1/69. Glial choristoma of the tongue: a case report and review of the literature.Heterotopic brain tissue is an extremely rare developmental malformation. It is considered to be one of the very rare choristomatous lesions involving the oral cavity. We present a case of glial choristoma located on the dorsal surface of the tongue, midline area, in an 8-month-old African-American female baby. The clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical features are presented. In addition, a review of previously reported cases and their probable embryogenesis are analyzed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/69. Coexisting congenital sublingual dermoid and bronchogenic cyst.A congenital dermoid together with a bronchogenic cyst at the base of the tongue is extremely rare. We describe a 5-year-old boy who presented with an enlarged anterior segment of mandible, slight swelling of the left submandibular region, and a large swelling of the floor of the mouth that was displacing the tongue posteriorly. Both cysts were successfully excised and the boy made an uncomplicated recovery. Occlusion and mastication returned to normal and his speech improved remarkably.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.066894155234714keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/69. Heterotopic oral gastrointestinal cyst: report of 2 cases and review of the literature.Oral heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst is a rare entity occurring in infants and children and showing a predilection for males. The cyst usually appears as an asymptomatic swelling in the floor of the mouth. Difficulty in feeding, swallowing, respiration, and speech have been reported in approximately 30% of those affected. The tongue-in particular, its anterior aspectis involved in up to 60% of reported cases. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features of cases of heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst involving the anterior tongue in a 2-year-old girl and the anterior floor of the mouth in a 2-month-old boy are presented, and theories of pathogenesis are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.13378831046943keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/69. Massive postoperative swelling of the tongue: manual decompression and tactile intubation as a life-saving measure.Massive swelling of the tongue due to haemorrhage is a rare but potentially fatal complication secondary to trauma, surgery, tumour invasion or uncontrolled anticoagulant therapy. This article presents a report of bleeding from the left lingual artery secondary to elective excision of a lipoma of the floor of the mouth and subsequent life-threatening upper airway obstruction. In this case, the upper airway obstruction was managed by manual decompression of the tongue and tactile nasal intubation. To our knowledge this case provides the first description of using this method in life-threatening upper airway obstruction caused by massive haemorrhagic swelling of the tongue.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.066894155234714keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/69. Critical review of lymphomatoid papulosis of the oral cavity with case report.A 60-year-old woman was referred to the Department of Dental medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center for evaluation of multiple lesions of the tongue. She reported a long history of recurrent papular cutaneous eruptions that waxed and waned. A biopsy specimen of one of the cutaneous lesions was diagnosed as lymphomatoid papulosis. Sporadic, recurrent oral ulcers that resolved spontaneously were noted 10 to 14 days before the initial visit. These ulcers had recurred for the past 17 years. The most recent oral lesion was an erythematous, irregular, solitary ulcerated area on the middle third dorsum of tongue. The area quickly enlarged, ultimately developing extensive surface necrosis. Shortly after, a similar lesion on the posterior dorsum of the tongue developed. biopsy specimens of the former lesion showed numerous, large, atypical, pleomorphic, and hyperchromatic cells with abundant mitoses. The large, atypical cells were immunohistochemically proven to be T lymphocytes. A diagnosis of lymphomatoid papulosis was made. Two weeks later, the tongue lesions had spontaneously and totally resolved. The clinical, histomorphologic, and immunohistochemical features, as well as gene rearrangement studies of this rare entity, are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/69. tuberculosis of the tongue secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis.Both secondary and primary tuberculosis of the tongue and oral cavity are rare. A case of tuberculosis of the tongue secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis in a 41-yr-old male patient is described. The clinical manifestation, diagnosis and response to the antituberculosis treatment are considered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/69. Emergency tracheostomy following life-threatening hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth during immediate implant placement in the mandibular canine region.BACKGROUND: The edentulous interforaminal mandibular area is frequently the preferred area for implant placement. methods: A case of emergency tracheostomy following life-threatening hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth during immediate implant placement in the mandibular canine region is described. The probable cause was bleeding from the sublingual artery or a branch of that artery following implant perforation of the lingual cortex. RESULTS: Healing was uneventful and the patient was released from the hospital after 11 days. Three years later, CT showed a well-osseointegrated implant with a severe buccolingual inclination. CONCLUSIONS: It is stressed that short implants (14 mm or less) should be used in the mandibular canine region and that effective treatment of this complication is essential.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33447077617357keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/69. nicorandil can induce severe oral ulceration.OBJECTIVE: To increase physicians' and dentists' awareness that nicorandil is a potential inducer of severe mouth ulceration. STUDY DESIGN: Nine new cases of ulceration from 3 European countries were included in this study. RESULTS: Oral ulceration developed within 9 months of beginning nicorandil therapy, and ulcers resolved within 1 month of withdrawal of the drug. No lesions developed on other epithelia. CONCLUSIONS: A number of drugs used in the care of patients with cardiovascular disease can cause oral adverse effects. nicorandil, a new potassium-channel activator used in some countries to treat angina pectoris, precipitates persistent ulcerative stomatitis in some patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.066894155234714keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/69. 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 = 1keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/69. Cystic and glial mixed hamartoma of the tongue.Choristomas and mixed hamartomas of the oral cavity are uncommon lesions that show a variety of clinical presentations, histological appearances and growth patterns. We report a case of an unusual mixed hamartoma of the posterior tongue composed of dermoid cyst, sebaceous and glial elements. magnetic resonance imaging indicated a predominantly cystic lesion limited to the pharyngeal and posterior part of the anterior tongue. A conservative approach was adopted and the lesion has shown minimal growth for 2 years following diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
