Intra-oral examination showed a soft fluctant non-haemorrhagic lesion at the left central incisor region of the maxilla arising from the crest of the alveolus (Fig. I). It was a pedunculated, well circumscribed bean-shaped mass of soft tissue measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.5 cm. The clinical diagnosis was congenital epulis. The lesion was excised a week later and the tissue sent for hist...

Peripheral fibroma/fibrous epulis accounts for the great majority of localised gingival swellings as was substantiated by various reports in the literature. A study was undertaken to investigate the clinical features of a series of 204 localised fibrous gingival swellings received by the Histopathology Laboratory, Department of Oral Surgery, National University of Singapore. The female patients...

This is a case report of a reactive lesion which occurs only in the gingiva. This lesion is of a long duration causing erosion of the superficial bone. Histologically it is similar to other epulides of the gingiva but in addition contains ossified tissue. The lesion's confusing terminology is being discussed in view of its understanding to an American-trained or a British-trained surgeon. A rev...

The aim of the study was an evaluation of PCNA and Ki-67 expression in the epithelial and stromal component of fibroepithelial tumours (FT) of the breast in correlation with morphological parameters. A series of 11 fibroadenomas (FA), including 8 cases of the cellular type (FAC), 19 benign phyllodes tumours (PTLGM), 8 bordeline (PTBM) and 6 malignant phyllodes tumours were assessed, using immun...

Abstract Introduction Phyllodes tumours are rare breast fibroepithelial neoplasms. More presentations of these include bilateral disease. Surgical excision with clear margins is the treatment choice. Case Summary We report a case 60-year-old female asynchronous Phyllodes.

BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial tumors accounting for less than 1 % of all breast neoplasms. They are malignant in 20 % of cases. Only a few cases of malignant phyllodes tumors metastatic to bone have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1: A 40 year-old white woman presented with three-week history of pain and functional impairment of the left lower limb. Her clinical p...
