The responsibility of dentists in radiologic examination of the nasopharynx
The nasopharynx is the site of a number of lesions that potentially affect the well-being of the dental patient (Figure 1). Although dentists are well-acquainted with the comprehensive clinical and radiographic examination of the patient's oral cavity and the head and neck, the nasopharynx has mostly evaded scrutiny. One reason might be that this anatomic region, although included in predoctoral anatomic instruction, has not yet been emphasized in clinical teaching except for the investigation of obstructive sleep apnea.

Calcified Chondroid Mesenchymal Neoplasm: Report of a Case Involving the Temporomandibular Joint Region and Review of the Literature
The calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) represents a recently recognized tumor type with only 50 well-documented cases in the English-language literature. Herein we report an additional case of CCMN presenting as a large mass in the temporomandibular joint region of a 41-year-old female. A review of previously reported cases and the current case of CCMN shows the following features: 1) average age 52 years (range 14 to 87 years) and an approximately even sex distribution; 2) most frequently involved sites: distal extremities (including foot, hand, wrist, forearm) (n=41) and temporomandibular joint/temporal/paro...

Mandibular rhabdomyosarcoma with TFCP2 rearrangement and osteogenic differentiation: a case misdiagnosed as fibrous dysplasia or low-grade central osteosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma with TFCP2-related fusions (TFCP2-RMS) is a rare entity, commonly affects young adults, with a predilection for skeletal involvement. We herein report a 40-year-old female patient with TFCP2-RMS who was misdiagnosed as fibrous dysplasia or low-grade central osteosarcoma of the mandible by referring institutions. Histologically, the tumor showed dominant spindle cells and focal epithelioid cells with marked immature wove bone formation. Immunophenotypically, in addition to the characteristic expression of myogenic markers, ALK, and cytokeratins, tumor cells also unusually expressed osteogenic markers, such ...
