Abstract
OBJECTIVE Image-guided biopsy is well-established in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal lesions. While several studies have demonstrated a high diagnostic yield in image-guided biopsy, there are no current guidelines around procedural factors such as number of cores. Furthermore, there have been mixed results regarding which lesions are more favourable to a diagnostic biopsy. We wanted to evaluate diagnostic yield and concordance for image-guided biopsies for musculoskeletal lesions. The null hypothesis was that there are no controllable factors that contribute to positive yield. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent image-guided biopsy at a large teaching hospital for musculoskeletal lesions discussed at the sarcoma multi-disciplinary meeting. The formal biopsy histology report was evaluated, and biopsies were considered diagnostic or non-diagnostic. In those that had subsequent surgery (by wide excision or open biopsy), final and initial histology was compared and biopsies were considered concordant or not. Overall diagnostic yield and concordance were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with Stata 13.0 (StataCorp). RESULTS Over the 14-year period, 429 biopsies were included. Diagnostic yield was 85% and concordance was 100%. No cases of malignant lesions were initially called benign on biopsy. One biopsy had a complication (0.2%). Factors associated with higher diagnostic yield included soft tissue versus bone lesions, three or more cores and longer total specimen length. Factors that were not associated included core size, use of FNA cytology, gender, age, benign versus malignant, anatomic location and lesion appearance. CONCLUSION The null hypothesis is rejected. The main predictor of diagnostic biopsy was total specimen length, independent of number of cores taken. Three or more cores and longer cores are optimal, though these factors are influenced by lesion biology and not always able to be controlled.

Abstract
Objective Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers facilitates researchers in formulating strategic research possibilities and addressing gaps in specific domains. In this context, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify published papers on "oral mucosal lesions in COVID-19" within medical literature. Methods A comprehensive search was performed in the Scopus database in July 2023. Relevant articles were retrieved, reviewed, and data for the bibliometric analysis was recorded. Network visualization of authors, countries, and keywords was generated using VOSviewer software. Results The analyzed articles were published over the last three years, from 2020 to 2023, with the highest output observed in 2021. The citation count for individual papers ranged from 1 to 340, with a mean of 22.325 ± 58.93 citations. A total of 37 journals were involved in publishing papers on this topic, and five authors each contributed three papers. Notably, Brazil made the highest number of contributions with eight papers. Among the 40 papers, 19 were review papers and 16 were articles discussing various aspects of oral mucosal lesions in COVID-19 patients. Additionally, six papers were identified as systematic reviews, designated with a high level of evidence. Conclusions This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of papers published on "oral mucosal lesions in COVID-19." The findings will assist researchers in identifying impactful papers, understanding the prevailing research trends, and guiding future research directions in this domain. The insights gained from this analysis can contribute significantly to advancing knowledge and improving patient care in this critical area of study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Role of neutrophils in shaping the tumor microenvironment is well known in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, neutrophil microabscess (NM) formation within the tumor islands is distinctive phenomenon and has never been investigated in the literature. This pilot observational study identifies the incidence of NM in OSCC and its clinicopathologic correlation as a platform for the future studies. METHODOLOGY A retrospective study was carried out on archival specimens of 121 cases of surgically excised OSCC specimens for identification of NM formations within the tumor islands using compound microscope. Mean NM density was calculated based on the quantification done at five randomly selected hotspots. RESULTS Out of total 121 cases of OSCC, thirteen (10.74%) cases showed a frank evidence of NM within tumor islands. The hotspot analysis showed that the NM density ranges from 2 to 7 with mean of 3.76 ± 1.39 per high power field. NM density was higher in moderately differentiated OSCC (3.76 ± 1.93) than well differentiated (3.76 ± 1.93) however the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.165). Similarly, higher NM density was reported in advanced T stage, lymph node involvement, advanced TNM stage and lymphovascular invasion, however, the results were statistically insignificant. CONCLUSION There is evidence of NM formation in the tumor islands of OSCC, however their exact role as a prognosticator needs further exploration with large sample size and follow-up data.

