SUMMARYWe present a case of isolated cardiac metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. An 89-year-old woman was due to undergo curative resection of a histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of the retromolar region. On admission, it was noted that there were ECG changes, and following further investigations, the patient was diagnosed with a cardiac metastasis of her oral malignancy. The presentation, including the diagnostic difficulties, as well as the clinical features of this rare case, are discussed.
BACKGROUND
Herpes zoster is an uncommon acute viral infection caused by reactivation of varicella‐zoster virus. Presented is a case of herpes zoster involving the trigeminal nerve masquerading as odontalgia. The difficulties in diagnosis and management are discussed.
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is an uncommon craniofacial fibro‐osseous lesion distinguished by its locally aggressive behaviour and high recurrence rate. We report a unique case of a JOF of the anterior mandible in a patient with Apert syndrome. The clinical, radiological and histopathological features, along with management strategies of this distinct clinical entity are discussed.
