Based on the physical and radiographic examinations, left temporomandibular j...

Mucocele and traumatic neuroma are two lesions related to the traumatic events; however there is only one reported case in which these two entities were perceived simultaneously. The current study reported a 21-year-old man who complained of painless recurrent swelling, accompanied by paresthesia on his left lower labial mucosa. He had a previous history of similar lesion and had been treated w...

Mucocele of the appendix is a rare lesion, characterized by distension of the lumen due to accumulation of mucus material. Correct preoperative diagnosis is seldom achieved. If left untreated, the mucocele may rupture producing a potentially fatal peritoneal spread. The type of surgical treatment is related to the dimensions and histology of the mucocele. In this paper, the case of a 49-year-ol...
