Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary malignant bone neoplasms, which predominantly occurs in the long bones and rarely in the maxillofacial area. We present a rare case of maxillary OS early diagnosed in a 17-year-old girl through clinical, radiological and histological examination. The treatment involved surgical resection of the tumor followed by radiation therapy and chemother...

Odontogenic tumors contain a heterogeneous collection of lesions that are categorized from hamartomas to benign and malignant neoplasms of inconstant aggressiveness. Odontogenic tumors are usually extraordinary with assessed frequency of short of 0.5 cases/100,000 population for every year. The lesions such as odontogenic tumors are inferred from the components of the tooth-structuring contrapt...

AIM OF THE STUDY Presents our experience in reconstruction of postsurgical defects with use of temporal muscle flap. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the years 1996-2010 we treated 10 patients with malignant neoplasms of maxillo-facial region. Following tumor removal the fascia-muscle flaps of temporal muscle were used for reconstruction. Temporal muscle flaps were applied in 5 cases for reconstructin...

Osseointegrated implants are now commonplace in contemporary dentistry. However, a number of complications can occur around dental implants, including peri-implantitis, maxillary sinusitis, osteomyelitis, and neoplasms. There have been several reports of a malignant neoplasm occurring adjacent to a dental implant. In this report, we describe 2 such cases. One case was that of a 75-year-old man ...

AIM Compound odontoma has been reported to be the most common of all odontogenic neoplasms and tumor- like lesions. Only rarely the treatment of this lesion in association with an impacted tooth has been reported. CASE REPORT A compound odontoma in a 10-year-old girl, associated with an impacted permanent incisor is described, focusing on the diagnosis and the importance of early treatment o...

conclusions alendronate may be considered a therapeutic option for improving the bone formation process and reducing resorption in different bone grafting procedures. further detailed studies should focus on dosage and time-dependent effects of alendronate on bone remodeling. results at 6 weeks, the bone area was significantly larger in the xenograft-alendronate group (33.0% ± 5.0%) than in the...

Organizing hematomas occur in many locations and simulate neoplasms. They all have similar structure, with a central mass of blood, a wall of granulation tissue, and dense, fibrous tissue at the periphery. There have been sporadic reports of organizing hematoma not only in soft tissue but also in brain, adrenal gland, lung and maxillary sinus. We report a case of nontraumatic head and neck orga...

background esophageal, stomach, and colorectal cancers are commonly lethal gastrointestinal tract (git) neoplasms, causing almost two million deaths worldwide each year. some environmental risk factors are acknowledged; however, genetic defects can significantly contribute to predisposition to git cancers. accordingly, recent works have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) within m...

Background & objective:Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities compared with the pleural involvement by metastatic carcinoma. The current study aimed at investigating the complete spectrum of pleural neoplasms and differentiating between them with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Consecutive pleu...
