1/24. Bacillary angiomatosis affecting the oral cavity. Report of two cases and review.Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is an infectious disease characterized by proliferative vascular lesions; it mainly affects hiv-positive patients. Multiple cutaneous nodular lesions together with fever, chills, malaise, anorexia, vomiting and headache are the most important clinical manifestations. It may also involve the heart, liver, spleen, bones, lung, muscles, lymph nodes, central nervous system and other organs. erythromycin, 500 mg four times a day, is the drug of choice. The importance of this lesion lies in its clinical and histological similarity with other diseases. Cutaneous and oral lesions of BA clinically resemble Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Histopathologically, BA may be confused with angiosarcoma, pyogenic granuloma and epithelioid hemangioma. We report two hiv-positive men with BA lesions in the oral mucosa. diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and Warthin-Starry silver staining.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/24. Pyogenic granuloma (pregnancy tumor) of the nasal cavity. A case report.BACKGROUND: Pyogenic granuloma is a benign lesion of unknown etiology that occurs in the skin and mucous membranes. It has been reported as a common lesion of the oral cavity and, less commonly, the nasal cavity. Although its etiology is unclear, pyogenic granuloma has long been associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptives and trauma. The term pregnancy tumor has been used to reflect the association with pregnancy; nevertheless, pyogenic granuloma is often misdiagnosed in obstetric patients. CASE: We present the case of a 37-year-old, pregnant woman with an enlarging nasal mass ultimately diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. The patient was treated successfully with endoscopic excision of the lesion. CONCLUSION: Pyogenic granuloma is a rapidly growing lesion that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any gravid patient with a mass in the oral or nasal cavity. The lesion may result in complications of the pregnancy, and management should be individualized for each patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.32521614783064keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/24. Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) of the tongue.A patient with a pyogenic granuloma which occurred in an unusual location and at an earlier age is presented. Pyogenic granuloma is not an uncommon entity which may occur on oral mucosa, face and fingers. The most frequent location encountered for oral cavity pyogenic granuloma is the gingiva and the tongue is a rare location for its occurrence. These lesions are usually seen between 11 and 40 years age. Surgical excision and removal of etiological factors are needed for treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/24. Lobular capillary haemangioma of the nasal cavity: observation of three specific cases.Lobular Capillary Haemangioma of the nasal cavity: observation of three specific cases. Lobular Capillary Haemangioma, unproperly called "Pyogenic granuloma", is a benign vascular tumour pedunculated on the skin and on mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities. Microtrauma and pregnancy are the most often evocated aetiologic factors. epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms of this irregular and friable mass. We report three cases (two adult and one paediatric) of this pathology. Two have as trigger factor a nasal microtrauma, the third an oestro-progestative impregnation. A clinical, radiological and histological description allows us to expose the characteristics of this lesion that remains obscure to many rhinologists. Lobular Capillary Haemangioma has to be evocated in the differential diagnosis of each haemorrhagic endonasal mass.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.062680123192202keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/24. Large cell carcinoma of the lung metastatic to the mandibular gingiva.BACKGROUND: Although metastases of malignant tumors to the jaws are not unusual, metastases to the gingival soft tissues are relatively rare. methods: The clinicopathologic features of a metastatic tumor in the mandibular gingiva originating from lung cancer are described. The patient, a 61-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital with complaints of bloody sputum and chest pain while coughing. The patient's chest radiograph showed an abnormal mass in the left upper lobe. After admission, the patient noticed a swelling of the right mandibular gingiva. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis for tumors of the gingiva and the lung were performed. RESULTS: Radiographic examination did not indicate involvement of the underlying bone. The histopathological findings showed that the gingival tumor consisted of a large cell carcinoma, and the mass of the upper lobe displayed the same histology as that found in the gingiva. Immunohistochemical investigation of the gingival tumor revealed similar results to those found in the mass of the lung. Based on the clinicopathologic findings, this case was diagnosed as primary lung cancer with the gingival tumor deemed metastatic. Multiple metastases were found in areas other than the oral cavity; radiation and chemotherapy for the gingival tumor were performed due to persistent bleeding and pain. CONCLUSIONS: The resemblance of this gingival mass to an inflammatory lesion demonstrates the need for a detailed examination. This case also emphasizes the need to evaluate positive treatment needed to relieve complications in the mouth, even if the prognosis of the primary tumors remains unfavorable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25145773725346keywords = oral cavity, cavity, mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/24. A lump on the tongue: a diagnostic dilemma?This paper is a case report of an oral lesion detected in a female patient in her twenties. The aetiology and pathology was not immediately clear-cut but the patient's history provided a clue to its origins and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. It was a "pregnancy Tumour" which had failed to regress after parturition. This case report will make medical and dental practitioners more aware of lumps and lesions in the mouth. It will also provide a more rational and scientific approach to the management of "pregnancy Tumours".- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0014577372534564keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/24. A giant pyogenic granuloma in the nasal cavity caused by nasal packing.Pyogenic granuloma is a benign, rapidly growing hemorrhagic lesion of unknown origin. This disorder, however, is obscure to many rhinologists, because the nose is a relatively rare location for the lesion. In the practice of otorhinolaryngology, nasal packing is a very common procedure for nasal bleeding and postoperative hemostasis. However, few pyogenic granulomas occurring from nasal packing have been reported in the literature. A 56-year-old man underwent nasal packing with vaseline gauze because of nasal bleeding. Two months later, a dark brown nasal tumor was found in his nasal cavity. He underwent endoscopic endonasal removal of the tumor. The pathology result showed a pyogenic granuloma. This is the third case recorded in the literature of a confirmed pyogenic granuloma occuring as a complication of nasal packing. This uncommon lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing hemorrhagic lesion within the nasal fossa.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.062680123192202keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/24. Tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma: a rare cause of recurrent hemoptysis.Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a polypoid form of capillary hemangioma occurring on the skin and mucosal surfaces. While LCH of the oral and nasal cavity is a well-known entity, tracheal localization is extremely rare. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with recurrent hemoptysis due to a small tumor of the proximal trachea. By endoscopic removal of the tumor by flexible bronchoscopy, the diagnosis of LCH was made, and during the following year there was no recurrent hemoptysis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of histologically proven LCH of the trachea.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.01253602463844keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/24. Pediatric lobular capillary hemangioma of the nasal cavity.Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), also called pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular tumor that is pedunculated on the skin and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. This disease occurs in all ages, but more often in the 3rd decade, and is seen in females more than males. LCH commonly appears in early childhood and affects males more than females in the pediatric age group. The gingiva, lips, tongue and buccal mucosa are the most common sites of mucosal LCH, but the nasal cavity is rare. Micro-trauma and hormonal factors are the most common etiologic factors. epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms. We describe the case of a 6-year-old girl with intra-nasal lobular capillary hemangioma presented with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. This should be considered in the differential diagnosis of childhood endonasal masses with bleeding. Total excision using endoscopic technique is the treatment of choice.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.3126801231922keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
