Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is an epitelial malignant tumour that can occur in skin and mucosa. The etiopathogenesis of this entity remains unclear although tobacco (smokable and chewed), alcohol, virus…
Background and objectives: The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in young (less than 40 years of age) and elderly (over 80 years of age) patients is rising. However,…
Background and objectives: Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant, inherited cancer disease with a rare incidence. Diagnostic features are frequently missing in young patients, making the recognition difficult. The presence…
Introduction: Odontogenic keratocyst tumour (OKT) is a benign pathology. Affects more mandibule than maxilla. Usually asymptomatic, their finding is commonly radiographic. Two cases are described. Case 1: Male with radiographic…
Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the predictive value of standardized uptake value(SUV) measured by (18)F-FDG PET for regional lymph nodes (rLN) metastasis in patients with…
We report the case of an odontogenic carcionsarcoma in a 9 year old girl. The tumour destroyed both buccal and lingual cortices of the right mandible. A mandibulectomy was performed,…
Background and objectives: The use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) has evolved greatly in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). During the past few years,…
Background and objective: A keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT) is considered a benign neoplasm of odontogenic origin which may present an aggressive and infiltrative behavior leading to high recurrence rates. To…
The odontogenic keratocyst tumour (OKCT) etiology is probably closely related to the remnants of the dental lamina. This lesion is of particular interest because of it propensity to recur and…
In order to evaluate the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) and its intracellular mediator SMAD4 in oral cancer, a study was performed on 91 oral squamous cell carcinoma…
Extracapsular spread (ECS) is one of the most significant predictors of treatment outcome in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). However, the mechanism of occurring ECS remains unclear. To solve this…
Oral pathology forms the an integral part of dental sciences.With the current advancement in investigative fields the understanding of the diseases in the oral and maxillofacial region has become more…
Crohn’s disease has numerous oro-facial presentations. Intra-oral indications of Crohn’s disease are relatively common and well recognised, including oral ulceration and cobblestone mucosa. There are, however, many less well recognized…
Basal cell adenoma is a rare type of benign salivary gland tumour found most commonly in the parotid gland. We present an extremely rare case of basal cell adenoma arising…
Background: Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally invasive and aggressive tumours originated in primordial mesenchymal odontogenic tissues, which do not metastasize. They present slow growth and are usually asymptomatic. They…
Background and objectives: Sulindac exerts antineoplastic effects in various malignant neoplasms, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines. Our purpose was to explore sulindac effects in the hamster’s cheek…
Background and aim: Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant epithelial odontogenic tumour that histologically retains the features of ameloblastic differentiation and exhibits cytological features of malignancy in the primary or…
Background and objectives: It is generally accepted that cancer development in the oral mucosa may be preceded by an identifiable but as yet non-invasive precursor lesions. The aim of this…
Background and objectives: Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis is a destructive disease ranging from solitary to generalised osteolytic lesions. This aims to emphasise awareness since most frequent presentations are within the oral…
Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the association between primary tumour (oscc) and regional nodal metastasis in clinically negative neck. Materials and methods: The data presented in…
