Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma was first described by Danath et al. in 1972 and is classified as a rare low-grade biphasic neoplasm of the salivary glands. This case report presents a male patient who had a lesion in the oral mucosa with a history of recurrence of the tumor. The outcome resulted in a profile consistent with an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with a high degree of transfo...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity. The mortality rate associated with head and neck cancers remains high, and thus detection techniques are important. In the present study, methyl green-pyronin staining was applied to 5 normal mucosa specimens, 10 cases of dysplastic mucosa, 12 cases of SCC (grade I), 10 cases of SCC (grade II) and 5 cases of SCC (g...

Verrucous carcinoma (also known as Ackerman tumor) is an uncommon exophytic low-grade well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma. This neoplasm typically involves the oral cavity, larynx, genitalia, skin, and esophagus. It is well known for its locally aggressiveness and for its clinically slow-growing behaviour with minimal metastatic potential. Verrucous carcinoma of oral cavity i...

BACKGROUND Oral nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is an uncommon benign neoplasm with Schwann-cell origin, which is frequently mistaken for neurothekeoma. We report a case of NSM on the buccal mucosa in a 42-year-old woman. This case is compared with previously reported cases and a systematic review is performed. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a case report and systematic review of oral cases consi...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, oral squamous cell carcinoma (potentially mediated by HER2) is recognized as the most commonly occurring malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity. Anti-HER2 nanobodies conjugated to gold-silica nanoshells and used as photothermal treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma may provide a novel therapeutic alternative to current treatment for this disease. METHODS KB epithelia...

calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures.  we report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. the purpose o...