Abstract
Background Metastasizing Ameloblastoma (MA) is an aggressive variant of ameloblastoma (AM) with the ability to metastasize without cytological malignant changes. Thus it aims to comprehensively review the clinico-pathological and prognostic aspects of MA through integration of current literature. Methods Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Two independent reviewers screened abstracts and evaluated paper eligibility. AMSTAR2 checklist was used to assessed methodological quality of included systematic reviews (SRs). Results From 390 initial papers, 279 underwent eligibility screening, with five systematic reviews (SRs) meeting inclusion criteria. Six hundred sixty-one MA cases were found in five SRs that were included. MA predominantly affects men, exhibits mandible preference, and occurs in individuals in their fourth or fifth decade. Benign metastatic deposits commonly manifest in lungs and lymph nodes. Distant metastasis probability rises with multiple recurrences and incomplete surgical removal. Tumor recurrence and metastasis unfavorably impact clinical outcomes. Quality of evidence assessment was absent across SRs; four SRs were critically low in methodological quality. Conclusions AM's metastatic potential lacks predictability. Early/multiple recurrences post-treatment may signal poor prognosis, warranting vigilant follow-up. Methodical analysis of each AM case is imperative to comprehend the metastatic-benign histology relationship.

Abstract
Introduction Advanced gastric cancer (GC) has a very poor prognosis, and chemotherapy has been the standard of care. The use of immunotherapy or targeted therapy in the stage 4 setting is dependent on molecular testing of the tumour. There is a paucity of data in the Indian scenario on testing for molecular markers in stage 4 GC. Therefore, in this study, we looked at the prevalence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) expression/amplification, deficient mismatch repair (d-MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) high status, and programmed death ligand 1 (PDL-1) status in stage 4 gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Methods A retrospective single-centre observational study was conducted between January 2017 and January 2022 of patients diagnosed with stage 4 GC/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Patient data were collected from stored electronic patient records. Data on stage 4 patients who underwent testing for HER2/neu, mismatch repair (MMR)/MSI, and PDL-1 status were recorded. Treatment received was also noted. Results During the study period, 139 patients were diagnosed with stage 4 GC/GEJ adenocarcinoma. HER2/neu testing was done in 99 stage 4 patients (71.2%), with a positivity rate of 16.16% (n = 16). All patients diagnosed as HER2/neu-positive were treated with trastuzumab. Testing of MMR status was carried out in 91 stage 4 patients (65.4%). d-MMR/MSI high was detected in eight patients (8.8%), of which germline MMR was detected as positive in one patient. Five of these eight patients (62.5%) received immune checkpoint inhibitors. PDL-1 testing was done in 61 of the 139 stage 4 patients (43.9%). Twenty patients (32.7%) had PDL-1 tumour proportion score > 1%/combined positive score > 1. Conclusion Molecular profiling has now become the standard while treating late-stage GC. HER2/neu-positive patients have improved survival due to the use of anti-HER2/neu-targeted therapies. It is important to look at not only PDL-1 but also MMR to identify patients who would be eligible and benefit from immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Angiogenesis plays a vital role at the molecular level in various inflammatory lesions, that lead to their chronicity. Oral lichen planus is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disorder. The angiogenetic role and exact mechanisms in oral lichen planus are still unclear due to a dearth of studies. Its clinical significance with angiogenesis also requires further elucidation necessitating a thorough review of the studies that have been conducted so far. The present review was designed to identify the dependence of oral lichen planus progression on angiogenesis which could aid in devising metronomic treatments required to halt the progression of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS A thorough search was made using MEDLINE by PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar, Cochrane library, and EMBASE databases. Original research articles, that immunohistochemically evaluated angiogenesis in oral lichen planus were included for review. Risk of bias was analysed for each study using Modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Review Manager 5.4 was used to output its result. RESULTS Twenty-nine published articles were included for data synthesis. The most commonly employed antibody was CD34, however, upregulated VEGF expression was the principal while ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and PECAM-1 were critical angiogenic factors to mediate angiogenesis in oral lichen planus. CONCLUSION The current evidence supports that angiogenesis, a fundamental pathogenetic mechanism of oral lichen planus, leads to its persistence and chronicity. However, studies with a larger sample size, standard evaluation criteria, different subtypes, and adequate follow-up are warranted.

