Résumé
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a neoplasm of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic origin with intermediate biological behavior. We report here two cases of SFT affecting an unusual anatomical site in 58-year-old and 40-year-old female patients and discuss the differential diagnosis of this lesion. In case 01, the lesion showed the clinical appearance of an asymptomatic "blister" with normal color, rubbery consistency, measuring 0.3 cm, and affected the lower lip; while in case 02, a symptomatic red nodular lesion with a soft consistency and measuring 0.5 cm affected the floor of the mouth. Excisional biopsies were performed. Microscopically, two well-delimited benign neoplasms were observed, exhibiting the proliferation of ovoid to spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells, vascular spaces with staghorn arrangement, and the absence of mitosis figures. Immunohistochemistry was performed in case 01 to assist in the diagnosis. Weak and diffuse immunostaining was observed for α-SMA and intense and diffuse immunopositivity for Bcl-2 and CD34. Based on histopathological and immunohistochemical features, a diagnosis of SFT was rendered in both cases. The low occurrence and nonspecific clinical features of oral SFT may make its clinical diagnosis difficult. Also, morphological and immunohistochemical are essential for differential diagnosis with other mesenchymal neoplasms.(AU)
O tumor fibroso solitário (TFS) é uma neoplasia de origem fibroblástica/miofibroblastica com comportamento biológico intermediário. Nesse artigo relatamos dois casos de TFS afetando sítios anatômicos incomuns em pacientes do sexo feminino de 58 anos e 40 anos e discutir os seus diagnósticos. No caso 01 clinicamente a lesão apresentou um aspecto de "bolha" assintomática, coloração normal da mucosa, consistência borrachoide medindo 0,3 cm, em região de lábio inferior, enquanto que no caso 02, como uma lesão sintomática, vermelha, nodular com consistência mole e medindo 0,5 cm afetando o assoalho bucal. As biópsias excecionais foram realizadas. Microscopicamente, observamos duas lesões neoplásicas bem delimitadas exibindo uma proliferação de células mesenquimais variando de ovoides a fusiformes, vasos sanguíneos em formato de "chifre de veado", com ausência de figuras de mitoses. No caso 01 foi realizado análise imuno-histoquímica para auxiliar no diagnóstico. Foi observado uma marcação fraca e difusa de α-SMA e uma intensa e difusa imunopositividade para o Bcl-2 e CD34.Baseado nos achados histopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos o diagnóstico de TFS foi estabelecido em ambos os casos. A baixa ocorrência e os achados clínicos inespecíficos do TFS oral podem dificultar o diagnóstico clínico. Além disso, as análises morfológicas e imuno-histoquimicas são essenciais para realização do diagnóstico diferencial com outras neoplasias mesenquimais.(AU)_

Introdução: Rânula é um fenômeno de extravasamento de muco, também chamado cisto de retenção de muco, que ocorre especificamente no soalho bucal. A origem da mucina extravasada é usualmente da glândula sublingual, podendo, porém, se originar do ducto da glândula submandibular ou, ainda, das glândulas salivares menores presentes no soalho de boca. Rânulas de dimensões maiores usualmente originam se do corpo da glândula sublingual. Relato de caso: Este trabalho descreve um caso em uma criança de 5 anos de idade com uma rânula em região lateral esquerda de língua, e discutir questões sobre o tratamento desta patologia. Considerações finais: Há várias formas de tratamento, sendo as mais usadas a marsupialização, concomitante ou não com a excisão cirúrgica da lesão e da glândula salivar envolvida... (AU)
Introduction: Ranula is a phenomenon of mucus leakage, also called mucus retention cyst, which occurs specifically in the mouth floor. The origin of the extravasated mucin is usually from the sublingual gland, but it can originate from the duct of the submandibular gland or even from the minor salivary glands it presents on the floor of the mouth. Larger sized ranulas usually arise from the body of the sublingual gland. Case report: This work is a case in a 5-year-old child with a ranula in the left tongue region, and discuss about the treatment of this pathology. Final considerations: There are several forms of treatment, the most used being marsupialization, concomitant or not with a surgical excision of the lesion and the involved salivary gland... (AU)

