Abstract Reactive soft tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity. These lesions usually occur as a painless non-neoplastic proliferation. Surgical excision of these lesions will cause aesthetic and mucogingival problems in the area. In this case, a prominent lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 40-year-old woman had recurred after two years. Surgical treatment was performed with complete ...

  Two rare cases of extra-articular diffuse variant giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath are presented, at the elbow of a 68-year-old female and the foot of a 56-year-old male. Both patients presented with a palpable masses and marginal excision was performed; histological sections confirmed the diagnosis of extra-articular giant cell tumor. No adjuvant therapy was administered. At the last fo...

osteochondroma or exostosis is the most common benign bone tumor, and occurring frequently in the proximal humerus, tibia, and distal femur. it rarely affects talus. osteochondroma of talus is a very rare etiology of tarsal tunnel syndrome (tts). we report a rare case of extensive osteochondroma of the talus in a 60 year old female presenting with multiple swellings around the ankle and symptom...

In forest canopies, it is common to perform leaf-level gas-exchange measurements on recently excised branches, often without testing for excision-related biases. We conducted a formal test of excision effects using from cut and uncut canopy branches three deciduous hardwoods - sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), white oak (Quercus alba L.). Across all...

introduction: lasers have made tremendous progress in the field of dentistry and have turned out to be crucial in oral surgery as collateral approach for soft tissue surgery. this rapid progress can be attributed to the fact that lasers allow efficient execution of soft tissue procedures with excellent hemostasis and field visibility. when matched to scalpel, electrocautery or high frequency de...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare tumor of dermal fibroblast. Diagnosis poses challenge to every surgeon. Its propensity recur can be attributed its characteristic finger-like projections, misdiagnosis, and incomplete excision. Wide local excision with adequate margins may lead functional defects cosmetic blemishes. Most cases undergoing second surgery warrants reconstructive pro...

congenital double lip anomaly is an infrequent developmental abnormality affecting the lips, more commonly the upper lip. 5 cases of double lip are being reported for the first time from iran and all confined to the upper lip. a new surgical excision is being introduced which is called transverse cupid bow-like elliptical incision. the previous traditional method was a simple elliptical excisio...

  Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely involves joints. Although there are several reports of arthroscopic osteoid osteoma excisions, to our knowledge, there are no reports of this type of treatment for osteoid osteoma in carpal bones. We report two cases of arthroscopic (a person who had a pain in the left wrist and the other one with carpal tunnel syndrome) with excision of oste...