Abstract
Background One of the most common clinical manifestations of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is restricted tongue movements. However, the characterization of involvement is needed to better understand the impairment of its functioning. In the present study, force, alternate movements, snap, suction, and vibration functions of the tongue were investigated in OSMF patients. Methods A total of 53 OSMF and 40 healthy individuals were recruited in the present study. Clinical parameters were used for the diagnosis and grading of OSMF. Alternate movements, snap, suction, vibration of the tongue and tongue force were assessed using standard methodology. Results Out of 53 OSMF subjects, 22 (42%) were in early stages and 31 (58%) in late stages. There were statistically significant differences between the OSMF and healthy individuals for tongue functions such as protrusion, retraction, lateral movements, altered snap, suction, and tongue vibration (p < 0.00001). All of the aforementioned tongue functions were more affected in advanced stage OSMF than in early stage OSMF (p < 0.00001). Conclusion Force, alternate movements, snap, suction and vibration functions of tongue are significantly altered in OSMF patients. The performance of the tongue movements by the OSMF subjects worsened with the disease progression.

Abstract
This manuscript proposes an improved indirect instantaneous torque control (IITC) based torque sharing function (TSF) method of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives in electric vehicles (EVs) using a hybrid system. The proposed hybrid techniques are joint performance of both Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA) and Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), hence it is named as Enhanced RSA (ERSA) method. Here, an IITC method of SRMs for EVs is utilized. It achieves the requirements of the vehicle, like minimum torque ripple, improved speed range, high effectiveness, and maximal torque per ampere (MTPA). To precisely specify the switched reluctance motor and its magnetic features are measured by the proposed method. The modified Torque sharing function compensates the torque error along with incoming phase, which contains the minimal rate of change of flux linkage. Finally, the ERSA method is implemented to define the best control parameters. Then, the proposed ERSA system is performed on the MATLAB platform and the performance is compared to different existing systems. The MSE for case 1 and case 2 using proposed system attains 0.01093 and 0.01095. The voltage deviation for case 1 and case 2 using proposed system reaches 5 and 5. The power factor for case 1 and case 2 reaches a value of 50 and 40 using the proposed system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite recommendations for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination during pregnancy, some pregnant women are concerned about COVID-19 vaccines and decline to be vaccinated. This study focuses on attitudes in a sample of mostly minority pregnant Hispanic and Black women that may influence vaccine hesitancy. METHODS This was a cross-sectional survey of 400 pregnant women. Participants were provided with a one-page information sheet on pregnancy health, COVID-19 health, and COVID-19 vaccines. They were then asked to complete a survey on attitudes about these topics. RESULTS We found that attitudes for knowing about the health topics were in the range from agree to strongly agree, whereas attitudes for knowing about topics pertaining to COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines were in a lower-level range from neutral to agree. Negative vaccine attitudes were significantly associated with decreased agreement for knowing about health attitudes, but not significantly associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccine attitudes. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 vaccine mRNA technology was a lesser understood topic than attitudes for knowing about other health topics. This finding suggests the need for physician intervention and that further education about COVID-19 vaccine mRNA technology may influence patient attitudes toward acceptance of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the recent times have instilled signs of immunosuppression globally which has further precipitated increasing range of opportunistic infections. Mucormycosis is a distressing opportunistic fungal infection with a high incidence and is the third commonest acute invasive infection following candidiasis and aspergillosis. The aim of the present observational study is to delineate the enigmatic histopathological profile between mucormycosis cases seen prior to pandemic (PPM) and pandemic associated mucormycosis (PAM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Tissue archives of 105 histopathologically diagnosed cases of mucormycosis were included and analysed for demographical details and histopathological parameters like fungal load and localization, granuloma formation, necrosis, inflammatory infiltrate and tissue invasion. RESULTS 0ut of 105 included cases, 11/105 (10.48%) were reported PPM and 94/105 (89.52%) PAM. Among 94 cases of PAM, 51/94 (54%) cases also showed COVID-19 positivity, while 43/94 (46%) did not. Of all the histological variables, increased fungal load and necrosis were observed in PAM relative to PPM cases. CONCLUSIONS The histopathological variables like fungal load, necrosis, granuloma formation and tissue invasion, could help the clinician in assessing the clinical status at the time of tissue diagnosis and improve the treatment accordingly.

