spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. in the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. this article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology.  ...

Psoriasis Cyclosporine Side effect Carcinoma Toshiyuki Yamamoto, MD, Department of Dermatology, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, School of Medicine, 5–45, Yushima 1-chome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo (Japan) Cyclosporine (CsA) can be effective in the treatment of several diseases, however, an increased risk of developing malignant neoplasms including lymphomas and solid tumors has also been reported. ...

Lipoma is a rare benign tumor of adipose tissue in the oral cavity. It accounts for 1 to 4% of benign neoplasms affecting predominantly the buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue. We report a case of intraoral lipoma in buccal mucosa. The clinical presentation is a painless yellowish mass. The usual lesions consist of a well circumscribed, lobulated mass of mature fat cells. In other situatio...

Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms of mature adipose tissue. Most of lipomas develop in the subcutaneous tissues but deeper tissues may be involved as well; the oral cavity is not commonly affected. The overall incidence in the oral cavity is thought to be between 1% and 4.4% of all benign oral lesions. Oral lipomas can occur in various anatomic sites including the major salivary g...

Lipomas are very common benign slow-growing soft tissue neoplasms composed of mature adipose tissue mostly diagnosed in the fifth decade of life. These tumors rarely present in the oral cavity, representing less than approximately 5% of all benign mouth tumors. They are usually less than 2cm in size and etiology remains unclear. We report a young male patient presenting with a giant lipoma in t...

Chondrolipoma is a rare benign oral tumour. We present a case in a 68-year-old diabetic woman.

Maxillary defects are created by surgical treatment of benign or malignant neoplasms, congenital malformation and by trauma. The size and location of the defects in ̄uence the degree of impairment and dif®culty in prosthetic rehabilitation. Lack of support, retention, and stability are common prosthodontic treatment problems for patients who have had a maxillectomy. A prosthesis used to close a ...

The case-reproduction ratio for the spread of an infectious disease is a critically important concept for understanding dynamics of epidemics and for evaluating impact of control measures on spread of infection. Reliable estimation of this ratio is a problem central to epidemiology and is most often accomplished by fitting dynamic models to data and estimating combinations of parameters that eq...
