Teratoma of the hard palate

Angiomyoma of the Hard Palate

Leiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm deriving from smooth muscle. Vascular leiomyoma is its most common subtype in the oral cavity. It may appear at any age with the greatest incidence in the 4th and 5th decade of life. The common manifestation is a slow-growing, asymptomatic, submucousal mass. The diagnosis is only through microscopic examination requiring special staining...

She was unaware of this condition, and therefore the duration of the condition could not be ascertained.

A Rare Case of Congenital Teratoma Arising from Hard Palate in a New Born

Extraskeletal Ewing's Sarcoma of the Hard Palate

Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is a rare soft tissue tumor morphologically indistinguishable from the more common Ewing's sarcoma of bone. We report a case of EES arising in the hard palate of 34-yr-old male patient. Microscopically, the monotonous small round cells without neuronal differentiation showed membranous positive immunoreactivity for MIC2/CD99 and vimentin. Ultrastructurally, t...