Abstract
On the lap of this present-day epoch, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has been of considerable assistance in case of health monitoring and recovery. The utilization of machine learning approach integration with intelligent agent in the area of health informatics collected via Human Activity Recognition enhances the decision making quality and significance. Its specific homogenization into the Smart Healthcare Monitoring permits gathering, examining and learning from Internet of Things (IoT) wearable devices, undoubtedly achieving knowledge and making analysis on the patient’s state. Despite several research works conducted on Smart Healthcare Monitoring, there remains certain amount of pitfalls, like, time, overhead involved in analysis and also the falsification of analysis. To focus on these issues, a Statistical Partial Regression and Support Vector Intelligent Agent Learning (SPR-SVIAL) for Smart Healthcare Monitoring is proposed. The SPR-SVIAL method is split into two stages. First, data pre-processing along with the dimensionality reduced features are extracted by employing Statistical Partial Regression Feature Extraction model. Here, with the ceaseless thump to-pulsate heart information, triaxial accelerometer information, rest quality, actual work and mental attributes obtained from the input dataset acquired from IoT wearable devices, Partial Least Square is applied to extract the dimensionality reduced features, therefore contributing to Smart Healthcare Monitoring time and accuracy. Next, with these resultant features, Support Vector Intelligent Agent Learning is proposed for Smart Healthcare Monitoring that with the aid of Machine Learning and Intelligent Agent not only reduces the falsification of analysis but also reduces the overhead incurred. The SPR-SVIAL method is tested on simulators and the obtained results indicated better performance upon comparison with the other methods. The results show that we can reduce the time, overhead, false positive rate for healthcare monitoring and achieve a high accuracy rate by performing feature extraction for each of the data recording.

Abstract
Despite the need for and relevance of leadership skills to the success of medical trainees and healthcare professionals, few medical schools offer formal leadership training during the preclinical years. Where such curricula exist, we have found few schools that intentionally incorporate key principles of lifestyle medicine critical to short- and long-term career development. We describe a novel relationship-centered leadership curriculum, grounded in a conceptual framework of emotional intelligence and incorporating key principles of lifestyle medicine, first piloted in 2019 and now in its fourth year of existence. In comparing pre- and post-course self-evaluations on a 5-point Likert scale, students (n = 19) reported increased competencies in Self (3.12 vs 4.20, P < .001), Teams (3.06 vs 4.00, P < .001), and System (2.55 vs 3.55, P < .001) domains. Qualitative responses demonstrated that a vital strength of the course was its direct relevance and immediate applicability to students' personal and professional roles and goals. Results provide encouraging support for using a relationship-centered leadership framework that incorporates core elements of lifestyle medicine and emotional intelligence to facilitate medical students' leadership development, as related to leading oneself and in dynamic relationships with others (e.g., with leaders, colleagues, patients, and within communities, teams, and systems).

Abstract
Background Mucoceles are mucus-filled cavities and are broadly of two types: mucus retention cysts and mucus extravasation phenomenon. A wide variety of histological features have been documented in the literature. The present study was an attempt to study these histological features: papillary synovial metaplasia-like changes (PSM-like changes) in particular. Materials and Methods One hundred and five tissue samples of mucoceles were retrieved and evaluated for age, gender, type, site, color, etiology, symptoms, dimension of the lesion and presence or absence of PSM-like changes. The results were documented on Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed by using SPSS. Results All 105 cases were of mucus extravasation phenomenon with a definitive male preponderance. The mean age of occurrence was 25.82 ± 11.65 years and a predilection for the lower lip. PSM-like changes were seen in 31 cases (Group II), and the remaining 74 cases did not show a definite presence of these features (Group I). The cases in Group II were statistically larger in dimension than Group I cases. No difference was noted in age, gender and laterality. Conclusion PSM-like changes appear to be an underrecognized histological alteration seen in oral mucoceles and must be recognized to differentiate from other salivary gland entities showing papillary architecture.

