Ameloblastomatous calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour involving the mandibular anterior region: An unusual case report.

Ameloblastomatous calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a very rare histopathological variant of COC, which is an odontogenic cyst of the jaw. The term "calcifying odontogenic cyst" is not covered in the World Health Organisation (WHO) Classification of Tumors 2005 and was re-named as calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour (CCOT). There are only a few reports containing details on CCOT being associated with ameloblastoma. This variant has been classified as ameloblastomatous CCOT (type 3) as per the WHO 2005 classification. In this article, we reported an exceptional case of ameloblastomatous CCOT in a 15-year-old boy involving the mandibular anterior region, which is a rare combination for age and site of the lesion, along with an impacted tooth which is again an uncommon association.

Incidence of grinspan syndrome among tribal and suburban population of Maharashtra - A cross sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Grinspan syndrome is characterised by presence of the triad: hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) and oral lichen planus (OLP). OLP, seen in hypertension and diabetes mellitus, is caused by drugs used to treat these diseases according to literature, however the incidence of this syndrome in India has not yet been reported anywhere. Hence the present study was conducted with the following objectives: (i) To determine the incidence of Grinspan syndrome amongst tribal and suburban study population of Maharashtra in different gender and age groups (ii) To correlate occurrence of OLP with DM type 2 and hypertension (iii) To find out the number of patients with OLP, DM type 2 and hypertension either alone or in combination. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The present study was conducted on 4681 new patients attending the routine outpatient department (O.P.D.) of the dental hospital between January 2017 and December 2018. Patients with OLP or DM (type-2) or hypertension or any combination of these diseases were included in the present study. Brief case history of each patient was recorded. Data thus collected were analysed using SPSS version 20 for Chi-square test. RESULTS: Grinspan syndrome was found in 1.62% of the study population. Syndrome was seen in 1.02% of female and 0.59% of male. Maximum patient affected by syndrome were in 35-50 years of age group. CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of Grinspan syndrome was 1.62%, mainly seen in sub-urban females of 35-50 years and OLP seen in hypertension and diabetes mellitus has different etiology and is not caused by drugs used to treat these diseases.
