The diverse role of oral fibroblasts in normal and disease
RJ Vijayashree, B SivapathasundharamJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(1):6-13 Fibroblasts are the major cellular component of the connective tissue. They differ both structurally and functionally based on their location. The oral fibroblasts vary from the dermal fibroblasts in their origin, properties and also functions. These cells play an important role in wound healing, tumor progression and metastasis, allergic reactions. In this review, the various functions of the oral fibroblasts are discussed in detail.

Bilateral hilar sialoliths in a child: A rare occurrence
Sanjeev Kumar, Sunil Kumar, Varun Arya, Fatema Bootwala, Vatsala Ranganathan, Rishabh Thakker, Aasimah Hameed, Susmita SaxenaJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):143-145 Salivary sialolithiasis is a well-known cause for obstructive disease of the submandibular and parotid glands. However, the condition frequently occurs unilaterally, and it is uncommon to find a patient reporting with stones in both submandibular or parotid glands. Children below the age of 16 years rarely suffer from salivary stones. Thus, bilateral sialoliths in a child are extremely rare, with only four previous cases been reported in...

Management of oral leukoplakia in patients with Fanconi anemia
Roberto Pippi, Cira Di Gioia, Ursula La Rocca, Amelia Bellisario, Anna Paola IoriJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):133-138 Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease involving an increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia and solid tumors, especially head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas, for which the oral cavity is the most frequent site of occurrence. The patient presented in this study underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and developed nonhomogeneous oral leukoplakia after 7 years, which was promptly removed and diagnosed with high-grade epithelial dyspl...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma in coca chewers from a north region of Argentina: A case series and review of literature
This study aimed to present a case series of patients with a coca chewing habit that developed OSCC, in the absence of risk factors for oral cancer. Patients were evaluated in Hospital Señor del Milagro, Salta, Argentina. None of them had a relevant morbid history and presented intraoral tumors, with an ulcerated surface on the gingivobuccal complex. Coca chewing habit was recorded in all cases. Present cases could start discussions and new lines of researches focusing on the habit of coca leaves chewing as a risk factor for OSCC. It would be very useful to know the underlying mechanisms between this habit and ...

Extragingival pyogenic granuloma of the lower lip masquerading as a vascular lesion
Jyoti Prajapat, Rajesh Prajapat, Sanjeev B Khanagar, Salman SiddeeqhJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):119-123 Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign nonneoplastic mucocutaneous lesion. It occurs as a result of chronic irritation or due to hormonal changes. The most favorable site for this fairly common lesion is gingiva, but rarely, it can occur outside the oral cavity, later often difficult to diagnose, as a diverse group of the pathologic process can produce such lesions outside the oral cavity. The diagnosis is also challenging as the lesions appear as smooth or lobulated red nodules with easy bleedin...

The clinical challenges and dilemma in the management of uncommon maxillary sinus tumors & #8722; A report of two cases
Siddhanth Jain, Shivakumar Thiagarajan, Poonam Panjwani, Pranav Sathe, Mukta RamadwarJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):116-118 Maxillary sinus is the common site for the nose and paranasal sinus tumors with diverse histopathological types and the treatment for each may differ. Making a histopathological diagnosis on occasion can be challenging. We had two patients presenting with upper alveolus growth in whom establishing the histopathological diagnosis was challenging. Through clinical evaluation, imaging (computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging) and identification of key histopathologi...

Brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism with multiple lesions
Sumit Majumdar, Divya Uppala, Sreekanth Kotina, Bandi AlekhyaJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):111-115 Brown tumors are rare focal giant-cell lesions that arise as a direct result of the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone tissue in some patients with hyperparathyroidism. Browns tumor is a syndrome associated with an increase in PTH levels by parathyroid glands resulting in hypercalcemia. In the present case report, a 44-year-old female patient presented with a rare case of brown tumor with multiple lesions in the head-and-neck region. The recent advance in various diagnostic and biochemical t...

Ewing & #39;s sarcoma of the mandible with multilocular radiolucency
We present a case of primary ES of the mandible in a 22-year-old female who reported with a palpable swelling on the lower left part of the face; and intraorally, there was a growth in the molar region. Orthopantomogram showed multilocular radiolucency in the molar–ramus region. The diagnosis was made after surgical resection, histopathology and immunohistochemistry profiling. The patient was treated by cortical segmental resection of mandible combined with chemotherapy and a follow-up was done for 2 years. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma in the adult: A rare case report
Ashlesha Jakkampudi, Sajitha Kaliyath, Padmaraj Hegde, Michelle Mathias, Vikram ShettyJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):103-106 Spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an uncommon type of RMS and has been classified as a separate entity by the WHO in 2013. It affects both children and adults with a greater incidence in males. These tumors can pose a diagnostic challenge and can be difficult to differentiate from other spindle cell malignant tumors in the head and neck. Here, we report a case of spindle cell/sclerosing RMS in a young woman presenting with a swelling on the left side of the fa...
