Osteochondroma of the temporomandibular joint: a case report

Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle has been found in the oral and maxillofacial region rarely. This paper describes a case of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle in a 20-year-old woman, who was referred to our service with facial asymmetry, prognathic deviation of chin, cross-bite to the contralateral side, changes in condylar morphology, limited mouth opening, and malocclusion. Computed tomography (CT) was performed for better evaluation to the pathological conditions on the temporomandibular joint. Based on the clinical examination, patient history, and complementary exams, the hypothesis of osteochondroma was established. Condylectomy was performed using a preauricular approach with total removal of the lesion. After 3 years of postoperative follow up and orthodontic therapy, the patient is symptom-free, and has normal mouth opening with no deviation in the opening pattern.

Rare Occurrence of Myositis Ossificans Traumatica in a Patient With Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome

n favor of a metastatic thyroid, a second-stage reoval of the thyroid primary followed by postoperaive radioiodine therapy is advocated. In those cases ith a definitive preoperative diagnosis, a better progosis has been reported with simultaneous resection f the solitary bony metastases along with total thyoidectomy followed by radioiodine therapy. This ay be because of the enhanced uptake and inreased effectiveness of postoperative radioiodine in ealing with other systemic micrometastases that are therwise undetectable. It is believed that skeletal etastases of thyroid carcinomas have a relatively oorer survival rate than lung metastases. In contrast to the majority of the published literature, his report is unique because the thyroid primary was ompletely asymptomatic with no prior history of thyoid disease and the metastatic mandibular lesion was asquerading as an arteriovenous malformation.

Recidiva de cisto dermoide congênito de localização paramediana

INTRODUCTION: The dermoid cyst is a cyst of unusual development in the face and more often involves the mouth floor. Most injuries occur in young adults with a slight predilection for males. Lesions in neonatal and children are extremely rare. It manifests as swelling floating asymptomatic and slow-growing and progressive, reaching dimensions. His capsule may contain one or more skin appendages such as sebaceous glands, hair or nails. The treatment is surgical, by enucleation, and its recurrence uncommon. The clinical appearance, histopathology, differential diagnosis and treatment of a case of congenital dermoid cyst, and its recurrence, are discussed by the authors.