Abstract
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic T-cell-mediated mucocutaneous inflammatory disease, largely recognized in adults. It is uncommon in children, and the literature present still lacks comprehensive understanding mainly due to underreporting of such cases. LP shows atypical clinical features, when seen in children, mainly affecting the flexor aspect of the wrists, legs, and the oral and genital mucosae. It is largely considered an autoimmune response of the body with various etiologic factors. Its association with vaccination is still an interesting field for research. The focus of the present systematic review was to discover the link of vaccine in the pathogenesis of juvenile LP. An electronic search was carried out using MEDLINE by PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. Articles that reported LP in children with prior records for vaccination were selected for the present systematic review. Twenty-three published articles in the English language were included for the quantitative and qualitative syntheses. The demographic data, specific vaccine history, and clinical details of the lesions were recorded. The existing evidence supports that vaccines could play an important role in etiopathogenesis of pediatric LP.

Abstract
Introduction and Aim:Corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 has affected over 200 countries and territories. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the role of eosinopenia in differentiating COVID-19 suspect from other flu-like illnesses in an outpatient setting.
Materials and Methods:It was a retrospective case control study in which data of 1252 suspected COVID 19 patients who visited the fever clinic were enrolled. Among this, 701 patients were found to have COVID-19 pneumonia and 551 had other flu-like illnesses. CBC (complete blood count) and CRP(C- reactive protein) were taken in all patients along with chest x-ray as routine protocol.
Results:Among the 701 positive patients, eosinopenia was seen in 527 patients and had a sensitivity of 75.2 % and specificity of 68.6 %. When combined with other lab parameters such as the increased CRP and lymphopenia, the specificity rises up to 78.6 %.
Conclusion:Our study shows that eosinopenia as an independent variable, is a reliable marker to differentiate COVID-19 suspect patients from other flu-like illnesses on outpatient basis, however when combined with other parameters like lymphopenia and CRP the specificity increases further.

Abstract
Background & objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) adversely affects various functional and structural domains of the lungs, in addition to having an array of extra-pulmonary effects which affect overall well-being of a patient. This study was aimed at measuring the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in COPD patients and relating the severity of disease and other factors with the degree of impairment of HRQOL. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 individuals with established COPD aged 45 yr or above. COPD severity was graded based on the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) staging system. Pulmonary function test was carried out as per the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society task force standardised lung function testing guidelines. The quality of life was measured using the COPD-specific version of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The three component scores (activity, impact and symptoms) and the total score were compared across the various categories of age, gender and COPD grades. Using multivariable linear regression analysis, the relationship between COPD grades and various component scores, adjusting for age and gender, was determined. Results: The mean total SGRQ Classification score was found to be 48.5±17.1. There was a significant increase in the symptom, activity and impact component scores and the total scores of the participants with worsening of COPD grade. The activity, impact component scores and total score showed an increasing trend with age. However, the values of these three scores were lower in participants in the age group of 56-65 yr in comparison to those in the 45-55 yr age group. There was a significant increase in the symptom component score with increasing age across the study population. The difference in the various scores between males and females was not significant. Interpretation & conclusions: HRQOL is impaired in patients with COPD, and it deteriorates with increasing severity of the disease. The onset of COPD at a younger age has a much more significant deterioration of HRQOL, due to the early onset of symptoms and complications. These findings call for better early care and integration of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes into current health policies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary gland tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with complex clinicopathologic behavior. These tumors often show an extremely diverse morphology and significant histologic patterns, making diagnosis a difficult task. Owing to the considerable differences in prognosis, treatment, and follow-up, accurately distinguishing these histologic mimickers is imperative. The aim of the present systematic review was to establish the diagnostic utility of p63/p40 immunostaining in histologic differentiation of salivary gland tumors. STUDY DESIGN An electronic search was carried out using MEDLINE by PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Trip, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases. Articles in which both p63 and p40 immunohistochemical expressions were assessed were included for systematic review and their sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Risk of bias was analyzed for each study using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. RESULTS Ten eligible articles were included in the quantitative synthesis, which revealed a concordant positivity of p63 and p40 by nearly all cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, pleomorphic adenoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma and most polymorphous adenocarcinomas showed discordant immunohistochemical expression (p63+/p40-). CONCLUSIONS The current evidence supports that integrated immunostaining of p63/p40 is a valuable adjunct for discerning enigmatic salivary gland tumors with true myoepithelial and/or squamous differentiation.

