. Gardner's syndrome - a case report.Gardner's syndrome is the association of multiple colonic polyps (familial adenomatous polyposis coli - FAP) with sebaceous cysts and jaw osteomas. The significance of this dominantly inherited condition to the dentist is that the colonic polyps usually undergo malignant change by the fourth decade and the extra-intestinal lesions may be apparent before those in the bowel. As such, early detection of multiple jaw osteomas and/or multiple sebaceous cysts (particularly on the scalp) may lead to appropriate further investigation and treatment which might be life saving. diagnosis of this condition also has implications for other family members.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.034069980241677keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/52. Uncommon peripheral osteoma of the mandible: report of two cases.The osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm of bone. Peripheral osteoma of the mandible is uncommon. It is often asymptomatic and usually discovered when a patient complains of esthetic problems and presents for treatment. Peripheral osteomas have a characteristic clinical and radiographic appearance, but their pathogenesis is obscure. Described here are two patients with peripheral osteoma of the mandible, which might occur as a result of a combination of trauma and muscle traction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/52. Clinical and radiological findings in Gardner's syndrome: a case report and follow-up study.Gardner's syndrome is characterized by colorectal adenomas, multiple osteomas, especially of the skull, and various soft-tissue tumours. The disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder and all untreated patients will develop colorectal adenocarcinomas. Since the clinical and radiological stigmas in the maxillofacial area, such as exosteal and endosteal osteomas, skin cysts, atypical skin pigmentation and abnormal dental findings or radiopaque lesions can precede the often symptomless adenomas for many years, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons and radiologists should be familiar with the manifestations of this disease. A case is reported to illustrate the dentist's role in the diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome. In a follow-up study of 11 patients with colorectal adenomas, the typical triad of features of Gardner's syndrome was found in eight. In six patients, bony changes were demonstrated by panoramic radiography. It is proposed that radiography of the jaws may serve as a valuable tool for the early detection of carriers of Gardner's syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017034990120839keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/52. Giant ossifying fibroma. Case report on a bimaxillary presentation.Ossifying fibroma is a slow-growing, benign neoplasm, but some lesions behave aggressively, reaching massive proportions, thus demanding special treatment. The following case report holds particular interest, because of the simultaneous occurrence of an active ossifying-cementifying fibroma in the maxilla and mandible with the maxillary lesion attaining enormous size.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/52. Traumatically induced peripheral osteoma. Report of a case.Osteomas of the jaws are well-defined lesions that can present as an isolated finding or as part of a syndrome (e.g., Gardner's syndrome). The etiology of peripheral osteomas is somewhat controversial. Trauma has been implicated by several authors, and osteoma is presented here as a rather striking lesion with well-defined traumatic origins.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017034990120839keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/52. Multiple huge osteomas of the mandible causing disfigurement related with Gardner's syndrome: case report.As osteomas of the bones including the jaws may be the initial symptom or clinical finding in the Gardner's syndrome, this entity should always be included in the differential diagnosis. A 20-year-old boy was referred to our clinic from another medical center. Extra-oral examination of the patient revealed an obvious asymmetry and disfigurement of the left mandibular corpus, angle and ramus. A panoramic radiograph revealed two huge osteomas at the angle, ramus and two smaller osteomas at the inferior border of the mandible. At the same time, there were an impacted canine and premolar. Diffuse sclerosis of the whole mandible was also seen. Upon the suspicion of Gardner's syndrome, barium passage radiographs of the intestine were requested and multiple polyps were observed. All of these findings led us to the diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the dentist needs to be aware of the components of this entity because manifestations in the head and neck including epidermoid cysts, osteomas, odontomas, exostoses, supernumerary and impacted teeth are common. At the same time, osteomas causing disfigurement on the face related with Gardner's syndrome with increased uptake in scintigraphic examination should be treated by surgical excision of the lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8741778472637keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/52. A case of gardner syndrome with a mutation at codon 1556 of APC: a suggested case of genotype-phenotype correlation in dental abnormality.A 25-year-old man with suspected gardner syndrome was introduced to our hospital by a dentist who, during examination of the patient, had found dental dysplasias and multiple osteomas of the jaw. Radiographs, endoscopy and biopsies revealed adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Genetic analysis of peripheral lymphocytes revealed a one-base deletion at codon 1556 in exon 15 of APC, which caused a frame shift and a premature stop at codon 1564. The pedigree analysis demonstrated five patients in his family who presented with dental abnormality and osteomas in addition to adenomatous polyposis of the colon. Although the relationship between the location of APC mutations and dental abnormalities remains controversial, this case supports the hypothesis that a mutation at around codon 1556 of APC is closely associated with dental abnormality and osteomas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017034990120839keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/52. Giant osteomata of the mandible.Osteomas are benign tumours of bone. They are uncommon in the jaws and usually present because of facial asymmetry or trismus. Osteomas arising from the lingual aspect of the mandibular ramus are rare and asymptomatic, usually discovered on routine radiography. We present two cases, and discuss their aetiology, presentation and management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.58846356154941keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