Introduction: Body piercings consist of small holes made with a needle in different parts of the skin or body to introduce a jewel or decorative element. In the oral cavity, most piercings are placed in the tongue. However, some complications may occur, and surgical techniques must be used for their removal. These complications present a certain degree of difficulty due to their position and may challenge the ability of the clinician to access the specific anatomical location. The different imaging techniques, from simple radiography to intraoperative techniques such as image intensifiers, have become an extremely useful tool for locating an object in the three dimensions of space, allowing safe location and extraction. Objective: The aim of this study is to report the case of a complication of a body piercing in the oral cavity and how the use of imaging was decisive for surgical planning and for the quick and effective resolution of the case. Material and Methods: A 14-year-old female patient came looking for treatment. Her mother reported the onset of the condition after the insertion of a needle-like metallic object while performing an artistic perforation in the lingual region. Since the girl was unable to extract the object, she sought medical advice at the Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela. Subsequently, an imaging study was performed by means of a Computed Tomography to locate the metallic object. It was observed that the foreign body had migrated to the floor of the mouth/sublingual region, requiring the area to be surgically approached. It was also decided to use an intraoperative image intensifier. The removal of the object was performed satisfactorily. Conclusion: The extraction of foreign bodies placed in the lingual and sublingual region represents a challenge for the clinician due to the number of important anatomical structures that pass through that area. This makes clinicians plan their surgical removal using pre- and intraoperative imaging, to find a less traumatic location, reduce surgical time as well as the risk of damaging adjacent anatomical structures.
Introducción: Los body piercings consisten en producir perforaciones con una aguja en diferentes localizaciones de la piel con el fin de introducir una joya o elemento decorativo a través del agujero producido previamente. En la cavidad oral, la lengua es el sitio de mayor elección; sin embargo, en ciertas ocasiones suelen presentarse ciertas complicaciones, por lo cual se debe recurrir a técnicas quirúrgicas para su remoción presentando cierto grado de dificultad para su localización y la capacidad del clínico para acceder al espacio anatómico. Las diferentes técnicas imagenológicas desde una radiografía simple hasta técnicas intraoperatorias como los intensificadores de imágenes se han convertido en una herramienta sumamente útil para la ubicación de un objeto en las tres dimensiones del espacio, permitiendo una localización y extracción segura para el clínico y el paciente. Objetivo: El propósito de este trabajo es reportar un caso de una complicación de esta práctica en la región bucal y cómo el uso de la imagenología fue determinante para la planificación quirúrgica y la resolución del caso de manera rápida y efectiva. Material y Métodos: Se presenta a consulta una paciente femenina de 14 años de edad, quien madre refiere inicio de enfermedad actual posterior a introducirse objeto metálico tipo aguja de compás con la finalidad de realizar perforación artística en región lingual, al no poder extraer dicho objeto, acude a evaluación en el Hospital Militar Carlos arvelo de Caracas; posterior se realiza estudio imagenológico tipo Tomografía Computarizada para la ubicación del objeto metálico donde se observa que el cuerpo extraño habría migrado hacia el piso de boca/región sublingual, teniendo la necesidad de abordar quirúrgicamente la zona y elegir el uso de intensificador de imagen transoperatorio para retiro del mismo el cual se dio de manera satisfactoria. Conclusión: Los cuerpos extraños desplazados a la región lingual y sublingual representan un desafío para el clínico al momento de extraerlos, esto se debe a la cantidad de estructuras anatómicas importantes que pasan por dicha zona, lo que hace que el clínico opte en su planificación quirúrgica por el uso de imagenología pre y transoperatoria obteniendo así una localización menos traumática, menor tiempo operatorio y menor riesgo de lesión de estructuras anatómicas adyacentes.

