Hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumor of parapharyngeal space having features of neurofibroma and schwannoma in an 8-year-old child & #8211; A rare entity
Himani Tiwari Chaturvedi, Chandrashekher Chaturvedi, Dipayan Jayanta NandyJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):96-102 Tumors of the parapharyngeal space (PPS) are extremely rare in pediatric age group. Out of all head-and-neck neoplasms, PPS tumors comprise only 0.5%. Majority of neoplasms in poststyloid PPS are neurogenic tumors. Conventional benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) includes neurofibromas, schwannomas and perineuriomas. Hybrid PNSTs are rare entities having combined features of more than one histologic type, and the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the...

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of buccal mucosa: Innocuous but invasive
Vaishali Narayen, N D V N Shyam, Renukuntla Shravani, Mudududla PriyankaJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):91-95 Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) was first described in the 19th century which is usually seen in association with lung cancer and is very rare in the oral cavity. Here, we report one such case in a 39-year-old male patient who presented with swelling on the left middle third of the face for 6 months. This is the 12th SNEC of oral cavity case so far reported in the English literature and the third case to be present on buccal mucosa. It presented as a nodular swelling over the bucc...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the retromolar region of an 8-year-old child: A rare finding
P Harshali Patil, Treville Pereira, J Jasmin Winnier, J Subraj ShettyJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):80-83 Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the oral cavity is an extremely rare finding. The etiology and pathogenesis of IMT is controversial and unclear. The tumor requires complete surgical excision and continuous monitoring of clinical consequences. The present article describes the clinical, histological, operative and immunohistochemical features of a case of IMT in the mandibular retromolar region of an 8-year-old male. Histologically, the lesion shows myofibroblastic spindle cell proli...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of anterior maxillary gingiva: An unusual clinical presentation
This article aims to describe IMT as a rare intraoral entity which may involve the anterior maxillary gingiva, involving or sparing the underlying bone, as only a handful of such cases have been reported so far. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. Biopsy and histopathological examination of even the smallest lesions is a must. Timely diagnosis and intervention can prevent severe morbidity that can arise if these lesions are left undiagnosed as aggressive management of lesions that become extensive is mandatory.

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor: Case report of a rare central variant and literature review
Vandana Reddy, Vijay Wadhwan, Roli Singh, Vishal BansalJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):68-72 The dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT), a solid variant of the calcifying odontogenic cysts, is an uncommon odontogenic neoplasm which is aggressive and has a propensity for recurrence. It accounts for <0.5% of all odontogenic tumors which can exhibit intraosseous (central) or extraosseous (peripheral) localization. Till today, only 39 cases of central DGCT have been reported in English literature according to WHO 2017 Classification. Therapeutic intervention of central variant should...

Ameloblastic carcinoma: A case report and evaluation
Adesh S Manchanda, Ramandeep S Narang, Ravneet S NagiJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):63-67 Malignant odontogenic neoplasms are extremely challenging to study due to their rarity and variable clinical presentations. Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is one such odontogenic tumor which has been the subject of controversy, in part because of its scarcity, complicated by confusion in terminology along with complexity in classification. Histologic features of AC resemble tumor cells of ameloblastoma but exhibit cellular atypia. Surgical resection for this kind of lesion, leaving at least a 2 cm free margin cou...

Marsupialization of odontogenic keratocyst using thermoform surgical splint in a pediatric patient, with 3-year follow-up
Srinivas Nallanchakrava, Mallela George Manoj Kumar, Dwitha Animireddy, Garikina ManasaJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):59-62 Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), also known as keratocystic odontogenic tumor, is categorized as one of the developmental epithelial cysts, which accounts 10%–20% of all cystic lesions in jaws. Considering its high recurrence rate, combative treatment modalities such as enucleation and jaw resection are suggested. This case report aims to emphasize clinical, radiological and histological overview of OKC with conservative approach marsupializatio...

Benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumors of the maxillofacial bones: A report of 3 cases with 3 years follow-up
Antoine N Berber, Georges T Aoun, Georges P Aad, Emile N KhalafJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):46-50 Benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumors are lesions derived from the mesenchymal components of the tooth-forming apparatus and are consequently found within the jawbone. Benign fibro-osseous tumors are part of this category of lesions in which normal bone is substituted, initially by fibrous tissue and within time become infiltrated by osteoid and cementoid elements. They are asymptomatic, slow-growing lesions and remain undiagnosed until swelling of the face becomes prominent and they share similar ra...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma - A common neoplasm at an unusual site, mimicking a benign cyst on cytology: Diagnostic pitfall!
Swati Sharma, Sadaf Khan, Manna ValiathanJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(5):30-33 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is known to be a relatively common neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands that can secondarily involve skin. The clinical manifestations, diagnostic cytology and histopathology of MEC presenting as a clinically benign periauricular cystic nodule have been analyzed. The challenge of accurate diagnosis can be illustrated by the fact that initially, on cytology, this tumor was misdiagnosed as a benign epidermal inclusion cyst due to the presence of mucin-filled cells which were misinte...
