Abstract
Palatal fistulae are a recognised complication in individuals who have undergone surgical repair of a cleft palate, however, congenital or idiopathic palatal fistulae are rare. This report discusses the presentation and treatment of a 16-year-old female with a submucous cleft palate, who presented with a recent onset change in speech and evidence of a new palatal fistula. There was no history of recent infection or known trauma, and the patient had not undergone any previous palatal surgery. This report discusses the clinical presentation, recommended management and relevant literature for this rare phenomenon.

Dent J (Basel) 2022; 10:dj10110213.

Abstract
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species, which is contracted through spores that colonize the respiratory tract, causing rhinosinusitis and pulmonary infections. Oral aspergillosis is rare and, when present, may cause soft tissue and bone destruction, generally in immunodeficient patients. Mandibular Aspergillus osteomyelitis is even rarer, with few cases reported in the literature. A 57-year-old Caucasian woman was referred for the evaluation of painful recurrent swelling in the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge, with purulent drainage, previously treated with multiple surgical debridement procedures and antibiotics without success. The patient was otherwise systemically healthy. Surgical debridement was performed and histopathological examination showed osteomyelitis associated with Aspergillus species. Therapy with oral itraconazole (400 mg per day) was administered for 3 months, resulting in complete resolution. No recurrence was detected after 15 years of follow-up. The patient was rehabilitated with dental implants. In conclusion, non-bacterial microorganisms, such as Aspergillus, should be considered in cases of mandibular osteomyelitis that do not heal after surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy.

J Clin Exp Dent 2021; 13:e961-e968.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palatal perforations not associated with syndromes or neoplasms are rare lesions whose frequency has increased recently. However, their clinical and demographic characteristics have not been fully described. Therefore, this report aimed to establish the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with non-syndromic and non-neoplastic palatal perforations. MATERIAL AND METHODS The file of an oral medicine teaching clinic from January 2004 to December 2018 was reviewed to identify and isolate all cases with a diagnosis of palatal perforation. Cases with a diagnosis of palatal perforation related to congenital alteration, syndrome, or neoplasia were excluded. Age, sex, medical history, and diagnosis were obtained from the clinical history. In addition, a systematic review of the literature was performed using a PICO strategy. MEDLINE electronic databases from January 1990 to December 2018 were systematically reviewed using the combination of keywords with Boolean terms "OR" (palatal perforation, destruction of the palate) and "AND" (drugs, cocaine, mycosis, syphilis, mucormycosis, tuberculosis, trauma). The PRISMA guide was used to identify the different results of the literature search and article selection process. Case reports and case series were included. RESULTS Five cases of non-syndromic, non-neoplastic palatal perforations were identified. All cases were male with a mean age of 42 years. Two cases were related to cocaine use, 2 cases were caused by mucormycosis, and one case by trauma. As for the systematic literature review, 51 non-neoplastic and non-syndromic cases were collected. The cases showed a male predominance, with a mean age of 41 years. The most frequent etiology was chronic cocaine use followed by mucormycosis. CONCLUSIONS Since cocaine use and type II Diabetes Mellitus, risk factors related to non-syndromic and non-neoplastic palatal perforations, have shown a worldwide increase, the clinician should be alert to make an early diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. Key words:Palatal perforation, cocaine-induced, mucormycosis, mycotic infection, drug users.

Abstract
Introduction Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species (spp.). Aspergillosis is the most common source of opportunistic fungal infection in humans. IA can cause serious complications related to high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Presentation of case We report a case of a 22-year-old female with a chief complaint of having a hole in the roof of her mouth. She was diagnosed with SLE in 2009. She had been consuming oral methylprednisolone ever since. In 2018, she experienced worsened symptoms and was hospitalized. She experienced swelling and bleeding of her gums and some of her teeth becoming loose and falling out, and then developing a hole in the roof of her mouth. Subsequently, she was treated with oral cyclophosphamide, oral mycophenolate sodium, and oral fluconazole. She was asked to stop taking oral methylprednisolone. In 2019, the palate biopsy was performed and showed Aspergillus spp. invading the palate. Afterward, the patient was referred to our clinic for defect closure. The patient was operated on for debridement and reconstruction of the defect. There was no recurrence of the defect or complications observed in the follow-up. The patient was satisfied with the surgical results. Discussion IA is a destructive and potentially harmful opportunistic fungal infection and treatments with surgical interventions should be well-thought-out in immunocompromised patients. Conclusion The management of IA are controlling any underlying diseases and surgical debridement or necrotomy. Generally, antifungal therapy and prompt surgical intervention are successful in managing invasive aspergillosis.

