Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms of soft tissue that can be found in any part of the human body. Conversely, their presence in the oral mucosa is rather uncommon, with approximately 4% of the cases occurring in the oral cavity. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of diagnosis and treatment of intraoral lipoma. Clinicians must be able to recognize rare lesions, like intraoral lipomas, to provide appropriate treatment, thereby ensuring comfort and quality of life for the patient.

Objective: the aim of the study was to assess the length, angulations and the pattern of ossification of the Styloid process (SP) and to know if any correlation exists between them.Method: 50 patients of CBCT, TMJ views were considered, a total of 87tmjs were viewed using ORTHOPHOS XG3D X-ray system. The length, mediolateral (MLA), anteroposterior angulation (APA) was measured. The morphology was identified on 3D images. Person's Correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis.Result: 0f the 87 scan. The Mean length of SP in males was 32.10mm and in females was 31.62mm. There was no statistical significance between sides and between the length and age. The mean MLA in males was 80.60 and in females it was 82.40. MLA on right was 81.40 and left was 81.30 the mean APA in males and females was 25.2 and 31.1 respectively, In this study we found no correlation between length, age and agulation of the styloid process. Conclusion:This study indicates that with an increase in length there is no significant increase in angulations. Age and gender showed no correlation with length. During evaluation of the Stylohyoid complex (SHC) length, angulations and morphology should be considered

The term orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a descriptive term used for granulomatous disorders affecting the face and oral cavity, which can occur for a variety of reasons resulting in significant morbidity. It is characterised by persistent swelling that may involve one or both the lips and /or recurrent ulcers and a variety of other orofacial features. Medical history is very important in the diagnosis of OFG as medical condition like Crohn's disease can also present an extra intestinal manifestation of OFG. Exclusion of other entities like sarcoidosis, mycobacterial infections, foreign body reactions and biopsy helps to establish a correct diagnosis. Herein we report a case of OFG in a 55 year old female patient with review of literature.