SUMMARY: The mylohyoid muscle, one of the suprahyoid group, forms the floor of the mouth. Its main function is swallowing. It is a margin between the sublingual and the submandibular spaces and is important in the pathway of oral and maxillofacial infection. In prosthodontics, it is one of anatomic landmarks that limits the lingual margin of the mandibular denture. Currently, the muscle receives much interest in the fields of maxillofacial reconstruction and rejuvenation. The hemorrhagic issue around the mandibular lingual region is usually involved with the mylohyoid especially in the dental implant installation. This review covers anatomic features of the mylohyoid muscle with diverse clinical implications.
RESUMEN: El músculo milohioideo es un músculo del grupo suprahioideo que forma el piso de la cavidad oral. Su función principal es la deglución. Es conocido como un límite entre los espacios sublingual y submandibular y es importante en la vía de infección oral y maxilofacial. En la prostodoncia, es uno de los hitos anatómicos que limita el margen lingual de la dentadura mandibular. Actualmente, el músculo recibe mucho interés en los campos de la reconstrucción y el rejuvenecimiento maxilofacial. El problema hemorrágico alrededor de la región lingual mandibular generalmente está relacionado con el músculo milohioideo, especialmente en la instalación de implantes dentales. Esta revisión cubre las características anatómicas del músculo milohioideo con diversas implicaciones clínicas.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of trifoliate flap design of radial forearm flap in reconstruction of defects after mouth floor cancer resection. Methods: From June 2016 to December 2019, 12 patients with defect after resection of mouth floor cancer were treated with trifoliate flap design of radial forearm flap. All of these patients were T2 stage, included 9 well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 3 moderate differentiated SCC. The defect size ranged from 8.0 cm×6.0 cm to 5.0 cm×4.5 cm after resection of tumor and neck dissection. All defects were repaired with trifoliate flap design of radial forearm flap. The flap size ranged from 8.0 cm×2.0 cm to 4.0 cm×1.5 cm, the donor site was sutured directly on Z plasty. Results: All flaps completely survived well. Both the wound and the donor site were stage Ⅰ healing. With the average follow-up of 38.6 months, the swallowing and speech function were satisfactory. Conclusions: Trifoliate flap design of radial forearm flap can effectively repair the postoperative defect of mouth floor cancer, and the donor site can be directly sutured on Z plasty. This technique can avoid forearm scar caused by skin grafting and the formation of the second donor site.

Abstract Pathological parameters have been indicated as tumor prognostic factors in oral carcinoma. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of pathological parameters on prognosis of patients affected only by tongue and/or floor of the mouth squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Methodology: In total, 380 patients treated in the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA) from 1999 to 2006 were included. These patients underwent radical resection followed by neck dissection. The clinical and pathological characteristics were recorded. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were used in survival analysis. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and disease-free interval (DFI) were estimated. Cox residuals were evaluated using the R software version 3.5.2. Worst OS, CSS and DFI were observed in patients with tumors in advanced pathological stages (p<0.001), with the presence of perineural invasion (p<0.001) and vascular invasion (p=0.005). Results: Advanced pathological stage and the presence of a poorly differentiated tumor were independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS. However, advanced pathological stage and perineural invasion were independent predictors of a shorter OS, DFI and CSS. Conclusion: Pathological stage and perineural invasion were the most significant pathological variables in survival analysis in tongue and/or floor of the mouth SCC.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Cerebral palsy involves loss or impairment of motor function attributed to non-progressive disturbances occurring in the developing fetal or infant brain. Self-inflicted oral trauma is a recurrent parafunctional habit in individuals with cerebral palsy. Objective: Describe two treatment modes for self-inflicted oral trauma in a 6-year-old male patient with cerebral palsy over a 5-year follow-up period. Case presentation: The child had been having pain due to injuries to the mouth floor and lingual frenum regions. Initially, low-level laser therapy was applied to accelerate the healing process of the wounds. Five years later, the child started to present worse oral injuries and placement of a fixed oral appliance was proposed. Intraoral examination showed that the wounds had healed completely in response to the oral appliance. Conclusions: Different therapies may be useful to control the recurrence of self-inflicted oral injuries(AU)
RESUMEN Introducción: La parálisis cerebral provoca una pérdida o deterioro de la función motora atribuida a trastornos no progresivos del desarrollo cerebral fetal o infantil. La lesión autoinfligida es un hábito parafuncional recurrente en personas con parálisis cerebral. Objetivo: Describir dos modalidades de tratamiento para las lesiones autoinfligidas en un niño de 6 años de edad con parálisis cerebral durante un periodo de seguimiento de 5 años. Presentación del caso: El niño presentaba dolor debido a lesiones en la región del suelo de la boca y el frenillo lingual. Inicialmente se aplicó terapia con láser de baja intensidad para acelerar el proceso de cicatrización de las heridas. Cinco años más tarde el niño empezó a presentar lesiones bucales más severas, por lo que se propuso la colocación de un dispositivo oral fijo. El examen intraoral mostró que las lesiones habían cicatrizado completamente en respuesta al dispositivo oral instalado. Conclusiones: Diferentes terapias pueden ser útiles para controlar la recurrencia de las lesiones orales autoinfligidas(AU)