Abstract
It is uncommon for a palatal fistula to be detected in individuals who have not undergone surgery, and only sporadic cases have been reported. It is even more difficult to find cases of acquired palatal fistula in patients with submucous or incomplete cleft palate. Herein, we present 2 rare cases of this phenomenon. Case 1 was a patient with submucous cleft palate who acquired a palatal fistula after suffering from oral candidiasis at the age of 5 months. Case 2 was a patient with incomplete cleft palate who spontaneously, without trauma or infection, presented with a palatal fistula at the age of 9 months.

Abstract
The early signs of leukemia can usually manifest in the oral cavity due to infiltration of leukemic cells or due to associated decline in normal marrow elements, especially in the acute phase of leukemia, as common lesions at this stage of the disease can be screened and diagnosed by the dentist. Therefore, the dental community should be aware of the oral manifestations of leukemia and oral complications of anticancer treatment. This can eliminate the oral symptoms of the disease and to improve quality of life for these patients. An extensive search in PubMed line using a combination of terms like “leukemia, children, dental, Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, pediatric” for last ten years was made. Reviews and case reports concerned about acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children were all collected and analyzed and data were extracted. Accordingly, the aim of this review is to highlight on the oral presentations of leukemia in children attending dental clinics and the management of its undesirable side effects.

Abstract
Aspergillosis (a fungal infection by an organism of the Aspergillus species) of the oral cavity is an uncommon condition which most frequently occurs in immunocompromised patients, such as those with haematological malignancies. In such patients, prolonged neutropenia secondary to chemotherapeutic agents enables the spread of invasive aspergillosis, which is unaffected by anatomical barriers. Early detection and treatment of the condition is essential to avoid more serious complications, such as disseminated infection, which results in increased morbidity and mortality. This case report describes a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia who developed localized invasive Aspergillus flavus of the palate. High-dose antifungal therapy was instituted along with surgical removal of the involved tissues. Aspergillosis of the palate was successfully eradicated with no long-term ill effects from the treatment. Management of invasive aspergillosis includes early aggressive antifungal medication combined with surgical removal of the involved tissues.

Abstract
Stomatologic fungal infections display different etiologies, pathogenesis, and clinical presentations. The incidence of rare mycoses of oral cavity is very low. These infections can involve both immunocompromised and immmunocompetent patients with common predisposing factors, such as diabetes or suffering from diseases causing immune system impairment. Oral mycoses can cause acute, chronic, and mucocutaneous lesions. Candidiasis is the most common mouth mycosis. Although occasionally primary mouth pathogens, Cryptococcus spp. or filamentous fungi (Aspergillus spp. and zygomycetes) can cause oral mycoses, with the oral localization more commonly secondary to a more serious systemic infection. The diagnosis of oral mycoses is based on clinical examination; for yeasts, culture is necessary to identify the etiologic agents; for filamentous fungi, in particular for zygomycetes and dimorphic, a definitive diagnosis can be made by histologic examination and pertinent stains with or without isolation of the fungus from the same site.

Abstract
Cocaine abuse has increased in the past decade, with a rise in the reported cases of midpalatine perforations produced as a result. The vasoconstrictive and caustic effect of the drug can produce direct irritation and ischemia of the nasal and palatine mucosa, leading over the long term to the creation of an oronasal perforation secondary to maxillary bone destruction. The present study offers a systematic review of all the clinical cases of necrotic nasopalatine perforations attributed to inhaled cocaine documented in the PubMed literature database. The main clinical characteristics of the disorder and its different management options are examined. Likewise, emphasis is placed on the importance of a correct differential diagnosis with respect to other conditions also characterized by midfacial necrotic destruction. Of the 36 cases included in the study, 21 corresponded to females and 15 to males. Most of the lesions were located in the hard palate (77.7%) with only 5.5% being found in the soft palate. Combined hard and soft palate presentations in turn accounted for 16.6% of the cases. The mean diameter of the perforation was 19.32 ± 16.94 mm (95%CI: 11.81-26.83). The most frequent clinical manifestation was rhinolalia together with the regurgitation of solid food and liquids through the nares. Management consists of a combination of antibiotics, analgesics, prostheses (obturators), and surgical reconstructions of the defect.
