Surgical management of intramuscular hemangioma of left masseter muscle: A case report.

Hemangiomas are benign soft tissue tumors which are congenital and occur due to abnormal proliferations of blood vessels. Most common location of hemangiomas is subcutaneous adipose tissue, but skeletal muscle hemangiomas are very rare which make up to 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Usually, the intramuscular lesions are common in thigh region and calf muscles and are relatively rare in the facial muscles. Long-standing lesions results in phleboliths, and this may cause some symptoms. Conventional treatment of these isolated lesions may not yield satisfactory results. Hence, surgical excision of the lesion in toto results in aesthetically pleasing results with low chances of recurrence. In this article, we report a case of a left masseter intramuscular hemangioma in 19-year-old patient which was successfully managed by complete surgical excision.

2-Staged Surgical Protocol for Management of Large Odontogenic Keratocyst.

The World Health Organisation classification and the treatment protocol for the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), previously referred to as the keratocystic odontogenic tumour, were examined based on a study of the literature. Because not all OKCs have an identifiable protein patched homolog mutation, the idea of changing the management protocol for OKC in response to this shift in tumour category was met with scepticism and was not widely adopted. This study's objective was to outline a successful management plan for an odontogenic keratocyst in a patient who was 23 years old. The procedure for therapy involved marsupialisation, which was followed by enucleation, peripheral osteotomy, and the injection of 5 FFU. Following a 2-year observation period (clinical and radiological monitoring), it was found that bone regeneration was normal and there was no sign of a recurrence.
