The etiologies of Keinböck's disease and intraosseous ganglion remain unknown. Both entities are rare and the coexistence of these two pathologies in the same patient and hand is even less frequent. We report the case of a 40-year-old man with a longstanding history of martial arts practice (karate) who developed an avascular necrosis of the lunate concomitant with a giant intraosseous ganglion...

Primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare and unique neoplastic lesion commonly occurring in the jaws. It is locally aggressive with very poor prognosis. Hereby we are presenting a case of proliferative growth from the non-healing extraction socket in a 45 year old female patient with eroded coronoid process and ramus of the mandible radiographically. (Lakshman AR, Kanneppady SK: ...

This is the third part of a review of the clinicopathologic features of intraosseous carcinoma of the jaws (IOCJ). In parts 1 and 2, we discussed metastatic and salivary-type and odontogenic carcinomas, respectively. This part deals with primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. Again, based on a critical approach, we emphasize histopathologic features, diagnostic difficulties, discuss hist...

A 29-year-old healthy patient was submitted for exploration of intraosseous, unicystic lesions of the mandibular angle distal to the wisdom tooth of both sides. Histological investigation of the enucleated cystic lesions revealed bilaterally developed lymphoepithelial cysts (LEC). Healing was uneventful and re-ossification of the bone complete. LEC are rarely diagnosed in oral tissues and usual...

Intraosseous infusion has been recommended as a rapid and effective form of circulatory access in the collapsed child. Recognised sites for insertion include the tibia, femur, iliac crest, sternum, and clavicle. The case of a 3 year old collapsed child is described who was successfully resuscitated with the use of an intraosseous needle placed in the calcaneum; the method of needle insertion is...

Primary neurogenic tumors of the lung are rare. Often, their histologic behavior presents a treatment dilemma. We present a case of benign endobronchial neurilemmoma managed by means of YAG laser resection together with a brief discussion of the management options available for these tumors.

Intraosseous ameloblastoma is the most common and simple type of ameloblastoma prevalent among odontogenic tumors. Clinico-radiographically intraosseous ameloblastoma presents as slow, painless swelling or expansion of the jaws and described as multilocular expansile radiolucency that occurs most frequently in mandibular molar/ramus area. This article describes a case of follicular ameloblastom...
