Gingival hyperplasia associated with nifedipine therapy. Report of a case

A case of gingival hyperplasia associated with the administration of nifedipine is reported. Clinically and histologically, the tissue resembled that seen in hyperplasia induced by phenytoin (Dilantin). We believe this to be the first reported case of gingival hyperplasia associated with this drug.

Lobular carcinoma of intraoral minor salivary gland origin: Report of twelve cases

In an attempt to define more accurately the tumors grouped under the heading of adenocarcinoma of salivary gland origin, we reviewed the cases in our registry that were classified as adenocarcinoma, carcinoma of salivary gland origin, and infiltrating epithelial salivary gland tumors. Eleven tumors that had certain unique microscopic features in common were identified. These eleven tumors and one that was reviewed in consultation make up the basis of this study. We classified these lesions as lobular carcinoma of salivary gland origin because of their remarkable microscopic resemblance to the breast tumors of the same name. These lesions appear to be of low-grade malignancy and have not recurred or metastasized in any of the eleven cases for which we have follow-up data, at times ranging from 5 to 80 months.

Recurrent botryoid odontogenic cyst (lateral periodontal cyst)

The terms botryoid odontogenic cyst and lateral periodontal cyst have both been used to describe a histologically distinct type of cyst characterized by a thin epithelial lining exhibiting focal thickenings or plaques. The cyst reported herein is a well-documented example of this type of cyst, which exhibited persistent and recurrent behavior.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma of the maxilla

Benign fibrous histiocytomas of bone are unusual neoplasms that often are confused with metaphyseal fibrous defects. Although the two lesions have overlapping microscopic characteristics, they differ in their clinicopathologic presentations. This report describes the clinicopathologic features of the first reported case of benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the maxilla and the fourth description of this tumor in the jawbones. In addition, the concept of fibrohistiocytic lesions of bone is discussed with consideration of their pathologic classification and their clinical, radiographic, and microscopic differential diagnosis.

Benign mesenchymoma of the oral soft tissues

Abstract Benign mesenchymoma is a mixed tumor of mesenchymal derivatives. These tumors are composed of an admixture of two or more benign mesenchymal components in addition to fibrous tissue. A case of benign mesenchymoma of the base of the tongue in a 2 1 2 - year-old girl is presented. The literature is reviewed and discussed.
