Clinicopathologic Conference Case 5: Swelling of the maxilla in a young child
A nine-year-old male presented to his dentist with the chief complaint that he had noticed “a bump in his mouth a few weeks ago.” The patient reported no pain with eating. His medical history was unremarkable, except for a broken arm a few years prior. The patient is adopted and the family has no medical records from his birth. Extra-oral exam revealed no diagnostic abnormalities and the patient was awake, alert and comfortable with the examination. Upon intraoral physical exam, an expansile fullness of the anterior maxilla was noted (Figure 1). (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Clinical Pathologic Conference Case #6: Oral and Cutaneous Findings in a 14-year-old Female
A 14-year-old female with a history of Kawasaki disease was referred to a university oral medicine clinic by her orthodontist due to swollen, hemorrhagic gingiva and tooth mobility. Scurvy was suspected by the patient's nurse practitioner and confirmed by a measure of ascorbic acid in plasma of less than 5 μmol per liter (0.1 mg per deciliter; reference range, 23 to 114 μmol per liter [0.4 to 2.0 mg per deciliter]). Laboratory testing also revealed vitamin D deficiency with a measured 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of less than 23.3 ng per milliliter (50 nmol per liter; reference range 32.0-100.0 ng per milliliter).

Clinicopathologic Conference Case 3: Palatal Swelling with Sinus Floor Erosion
A 52-year-old male presented to his oral surgeon for evaluation of a right palatal mass that had been present for one year. Clinical symptoms included swelling, and no pain was reported. His past medical history was non-contributory. Intraoral examination revealed a smooth-surfaced mass with a slightly bluish hue, measuring approximately 3.0 cm in its greatest dimension (Figure 1). No surface ulceration was observed. Radiographic evaluation showed erosion of the nasal floor and maxillary sinus in the corresponding area.
