Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma is a rare, infrequent, aggressive in nature, locally reoccurring odontogenic tumor with a tendency of distant metastasis, occurring during to 4 th to 6 th decades with a mostly female predilection. Histologically, it is characterized by sheets and islands of vacuolated/clear cells. Till date, only 74 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of 45-year-old woman with a tumor mass extending from the maxillary right first premolar till the third molar region measuring 4 cm × 4 cm. The diagnosis was given based on the histopathological findings. Being locally aggressive, the reported data and understanding of this infrequent tumor needs to be strengthened by reporting new cases, and it also demands to be distinguished from other primary and metastatic clear cell tumors of the head-and-neck region.
Introduction: Ileal intussusceptions is the invagination of the small intestine within itself and accounts for 1% of cases of acute obstruction. However, physicians do not initially consider intussusception as a possible diagnosis of obstruction due to its rarity in adults. Case Report: 55-year-old female who was admitted to the Emergency Department with continuous abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed ileal intussusceptions. The patient underwent surgical removal of the segment of the small bowel and end to end anastomosis done. Case Discussion: Ileal intussusceptions with presence of Chronic abdominal pain make the surgeon difficult to choose conservative or surgical approach. Conclusion: Adult intussusceptions is a rare disease and it differs from childhood intussusception in its presentation, cause and treatment
Background: Stafne bone cyst (SBC) is a bone depression found on the lingual side of the mandible. It is usually asymptomatic and is usually diagnosed on the routine radiographs as an incidental nding. So it has an unknown prevalence. The lesion resembles many odontogenic pathologies and the entity remains a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this case report is to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of a case of stafne bone cyst and the importance of cone beam computed tomography in conrming the diagnosis. Method: Analysis of orthopantomogram (OPG) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was done on the basis of diagnostic criteria described by Stafne. Result : According to the clinical and radiographic ndings and based on the dental literature, it was concluded that the observed bony cavity was a Stafne bone defect, located in the angle of mandible below inferior alveolar canal. Conclusion: Differential diagnosis of SBC's from other possible pathologies that may require treatment and imaging technique selection according to case is signicant. The use of CBCT is highlighted because of the ne detail of imaging , low radiation dose and limited area exposure which is benecial for the diagnosis of SBC.
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.
