“…PG also reportedly has an average disease duration of 8 months, 15 the early stage being considered soft and rich in blood vessels, and, as it matures over time, presenting with a fibroma‐like elastic stiffness 12,17 . The PG that occurred on the tongues of epilepsy patients of the study by Yamaoka et al, meanwhile, was not replaced by fibrous tissue, even over the course of 5 years, but had rather been maintained long‐term at the stage of angiogenic granuloma 13 .…”

“…According to a report in which 2068 cases of reactive lesions were analyzed, IFH accounted for 8.6% (177 cases) of the reactive lesions, 10 and they tended to occur in the gingiva‐lip transition or gingiva‐cheek transition, due to irritation from an ill‐fitting denture base, and have been specifically called denture fibroma 12 . PG accounts for 18% of reactive lesions (365 cases), 10 and it frequently affects the gingiva, which account for about 75‐85% of cases 12 . In Japanese classification, however, it is diagnosed as an epulis if occurring on the gingiva, meaning that PG has been regarded as commonly affecting the tongue 13,14 .…”

“…In Japanese classification, however, it is diagnosed as an epulis if occurring on the gingiva, meaning that PG has been regarded as commonly affecting the tongue 13,14 . Causes of PG include systemic factors such as the endocrine system abnormalities, or local factors such as defective prostheses, sharp crown edges, bites, calculus deposition, or infections such as chronic marginal periodontitis 11,12,15 . In cases where PG occurs at sites other than the gingiva, 70% of these (43/61 cases) reportedly involve confirmed trauma 15 .…”

“…One reason for this is that due to their intellectual disability, the patient complained little of the subjective symptoms, thereby subject to long‐term suffering. PG may also be understood as a lobular capillary hemangioma with a concentration of thick blood vessels in the center and capillaries at the periphery, 11,12 and Case 2 also revealed a suspected hemangioma in the preoperative CT. When the surface layer is ulcerated, it begins to present with spontaneous bleeding or easy bleeding, which is thought to generally cause patients to notice the lesions.…”

Aim: Tongue bites frequently occur during seizures in epilepsy patients. We report two cases of cognitively impaired Lennox-Gastaut syndrome patients with reactive lesions on the tongues. Case presentations:Case 1 was a 30-year-old man whose chief complaint was mouth pain. Local finding was a small bean-sized pedunculated mass on the tongue, histopathologically diagnosed as inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Case 2 was a 45-year-old man whose chief complaint was bleeding from the mouth. His clinical finding was blood loss anemia. Local finding was a 20-mm-diameter pedunculated mass on the tongue, histopathologically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. Conclusion:These mass lesions were believed to be reactive, caused by repetitive minor damage involving reparative fibrous tissue response. Therefore, the two cases may have involved reparative responses to mucosal injury incurred by accidental bites during epileptic seizures. Intellectual disability made medical treatment difficult and had allowed the massive lesions to form. It is necessary for cognitively impaired epilepsy patients to undergo regular dental examinations in order to get used to dental checks and to increase the number of intraoral observations in the context of close cooperation between dentists and epilepsy therapists.

“…4 Clinically, this case was difficult to distinguish from neurofibromatosis as it also sometimes manifests with massive overhanging masses. 6 Neurofibromatosis may be present at birth but it often begins to appear during puberty and continue to develop slowly. However, a highly characteristic feature is the presence of cafe au lait pigmentation on skin.…”

Introduction: Neurovascular hamartomas (NVH) are relatively uncommon and have been very rarely reported in head and neck region. The rarity could be attributed to it being unrecognized and/or unreported. They constitute unique group of lesions with specific histopathological features.Case report: Authors report a case of 23-year-old male patient with NVH of face with an unusual clinical presentation. Conclusion:Neurovascular hamartoma is a histopathological diagnosis made for small to medium-sized vessels and closely packed groups of well-formed nerve bundles within a loose connective tissue matrix and the inflammatory component is minimal or absent.Clinical significance: Neurovascular hamartomas have specific features, and, therefore, they should not be considered as any reactive lesion or any hamartomatous lesions. Neurovascular hamartomas in fact represents a separate and unique entity.

Key Clinical MessagePeripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign reactive exophytic oral lesion that originates from the periosteum or the periodontal ligament. It exclusively develops on the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a possible etiology for its development. HPT is an endocrine disorder characterized by increased secretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH). This case report describes a case of recurring PGCG in a patient diagnosed with secondary HPT after paraclinical assessment.
