Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumour that rarely involves the ethmoid sinuses and orbit. It is classified as a benign fibroosseous lesion, a term that is synonymous with a variety of lesions reported in the literature. Recurrence rate with deleterious effects in cases of extramandibular ossifying fibroma is the impetus for open en bloc resection of the tumour. Continuously evolvin...

one lung collapsed and the other clinically and radiologically healthy, and no signs of disease elsewhere. He ran an intermittent temperature from 30th November to 12th December of 101 ?F. to 104?F. each evening, the morning record being normal. The fever was neither preceded by rigor nor followed by sweating. From the beginning the patient insisted that the fever was connected with the appeara...

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare and locally aggressive intraosseous tumor with unknown etiology. The mandible is the common site of involvement in the maxillofacial region. However, it is believed that DF can arise in any bone of the body. A wide age distribution has been reported for DF occurrence, extending from birth to the sixth decade of life, with a peak incidence at 10 to 19 years of...

Background. Calretinin is a 29 kDa calcium-binding protein of the EF-hand family which is expressed in a variety of normal and tumorigenic tissues. Its expression in odontogenic epithelium during odontogenesis and in neoplastic odontogenic tissues has been demonstrated. Unicystic ameloblastoma poses a diagnostic challenge, as its histologic presentation can be sometimes mistaken for keratocysti...

Squamous-cell carcinomas, hemangiomas, fibro mas, and papillomas have occurred in the skin of ducks following the local application of a 0.25 per cent acetone solution of methylcholanthrene daily for a period of 1 month (5, 6). The spontaneous disappearance of a high per cent of these neo plasms in the duck has proved to be a feature of considerable interest (7). Attempts have been made infrequ...

Although they usually smaller size, odontoma interfere eruption of permanent teeth.Case report: Here presenting a case multiple compound odontomas 9-year-old boy maxillary anterior region jaw. Management includes surgical removal odontoma. ...

PURPOSE Extraocular muscle (EOM) has a distinct skeletal muscle phenotype. The hypothesis for the study was that fibroblasts support the unique EOM phenotype and that perimysial fibroblasts derived from EOM have properties that distinguish them from fibroblasts derived from other skeletal muscle. METHODS Perimysial fibroblasts from leg muscle (LM-Fibro) and EOM (EOM-Fibro) of mice were derive...
