Glandular odontogenic cyst: a case report and clinicopathologic analysis of the relationship to central mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC), an unusual multilocular cystic lesion of jaws exhibiting the features of both botryoid odontogenic cyst and mucoepidermoid tumor has been reported recently as a new entity with uncertain histogenesis. The World Health Organization named GOC as an independent pathologic entity and classified it as a developmental odontogenic epithelial cyst. We report an additional case, describe its clinicopathologic features, and discuss the similarity to the central mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Primary hyperparathyroidism: evaluation of different treatments of jaw lesions based on case reports

On the basis of three case reports, different treatment modalities of primary hyperparathyroidism of the jaws are presented. Surgical intervention made as the result of misdiagnosis in the first case caused an unnecessary bone defect and delayed bone regeneration for several months. Two other cases showed spontaneous regeneration of bone after parathyroidectomy. The second case disproved the earlier opinion that regeneration of the bone lesions could last for several years, and that the normal morphology could be restored. Complete resolution of the central giant-cell lesion was found 6 months after removal of the parathyroid adenoma.

Facial sinus caused by a foreign body in the submandibular salivary duct

Abstract A case of a 14-year-old boy is reported who presented with a facial sinus at the angle of the mandible. This eventually proved to be caused by a foreign body lying in the submandibular salivary duct.
