Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a heterogenous group of neoplasm affecting the lymphoid system. About 10% of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occur in the extra-nodal region in the head and neck area and more than half of extra-nodal lymphoma in the head and neck area involves the Waldeyer's ring. Localization in the oral cavity is rare. We experienced one rare case of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the oral cavity, with trismus and persistent ulcerated swelling in the right-side cheek as the chief complaint.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a well-known pathological condition in oncology derived from the use of bisphosphonates (BPs) and denosumab. Many molecular and immunological targets have been introduced for daily use in cancer treatment in recent years; consequently, new cases of ONJ have been reported in association with these drugs, especially if administered with BPs and denosumab. When the drugs are administered alone, ONJ is rarely seen. The objective of our study was to analyze the recent literature relative to the association of ONJ with these new drugs highlighting the pathogenic, clinical and therapeutic aspects. The close collaboration between maxillofacial surgeon, oncologist, dentist, and dental hygienist remains the most important aspect for the prevention, prompt recognition, and treatment of this pathology.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a non-inherited rare condition that presents during childhood and is characterized by seizures, hemiplegia, mental retardation, cerebral hemiatrophy, calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinuses. The present article highlights a case of a 12-year-old male child with additional clinical findings of café-au-late pigmentation and ocular lipodermoid. This is the first case report of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome to describe oral manifestations, such as unilateral delayed eruption of teeth, hypoplasia, and taurodontism, which could be unique and characteristic of this condition. Oral health care providers and physicians should be aware of these oral observations as dental referrals could warrant early dental prophylactic care and can be useful in diagnosing the possible time of injury and type of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome.

oral cavity has been known to be less common one among oral manifestations of AIDS. The authors experienced a case of CMV infection on tongue of an AIDS patient. Thirty eight years old male developed a lesion on the dorsal surface and tip of tongue, manifesting superficial painful ulcer, and complained of the mouth discomfort. The histopathological features showed changes within the vascular endothelial cells : that is, extremely swollen cells with intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions. Periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) and Gomori's methenamine silver(CMS) stains showed more prominent inclusions. The immunohistochemical stain using cytomegalovirus antibody(CMV Ab) showed strong positivity So it seems to us that was a good example of oral CMV infection in AIDS patient. Therefore we report one case of CMV stomatitis in AIDS patient.]]>

Oral features include repeated occurrence of blisters, erosions, and scars, which lead to limited mouth opening, ankyloglossia, elimination of buccal vestibule, and increased risk of oral carcinoma. Routine dental care or even normal tooth brushing might cause bullae on the oral mucosa. Occasionally, the clinician will be called upon to treat patients with EB and should therefore be aware of specific treatment modifications. we present a reviews of the literature with a case providing adequate anesthetic and surgical care.]]>

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of unknown etiology in which tissues and cells are damaged by pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes. Skin manifestations of SLE include malar rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcer, panniculitis, urticaria, bullae, erythema multiforme and lichen planus-like lesions. It has long been recognized that dystrophic soft tissue calcification may occur in association with certain connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma or dermatomyositis. Soft tissue calcification in a patient with SLE has been rarely reported. We have experienced a patient with SLE who presented with diffuse subcutaneous tissue calcification on face, chest, abdomen and all extremities.

We report a patient diagnosed with neuro-Behcet's disease showing multiple enhancing lesions on a brain MRI that were confined to the cerebral cortex without any involvement of other brain regions. The patient, a 30-year-old man, was admitted because of seizure attacks. He had the symptom triad of recurrent oral ulcer, genital ulcer, and uveitis. Neurologic symptoms included ataxia, dysarthria, and dementia which had progressed over several years. During the hospital course, he underwent a right hemicolectomy due to bowel perforation. A pathological examination showed multiple discrete ulcerations from the cecum to the mid-transverse colon, consistent with Behcet's colitis. A brain MRI revealed multiple small enhancing lesions distributed over wide areas of the cerebral cortex. To our knowledge, this pattern of lesion distribution has not yet been reported in neuro-Behcet's disease.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is characterized by mucocutaneous tenderness and typical hemorrhagic erosions, erythema and epidermal detachment presenting as blisters and areas of denuded skin. SJS is often observed after drug use as well as after bacterial or viral infections. Several drugs are at high risk of inducing SJS, but there are no cases in the English literature regarding anabolic steroid use triggering SJS. In our paper, we describe a case in which use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) was associated with SJS. The patient participated in competitive body-building and regularly took variable doses of AAS. Initial symptoms (headache, weakness, pharyngodynia, and fever) were ignored. After a week he presented to the Emergency Department with a burning sensation on the mouth, lips, and eyes. Painful, erythematous, maculopapular, and vesicular lesions appeared all over the body, including on the genitals. During hospitalization, he also developed a cardiac complication. The patient had not taken any drugs except AAS.

Treating patients with severely worn dentition often requires comprehensive prosthetic treatments. Oral rehabilitation and long-term stability could be achieved by analyzing the cause of the wear and changing vertical dimension. The temporary restoration procedure is executed and patient's adaptation is evaluated by long-term observation when treatment is accompanied with increasing vertical dimension. In this case, 54 year-old male presented with worn dentition and esthetic dissatisfaction. In oral manifestations, severely worn dentition with attrition and erosion is diagnosed. To evaluate change of vertical dimension, interocclusal rest space, facial appearance, pronunciation, clinical crown length, distance from incisor edge to labial vestibule are evaluated. Consequently, 2.5 mm increase of vertical dimension that based on articulator incisal pin is determined. After 8 weeks stabilization period with temporary prostheses, definitive prostheses are fabricated. After 6 months follow up period, satisfactory outcomes were achieved both in functional and esthetic aspects through this procedure.
