A calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare odontogenic lesion with a vast variety of clinical, radiological, histopathological features and biological behaviours. In this article, we illustrate a case of an 18‐year‐old male patient with a complaint of an 18‐month history of swelling in his right maxilla. The lesion was diagnosed as a COC associated with an impacted 18 using radiological, cytological and histopathological investigations. The present study examines and considers the case.
Lymphangiomatosis is a rare type of diffuse tumour, which develops from an aberrant growth of the lymphatic vessels, and can produce progressive osteolysis of bone in multiple organ systems. In this article, we illustrate a rare case of a 14-year-old female patient with lymphangiomatosis affecting the maxillofacial bones. The patient showed a marked deviation from normal maxillofacial growth patterns resulting in significant malocclusion and oral complications. The present study examines and considers the multidisciplinary management of the case with a brief review of the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
