An unexpected guest: Pulmonary echinococcosis diagnosed by intraoperative frozen section examination. A case report and literature review
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Jun 12;248:154615. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.154615. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEchinococcosis is caused by tapeworms belonging to the Echinococcus genus. The most common site of infection is the liver although it may involve almost any organ. Symptoms of pulmonary echinococcosis vary depending on the location and structure of the cyst. While uncomplicated cysts usually appear at imaging as well-defined homogeneous lesions with fluid content and smooth walls of variable thickness, complicated lesions may have a more heterogeneous content with higher density making more difficult the distinction from...

Only nine cases of SS in the mandible have been reported to date. The present study described a case of SS arising from the left mandible. A 54-year-old woman was referred to Kyushu University Hospital (Fukuoka, Japan) with a complaint of numbness in the left mental nerve area.
