Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour of the maxilla & #8211; A rare case report
Annette M Bhambal, Akhil Trivedi, Priyanka Deshmukh, GC ShivakumarJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(3):425-425 A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumour, which was first described by J. J. Pindborg in 1955, hence it is also called the Pindborg tumour. It constitutes less than 1% of the entire odontogenic tumours and 0.4–3.0% of all intraosseous tumours. The origin of CEOT is still unclear. It may be derived from the oral epithelium, reduced enamel epithelium, stratum intermedium or remnants of the primitive dental lamina. Surg...

Spindle cell haemangioma & #8211; Report of a rare entity
Vindhya Savithri, Rakesh Suresh, Mahija Janardhanan, Thara AravindJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(3):424-424 Spindle cell haemangioma is a rare benign vascular neoplasm. Its occurrence in the oral cavity is uncommon and may be mistaken for other common oral lesions such as mucoceles or fibromas. Microscopically, it has features which are similar to those of other vascular neoplasms and may be a cause for potential mis-diagnosis. In this article, we report a case in the lower lip of a young male patient. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

Double facial talons on maxillary incisor & #8212;A rare case report and new proposed classification system
We report a case of a 10 year-old female patient with a large double talon's cusp on the permanent left maxillary central incisor who presented with issues of soft tissue irritation and esthetic concern. One of the highlighting feature of this documented case was the difference in the extent of both talon's cusps on the facial surface of 21 teeth. As per Mayes' classification system, the talon towards the midline belonged to stage 2 and the talon away from the midline belonged to stage 3. Highlights: Based on the previous literature search on classification systems, we intended to propose ...

Malignancy mimics- diagnostic perplexities for oral and maxillofacial pathologists
Conclusions: Pathologists should be aware of the conditions where the diagnosis of malignancy needs stricter evaluation to rule out malignant mimics. In such scenarios, correlation of light microscopy findings with clinical and radiological details cannot be overemphasized. Advanced pathological aids such as IHC, where necessary are often indispensable for reaching the accurate diagnosis in these cases. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

Expression of tyrosinase gene in gingiva: A pilot study
Conclusion: TYR gene expression and the degree of gingival melanin hyperpigmentation are positively correlated. Hence the assessment of TYR enzyme activity in gingiva could be of great value in today's cosmetologically conscious individuals. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

Comparative evaluation of serum high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein levels and glycated hemoglobin levels and periodontal status in type 2 diabetic patients: A pilot project
Conclusion: Varied associations were found between dyslipidemia, glycemic control and periodontal inflammation. Further longitudinal as well as interventional studies may be beneficial to ascertain the causal relationship between cholesterol levels, periodontal status and diabetes mellitus.

Oral lesions and periodontal status in diabetics and non-diabetics: A hospital based study
Conclusion: The study reaffirmed higher prevalence of xerostomia and periodontal disease among diabetic subjects. However, contrary to previous studies, no significant differences were found in the prevalence of traumatic ulcer, fissured tongue, lichen planus, and parotid enlargement.

Assessment of condyle-coronoid angle and gonial angle for gender determination: A digital panoramic study in Bagalkot population
Conclusion: The results of the study show that greater mandibular angle aids in gender dimorphism and proves to be beneficial in gender estimation. Gonial angle and condyle-coronoid angle can be used to differentiate gender with high accuracy. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

A rare osteolytic lesion in the mandible: A diagnostic dilemma
Priyanka Singh, Manpreet Arora, Aparna Dave, Radhika RaiJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(3):408-413 Odontogenic myxofibroma is a benign tumour that is rarely encountered in any bone other than jaws. It accounts for only 3–11% of all odontogenic tumours. The pathogenesis of these tumours is still controversial and may arise from myxomatous degeneration or fibrous stroma or from the mesenchymal portion of the tooth germ. Clinically, they are slow-growing and can cause gradual expansion of the cortical plates, loosening, displacement of teeth, and rarely root resorption. Biologicall...

Infiltrating lipomatosis, an etiology for TMJ ankylosis ?
We report a case with clinical and radiological evidence of a 34-year-old female patient who reported a swelling in the left middle third of the face with exophytic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis of the left side resulting in restricted mouth opening and facial asymmetry since 21 years. The number of cases reported in the literature is rare. Surgery is the treatment of choice. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology)

A buccal mucosa ulcer as the first sign of tuberculosis
Paulo S S Pina, Celso A Lemos, Suzana C. O M de SousaJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(3):399-403 Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused mostly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Oral lesions caused by this disease are not common, and most of them represent secondary involvement of the initial pulmonary focus. Therefore, the discovery of lung tuberculosis because of the investigation of oral lesions is rare. This paper reports a case of a 61-year-old male patient who presented with a painfully ulcerated lesion in labial commissure and buccal mucosa, without any comorbidities or symptoms associated...

Transepidermal elimination of suture material in lip biopsy specimen
Himani Tiwari Chaturvedi, Chandrashekher Chaturvedi, Smitha Thammaiah, Varsha PatelJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2022 26(3):392-394 Transepidermal elimination (TE) is a well-known phenomenon by which dermal materials are expelled through an active epithelial-dermal connective tissue interaction. It has been associated with many cutaneous disorders and described as a regular or sporadic occurrence in a variety of dermatologic conditions. TE as a means of expulsion by skin, either externally introduced or endogenously generated foreign material, is well recognized but rarely appreciated phenomenon. Hence, here...