Abstract
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID 2019), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a dreadful infectious disease which has emerged as one of the most significant medical emergency affecting everyone directly or indirectly. COVID 2019 is a multisystem disease and causes severe immunosuppression. Initially thought to affect mainly the respiratory system, it strikes all vital organ systems and cause defects in cardio-circulatory, respiratory system and gastrointestinal systems to name a few leading to copious biochemical alterations. Reports show there is thromoembolism, raised ferritin levels, lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, lactic acidosis, acute diabetes like state and cytokine storm. Data regarding levels of neutrophils is equivocal. Further there is increased incidence regarding high incidents of mucormycosis in COVID 2019 positive subjects. In the present paper, we identified and correlated the virus mediated biochemical alterations as the potential ideal environment for propagation of mucorales; and thus concentrate on early diagnosis and treatment of mucormycosis in COVID 2019 cases.

Abstract
Compressed sensing (CS) has been adapted to synthetic aperture (SA) ultrasound imaging to improve the frame-rate of the system. Recently, we proposed a novel CS framework using Gaussian under-sampling to reduce the number of receive elements in multi-element synthetic transmit aperture (MSTA) imaging. However, that framework requires different receive elements to be chosen randomly for each transmission, which may add to practical implementation challenges. Modifying the scheme to employ the same set of receive elements for all transmissions of MSTA leads to degradation of the recovered image quality. Therefore, this work proposes a novel sampling scheme based on a genetic algorithm (GA), which optimally chooses the receive element positions once and uses it for all the transmission of MSTA. The CS performance using GA sampling schemes is evaluated against the previously proposed CS framework on in-vitro and in-vivo datasets. The obtained results suggest that not only does the GA-based approach allows the use of the same set of sparse receive elements for each transmit, but also leads to the lowest CS recovery error (NRMSE) and 14% overall improvement in image contrast, in comparison to the previously-proposed Gaussian sampling scheme. Thus, using the CS framework along with GA, can potentially reduce the complexity in implementation of CS-framework to MSTA based systems.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma, a benign but locally aggressive odontogenic tumor, often demonstrates metastasis despite benign histological features and this variant is termed as metastasizing ameloblastoma (METAM). It was classified under the malignant category in the 2005 WHO but has been re-classified under benign epithelial odontogenic tumors in the latest 2017 WHO classification. The present review aimed at gathering the available data on METAM to update the current cognizance about the pathology. Comprehensive search of the databases (viz., PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE and Google Scholar) was done for published articles on METAM following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 42 cases were extracted. The mean age of occurrence was 42.71 ± 15.87 years. A slight male predilection was noted. Mandibular cases showed more metastasis than maxillary cases. Follicular ameloblastoma was most frequently encountered at secondary site followed by plexiform type. Lungs were the most commonly affected secondary sites. METAM is a rare odontogenic tumor and the diagnosis is usually made in retrospect. Inadequate treatment may result in multiple recurrences and metastasis in rare instances. Metastasis in ameloblastoma appears to be multi-factorial in nature and needs further investigation in untapped territory like exploration of quantum effects at cellular and molecular levels.