Introdução: Os cistos epidermoides são anomalias de desenvolvimento incomum na região de cabeça e pescoço. Possuem um crescimento lento progressivo, podendo atingir grandes proporções, contendo queratina em seu interior. A teoria mais aceita sobre a origem desses cistos afirma que eles são derivados dos restos epiteliais retidos na linha média, durante o fechamento dos 1° e 2° arcos branquiais, na terceira e na quarta semana de vida intrauterina. São lesões assintomáticas e, dependendo da extensão, podem causar alterações estéticas e funcionais. Relato de caso: Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico, tratado de maneira cirúrgica, de um cisto epidermoide localizado no assoalho da cavidade bucal. Considerações Finais: Apesar de ser uma entidade rara e benigna, esse tipo de doença não deve ser subestimado. Dada a sua relevância, é importante realizar o diagnóstico diferencial tanto clínico como anatomopatológico, uma vez que o conhecimento dessa lesão por parte do cirurgião-dentista é fundamental para um diagnóstico precoce e um tratamento adequado, garantindo a saúde do paciente...

Introduction: Epidermoid Cysts are an unusual development in the region of the head and neck. It develops slowly and can reach large proportions, and some of them can contain keratin in its interior. The most accepted theory about the origin of the cysts is that they are derived from epithelial debris retained in the midline. This happened at the closure of the 1st and 2nd gill arches, usually after the third and fourth week of intrauterine life. They are asymptomatic lesions, and depending on the extent, it can cause aesthetic and functional alterations. Case report: The purpose of this article is to discuss the origin, location, classification, clinical characteristics and surgical treatments of an epidermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth. Final considerations: This type of disease, despite being a rare and benign entity, should not be underestimated. It is interesting to make the differential diagnosis both clinical and anatomopathological. Therefore, it is of great importance the knowledge of this injury by the dental surgeon for an early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment, guaranteeing the health of the patient... (AU)

Dermoid cyst (DC) is a cystic lesion of developmental origin and uncertain etiology that rarely affects the floor of the mouth. We report a case of a large lesion found in the submental and submandibular region in a 25-year-old male patient. Computed tomography revealed extensive hypodense lesion in the submental and submandibular space without peripheral enhancement. The microscopical analysis showed a cystic cavity lined by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The cystic capsule was composed of dense fibrous connective tissue containing cutaneous attachments, such as sebaceous and sweat glands. The diagnosis of DC was made. The differential diagnosis of expansive sublingual lesions can be clinically challenging due to the similarity with several lesions frequently observed in this region. Herein, we describe a case of extensive DC arising in the floor of the mouth, presenting clinical, imaging, and microscopical features.

Introdução: Os sialolitos são calcificações, que ocorrem no interior dos ductos ou nas glândulas salivares. De origem desconhecida, tal afecção constitui uma das mais comuns, que acometem as glândulas salivares, podendo ter tamanhos diversos e localizações. Os sialolitos maiores de 15 mm são considerados raros, podendo gerar uma diminuição da qualidade de vida do paciente em virtude de alterações funcionais da glândula salivar acometida. O diagnóstico de tal afecção é realizado por meio do exame clínico associado a radiografias e, se necessário, tomografia computadorizada na busca de uma maior elucidação do caso. Atualmente, existem diversas modalidades de tratamento para os sialolitos, que irá depender de sua localização e dimensões, variando desde tratamento conservador, com utilização de hidratação e sialogogos à remoção cirúrgica do sialolito. Relato de caso: Este artigo científico tem como objetivo relatar o caso clínico de um raro sialolito de aproximadamente 37 mm, localizado no ducto de Wharton em paciente geriátrico. O caso foi conduzido por remoção cirúrgica do sialolito com a confecção de uma nova desembocadura para o ducto. Considerações Finais: Após 2 anos de proservação, a região de assoalho bucal apresenta sinais de normalidade com relação a fluxo salivar e estruturas anatômicas adjacentes, sem apresentar recidiva da lesão...

