Collision Tumour Comprising Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma and Squamous Odontogenic Tumour in the Anterior Maxilla: A Case Report.

Collision tumours, characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of two distinct neoplasms within the same anatomical site, are exceedingly rare in oral pathology. This case report presents an uncommon collision tumour involving desmoplastic ameloblastoma and squamous odontogenic tumour in the anterior maxilla of a 52-year-old male from the Indian population. Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is a variant of ameloblastoma known for its unique histopathological features, while squamous odontogenic tumour is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumour with distinctive clinical behaviour. The rarity of this occurrence emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies. This report discusses the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and histopathological characteristics of this collision tumour. Through the presentation of this case, we aim to contribute to the understanding of these rare entities and their management considerations.

B-Cell Lymphoma of Mandible: A Unique Case Report with Diagnostic Perplexity.

Lymphoma in the jaw bone is a rare malignant neoplasm with heterogeneous nature diagnosis of which requires utmost knowledge of cellular morphology and tissue architecture. The lineage of the neoplastic lymphocytes, whether it is B- or T-cell or mixed in nature, is designated by cluster of differentiation numbers. Broad classification of malignant lymphoma includes Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which have various subtypes. An unusual case of a B-cell lymphoma in the mandible in a middle-aged male patient is presented herewith clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of retro-molar trigone: Unveiling the mystery of rare diagnosis.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC), a low-grade malignant neoplasm of glandular origin, most commonly involves major and occasionally minor salivary glands. It is rare in minor salivary glands such as hard and soft palate, buccal mucosa, tongue, and so on, frequently affecting geriatric females. EMC comprises diverse histo-pathologic features of an epithelial, myoepithelial de-lineating biphasic pattern along with clear cells, sometimes oncocytic differentiation. Aberrant histo-pathologic features in EMC need judicious discrimination from alike entities, which facilitates appropriate surgical management. Here, we present an unusual case report of EMC in the left retro-molar trigone region in a 60-year-old male patient, the complete diagnosis of which was based on clinical, radiological, histo-pathological, and immuno-histo-chemical features.

Gnathic variant of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma: A unique case report.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (AdCC) is an uncommon malignant epithelial salivary gland neoplasm, which is indolent yet persistent. Intraosseous /central variant of AdCC of the jaw is poorly understood owing to its innocuous clinical presentation thus posing a diagnostic challenge. AdCC is characterized by perineural invasion, late distant metastasis and a high recurrence rate , thus having a major effect on the mortality and morbidity rate. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage which is chiefly achieved through histological examination and complete clinic-radiological work up. A clinical case of an intraosseous variant of AdCC, involving the mandible of a 49 year old male patient is discussed herewith, encompassing the entire spectrum of clinicopathological, radiological and treatment modalities rendered.

A miscellany of cribriform pattern, squamous metaplasia and clear cells in pleomorphic adenoma of upper lip: A diagnostic paradox.

Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA), a benign neoplasm of glandular origin most commonly involves major salivary glands. It is rare in minor salivary glands such as hard palate, upper lip and buccal mucosa, frequently affecting middle aged females. PA comprises diverse histopathologic features of epithelial, myoepithelial and mesenchymal components. Aberrant histopathologic features in Pleomorhic Adenoma thus calls for judicious discrimination from alike entities which facilitates appropriate surgical management. Here we present a case report of PA in upper lip in a 25 year old female patient showing uncommon findings like clear cells, squamous metaplasia and cribriform pattern.
