Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...

background and objective: different mechanisms may lead to the development of soft tissue tumor-like lesions in the oral cavity. many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into fibrous, vascular, and giant cell types. the purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopatholo...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

injection of synthetic fillers for soft tissue augmentation is increasing over the last decade. one of the most common materials used is hyaluronic acid (ha) that is safe and temporary filler for soft tissue augmentation. we present a case of 54-year-old female who experienced vascular occlusion and nasal alar necrosis following ha injection to the nasolabial folds. she suffered from pain, necr...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. Occurrence in limbs is even rarer. These tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. Granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. Local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in m...

primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pnet) is usually an aggressive, rapidly progressing and metastasizing tumor. occurrence of this type of tumor in the kidney is considered as unusual and few cases have been reported so far. we present a metastatic pnet arising probably from the kidney in a 17-year-old female patient with local invasion and metastasis to the stomach. pnet should be considered as ...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. CFT of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric CFTs reported in English literature. This benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

Congenital epulis is a very rare benign soft-tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, which is also known as “gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn”. It occurs almost exclusively as a single tumor along the alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborn females. Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter...

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...
