Rakitovan M, Nicoara A, Closca RM, Balica NC, Stefanescu EH, Baderca F. Leiomyoma with Uncommon Localization-Incisive Papilla and Palatal Fibromucosa: A Case Report. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1346. [PMID: 37512157 PMCID: PMC10385984 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59071346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
The current paper presents a case of a 33-year-old female with an uncommon localization of a leiomyoma in the oral cavity-the anterior palatal fibromucosa and the incisive papilla. The patient referred to the Oro-Maxillo-Facial Surgery Clinic of Emergency City Hospital Timisoara, Romania, complaining of a slight discomfort in the act of mastication and the occurrence and persistence of a diastema between the upper central incisors, due to the presence of a nodule located in the anterior palatal mucosa, between the upper central incisors, without any changes of the subjacent bone structure in the anterior hard palate visible on a cone beam computed tomography image (CBCT). The lesion was removed using a surgical excisional biopsy and a histopathological examination was performed using morphological Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining and additional immunohistochemical (IHC) reactions, in order to confirm the diagnosis. On microscopic examination, bundles of spindle cells were found with eosinophilic cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei, with finely granular chromatin. The immunohistochemical reactions were positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and desmin and negative for vimentin. The treatment of choice for leiomyoma of the oral cavity is surgical excision with clear margins, followed by periodical clinical monitoring.

Oral lymphatic malformations: A multicenter study of 208 cases and literature review. Head Neck 2021; 43:3562-3571. [PMID: 34517432 DOI: 10.1002/hed.26854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 07/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the frequency and analyze demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals with a histopathological diagnosis of oral lymphatic malformations (OLMs). METHODS A multicenter study was performed, collecting biopsy record data from a consortium of Brazilian Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Centers. A review was also conducted to compare this data with cases already available in the literature. RESULTS This study retrieved 208 cases of OLM in the multicenter study and 1035 cases in the literature review. In both, OLMs affected male and female individuals equally, with the most affected site being the tongue. Individuals ≥60 years of age were uncommonly affected. Symptomatic and larger lesions were more commonly reported in the literature review. CONCLUSIONS This study comprises the largest sample of OLMs to date. OLMs are rare conditions, without sex predilection. The elderly proved to be less frequently affected, and the tongue is the most commonly affected site.

Benign connective and soft-tissue neoplasms of the oral and maxillofacial region: Cross-sectional study of 1066 histopathological specimens. Head Neck 2020; 43:1202-1212. [PMID: 33340377 DOI: 10.1002/hed.26580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Benign connective and soft-tissue neoplasms (CSTNs) are unusual in the head and neck region. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the demographic and clinicopathological features of these neoplasms. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted of cases diagnosed as benign CSTNs, with data collected from biopsy records. The chi-square test was used. A p-value <0.05 was considered indicative of statistical significance. RESULTS Among the 38 119 specimens, 1066 (2.79%) were benign CSTNs: 369 fibroblastic/myofibroblastic, 250 adipocytic, 179 vascular, 130 neural, 94 osseous/cartilaginous, 19 muscular, and two fibrohistiocytic. Most patients were female (62.8%) and white-skinned (45.8%). Mean age was 42 years. The tongue (25.2%) was the most affected site for extraosseous neoplasms. CONCLUSION This study had the largest sample of benign oral and maxillofacial CSTNs. Although these tumors have similar clinical features, the characterization and differentiation detailed here may help clinicians with regards to the correct diagnosis.