Introduction: Sialoliths are calcifications that occur within the ducts or in the salivary glands. Of unknown origin, this condition is one of the most common that affects the salivary glands and may have different sizes and locations. Sialoliths larger than 15 mm are considered rare, and may lead to a reduction in the quality of life due to functional alterations of the affected salivary gland. The diagnosis of this condition is made through clinical examination associated with radiographs and, if necessary, computed tomography in the search for a better elucidation of the case. Currently, there are several treatment modalities for sialolites, which will depend on their location and dimensions, ranging from conservative treatment with hydration and sialogogs to the surgical removal of sialolite. Case report: This scientific article aims to report the clinical case of a rare sialolite of approximately 37mm, located in the Wharton duct in a geriatric patient. The case was conducted by surgical removal of the sialolite with the creation of a new outlet for the duct. Final considerations: After 2 years of proservation, the buccal floor region shows signs of normality with respect to salivary flow and adjacent anatomical structures and not presenting recurrence of the lesion...

Introdução: Muitos pacientes portadores de sequência de Pierre Robin (micrognatia, glossoptose e obstrução de via aérea) apresentam o músculo genioglosso alterado, encurtado e retrátil, que impede a protração lingual, mantendo a parte anterior da língua verticalizada e seu volume deslocado em direção posterior. Isso pode corroborar para obstrução supraglótica, dificuldade alimentar e inversão das forças de estímulo do crescimento do corpo mandibular. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de pacientes com Pierre Robin tratados entre 2012 e 2017 pela equipe, com descrição da "ortoglossopelveplastia", que propõe uma modificação na glossopexia, soltando o genioglosso anômalo da sua inserção, liberando a língua para elevar seu terço anterior e avançar o volume de sua base, sendo auxiliada por ponto de tração da base lingual à sínfise mandibular. Apresentamos um algoritmo de tratamento proposto que prioriza a necessidade desta cirurgia, associada ou não à distração mandibular, de acordo com a gravidade da dificuldade respiratória e/ou alimentar. Resultados: São apresentados 12 casos de obstrução da orofaringe atendidos de 2012 a 2017, discutem-se suas prioridades, a ortoglossopelveplastia e se aplica o algoritmo proposto. Conclusão: A reorganização anatômica da musculatura em uma posição anteriorizada correta proporciona protração e funcionalidade à língua, com desobstrução da via aérea na orofaringe, melhora da função alimentar e do desenvolvimento mandibular, com baixa morbidade cirúrgica e poucas complicações.
Introduction: Several patients with the Pierre Robin sequence (micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction) have an altered, shortened, and retractable genioglossus muscle that prevents protraction of the tongue and keeps the anterior part of the tongue vertical and its volume posteriorly displaced. This can contribute to supraglottic obstruction, feeding difficulty, and inversion of the growth stimulation forces of the mandibular body. Methods: A retrospective study of patients with the Pierre Robin sequence treated between 2012 and 2017 with "orthoglossopelveplasty," which includes modification of glossopexy, releasing the anomalous genioglossus of its insertion and releasing the tongue to raise its anterior third and advance the volume of its base using a traction suture of the tongue base to the mandible symphysis. We present a treatment algorithm that prioritizes the need for surgery associated, or not, with mandibular distraction in accordance with respiratory and/or feeding difficulty severity. Results: Twelve cases of oropharyngeal obstruction treated from 2012 to 2017 are presented, their priorities and orthoglossopleoplasty are discussed, and the proposed algorithm is applied. Conclusion: Anatomical reorganization of the musculature in a correct anterior position provides protraction and functionality to the tongue, clears the airway in the oropharynx, and improves the feeding function and mandibular development, with low surgical morbidity rates and few complications.

