Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign neoplasm originated from the neural sheath and occurring most frequently in maxillofacial region. Intraosseous schwannomas are rare. The mandible is the most common site of occurrence for these lesions. We report a rare case of Intraosseous neurilemmoma of the mandible, with an emphasis on clinical, radiographic and pathological findings. The tumor, located mainly in the ramus region, presented as a soft tissue mass in the oral cavity, Multilocular, well-defined, and radiolucent lesion on plain radiography. Dilatation of the mandibular canal was identified. Plain radiography partly helped to identify the solid nature of the tumor. A biopsy was necessary to make the final diagnosis because of the relatively nonspecific nature of the lesion. The lesion was surgically removed and no evidence of recurrence was observed after 6 months.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare and benign odontogenic neoplasm that affects the jaws. It is certainly an atypical instance to find this tumor in children. Here, we present two case reports of CEOT presenting in mandible of a 12- and 13-year-old female child, respectively. CEOT have been reported to show features of malignant transformation also.
Talon cusp is an uncommon anomaly in the primary dentition. The present report describes a case of bilateral talon cusps on the maxillary primary central incisors in a 1-year, 4-month-old Indian boy. Both central incisors exhibited a sharp prominent accessory cusp on the palatal surface which extended from the cementoenamel junction to the incisal edge. There were no associated developmental syndromes.
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.