Lipoma is one of the most common benign tumors in the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity. Oral lipomas can occur on the cheeks, tongue, lips, gums and rarely on the floor of the mouth. Clinical symptoms are usually asymptomatic yellow masses. Sometimes the tumor grows and can have difficulty speaking and mastication. The treatment of lipoma is surgical excision, and recurrence is rare. We present a case of oral lipoma in an unusal location on the floor of mouth which is rare in the literature.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Generally, the benign mixed tumors of the submandibular gland are successfully removed via transcervical approach. Recently, however, an alternative to the standard transcervical approach, such as an intraoral approach, has been reported. The surgical results of intraoral excisions for submandibular mixed tumors are discussed here. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: A retrospective review was carried out for 24 patients with submandibular mixed tumors who were past 3 years of follow-up. Surgical morbidities and benefits were studied using these data. RESULTS: All patients successfully received an excision of the submandibular gland with tumor via an intraoral approach. Early postoperative complications of temporary lingual sensory paresis were developed in 75% of patients, followed by 54% of patients with temporary limitation of tongue movement. In contrast, there were no permanent paresis. Late complications were developed in two cases of mild deviation of tongue due to scar contracture on the floor of mouth, whereas two cases of tumor recurrence and one case of post-gustatory sweating syndrome were observed after surgery. CONCLUSION: This approach might be safe, if used with proper expertise, for the treatment of submandibular mixed tumors. The main advantages of this approach are that no external scars nor permanent injury are incurred to the related nerves. However, disadvantages are temporary lingual paresis and temporary limitation of tongue movement. Unfortunately, there were two cases showing recurrence after surgery and thus required more follow-up.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the predictive factors for survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and investigated the overall and disease-specific survival (DSS) outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 67 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for OSCC from January 2006 to November 2014 were included in this study. Patients were classified according to age, sex, pTNM stages, primary sites, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, depth of invasion, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, cell differentiation and postoperative radiotherapy. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the survival categorized by patient groups. Cox regression methods were used to investigate the main independent predictors of survival. RESULTS: Nineteen patients died of OSCC during follow-up periods. Another five patients died of other diseases including lung adenocarcinoma (n=1), cerebral infarction (n=1), general weakness (n=2), and pneumonia (n=1). The tongue (n=16) was the most common site for primary origin, followed by buccal mucosa (n=15), mandibular gingiva (n=15), maxillary gingiva (n=9), floor of mouth (n=9), retromolar trigone (n=2), and palate (n=1). Eleven patients had pTNM stage I disease, followed by stage II (n=22) and stage IV (n=34). No patients had pTNM stage III disease in this study. The overall survival of all patients was 64.2% and the DSS was 71.6%. DSS of patients with stage I and II disease was 100%. Stepwise Cox regression showed the two predictors for DSS were pTNM stage (P<0.0001, odds ratio=19.633) and presence of metastatic lymph nodes (P=0.0004, odds ratio=0.1039). CONCLUSION: OSCC has been associated with poor prognosis; however, there were improved survival outcomes compared with past studies. Advanced-stage disease and presence of metastatic lymph nodes were associated with poorer survival compared with early-stage OSCC and absence of neck node metastasis. Stage I and II OSCC were associated with excellent survival results in this study.

Background: Hemorrhages, mouth floor edema and tongue elevation are complications related to surgical procedures in the anterior region of the mandible. Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the presence and location of the lingual foramen in the anterior region of the mandible and to evaluate mandibular morphology using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Material and method: The mandible's morphology and the location, diameter and height of the lingual foramina were analyzed using the midline and the mental foramen as references, in 278 CBCT. Result: 88% of the sample had a midline lingual foramen, totaling 408 foramina, with a mean diameter of 0.93 mm. Foramina in the lingual region between the midline and mental foramina were detected in 75% of the sample, with a mean diameter of 0.807 mm. There was no positive correlation between the presence of lingual foramina in the lateral or in the midline regions (r = -0.149; p = 0.013). In the midline region, the type I mandibular shape was predominant (96%), and type III was predominant in the lateral regions. Conclusion: Considering the prevalence of these structures and their clinical relevance in potential surgical complications, it is important to carefully analyze the anterior region of the mandible during surgical planning.
Introdução: Hemorragias, edema no assoalho bucal e elevação da língua são complicações relacionadas a procedimentos cirúrgicos na região anterior da mandíbula. Objetivo: Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar a presença e localização do forame lingual na região anterior da mandíbula e avaliar a morfologia mandibular utilizando tomografia computadorizada com feixe de cone (CBCT). Material e método: A morfologia da mandíbula e a localização, diâmetro e altura do forame lingual foram analisados utilizando a medula e o forame mental como referências em 278 CBCT. Resultado: 88% da amostra tinha um forame lingual da linha média, totalizando 408 forames, com um diâmetro médio de 0,93 mm. Na região lingual entre a linha média e forames mentais foram detectados em 75% da amostra, com um diâmetro médio de 0,807 mm. Não houve correlação positiva entre a presença de forames lingual nas regiões lateral ou na região média (r = -0,149; p = 0,013). Na região da linha média, a forma mandibular do tipo I era predominante (96%) e o tipo III predominava nas regiões laterais. Conclusão: Considerando a prevalência dessas estruturas e sua relevância clínica em possíveis complicações cirúrgicas, é importante analisar cuidadosamente a região anterior da mandíbula durante o planejamento cirúrgico.

Los quistes epidermoides localizados en cabeza y cuello son poco comunes y pueden ser difíciles de diagnosticar. Se describen los casos de cuatro pacientes con quistes epidermoides de cabeza y cuello, dos con localización en la región sublingual y extensión suprahioidea, otro localizado en la pared orofaríngea posterolateral y otro en la región submaxilar y submentoniana. Fueron tratados con éxito mediante abordajes transorales y transcervical, respectivamente. Se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía y se describieron las características anatómicas, clínicas e histológicas y el tratamiento de estas infrecuentes lesiones. (AU)
Epidermoid cysts of the head and neck are rare and can be difficult to diagnose. Two cases of patients with epidermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth with suprahyoid extension, other located at posterolateral oropharynx wall andother located at the submandibular and submental space with extention to midline are described. They were successfully treated by a transoral and transcervical approach respectively. A review of the literature was performed, and the anatomical, clinical and histological aspects and treatment of these uncommon tumors were reported. (AU)

Los Quistes Derrmoides son una patología frecuente, pero su localización en la cavidad oral es excepcional; cuando se presentan en el suelo de la boca muestran una tumoración benigna de la línea media. Para el abordaje quirúrgico son factores determinantes su tamaño y las relaciones anatómicas; sin embargo la exéresis intrabucal demuestra beneficios estéticos y funcionales. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 9 años de edad, con aumento de volumen en el piso de la boca y región submentoniana, de 2 años de evolución, crecimiento lento, progresivo y asintomática. Se realizaron estudios complementarios y bajo anestesia general nasotraqueal, se procedió a su exéresis quirúrgica mediante un abordaje intrabucal. El diagnóstico histopatológico reportó Quiste Dermoide en el suelo de la boca. La paciente no ha tenido recurrencia de la lesión transcurridos 1 año de la cirugía.
The Derrmoid Cysts are a frequent pathology, nevertheless their location in the oral cavity is exceptional, when they occur in the floor of the mouth they show a benign tumor of the midline. Their size and anatomical location are determining factors in the surgical approach; however, the intra-oral exeresis demonstrates aesthetic and functional benefits. We present the case of a 9-year-old patient, with increased volume in the floor of the mouth and submental region, of 2 years of evolution, slow growth, progressive, asymptomatic. Complementary studies were carried out and under nasotracheal general anesthesia, we proceeded to surgical exeresis through an intra-oral approach. The histopathological diagnosis reported a Dermoid Cyst in the floor of the mouth. The patient had no recurrence of the lesion 1 year after the operation. A review is made about the diagnosis and surgical approaches of the Dermoid Cysts.

BACKGROUND: Although previous studies have focused on determining prognostic and causative variables associated with fistula-related complications after head and neck reconstructive surgery, only a few studies have addressed preventive measures. Noting that pooled saliva complicates wound healing and precipitates fistula-related complications, we devised a continuous suction system to remove saliva during early postoperative recovery. METHODS: A continuous suction system was implemented in 20 patients after head and neck reconstructive surgery between January 2012 and October 2017. This group was compared to a control group of 16 patients at the same institution. The system was placed orally when the lesion was on the anterior side of the retromolar trigone area, and when glossectomy or resection of the mouth floor was performed. When the orohypopharynx and/or larynx were eradicated, the irrigation system was placed in the pharyngeal area. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 9.2±2.4 months. The Hemovac system was applied for an average of 7.5 days. On average, 6.5 days were needed for the net drain output to fall below 10 mL. Complications were analyzed according to their causes and rates. A fistula occurred in two cases in the suction group. Compared to the control group, a significant difference was noted in the surgical site infection rate (P < 0.031). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical observations showed reduced saliva pooling and a reduction in the infection rate. This resulted in improved wound healing through the application of a continuous suction system.
