摘要
Background: Moringa peregrina Forssk is a well-known plant in ethnomedicine due to its widespread uses in various diseases like cough, wound healing, rhinitis, fever, and detoxification. The plant seeds contain compounds that are cytotoxic to many cancer cells. During the therapeutic use of plants via the oral route, some compounds present in the plants may be cytotoxic to normal cell lines and red blood cells. Objective: This study was the first report of investigation of the cytotoxic profile on oral cancer, CAL 27, cell line, and hemolytic activities on human erythrocytes of Moringa peregrina seeds ethanolic extract (MPSE). Methods: MPSE was screened for its cytotoxic effect against oral cancer, CAL 27, cell line using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5,-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The toxicity of MPSE on human erythrocytes was determined by in vitro hemolytic assay. Results: MPSE showed significant anti-proliferative activity against oral cancer, CAL 27 cell line at lower concentrations with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 21.03 µg/mL. At 1,000 µg/ml of MPSE, the maximum hemolysis was found to be 14.3% which is within safer limit. Conclusions: This study revealed a potential anti-oral cancer of MPSE and provided a baseline for its potential use in oral cancer treatment with minimum hemolytic effect on human RBCs.

Introdução: O tratamento de tumores malignos ou benignos, podem resultar em procedimentos cirúrgicos, como a maxilectomia parcial ou total, gerando comunicação bucosinusal nos pacientes. Uma forma de resolver estas alterações maxilofaciais é através do tratamento reabilitador com próteses obturadoras a fim de restabelecer a função mastigatória, estética, fonética e psicológica. Objetivo: o objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar o caso clínico de um paciente oncológico que foi reabilitado com prótese obturadora devido à maxilectomia por neoplasia maligna de seio maxilar. Relato de caso: Paciente de 62 anos, sexo masculino, procurou atendimento odontológico no Centro de Oncologia Bucal da Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP) de Araçatuba SP após a realização de uma maxilectomia parcial com comunicação bucosinusal e foi encaminhado para o Curso de Especialização em Prótese Dentária da Faculdade de Odontologia Unesp/Araçatuba-SP para a reabilitação. Foi proposto, primeiramente a realização da prótese obturadora para fechar a comunicação bucosinusal e uma prótese total inferior para o arco antagonista e, posteriormente, a realização de uma prótese facial. Conclusão: O tratamento reabilitador com próteses obturadoras possui um bom resultado estético e funcional, favorecendo uma melhor função mastigatória e fonética, e melhorando consideravelmente a condição psicológica que é muito afetada nos pacientes submetidos a maxilectomia total ou parcial, sendo necessário uma boa interação com toda a equipe multiprofissional envolvida para que haja um melhor tratamento integrado para a reabilitação e melhora da qualidade de vida(AU)
Introduction: The treatment of malignant or benign tumors can result in surgical procedures, such as partial or total maxillectomy, generating oral communication in patients. One way to resolve these maxillofacial changes is through rehabilitative treatment with obturator prostheses in order to reestablish masticatory, aesthetic, phonetic and psychological function. Objective: the objective of this work was to report the clinical case of a cancer patient who was rehabilitated with an obturator prosthesis due to maxillectomy for malignant neoplasia of the maxillary sinus. Case report: A 62-year-old male patient sought dental care at the Oral Oncology Center of the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP) in Araçatuba SP after undergoing a partial maxillectomy with oral cavity and was referred for the Specialization Course in Dental Prosthesis at the Faculty of Dentistry Unesp/Araçatuba-SP for rehabilitation. It was proposed, firstly, to create an obturator prosthesis to close the bucosinusal communication and a total lower prosthesis for the antagonistic arch and, later, to create a facial prosthesis. Conclusion: Rehabilitative treatment with obturator prostheses has a good aesthetic and functional result, favoring better chewing and phonetic function, and considerably improving the psychological condition that is greatly affected in patients undergoing total or partial maxillectomy, requiring good interaction with the entire the multidisciplinary team involved so that there is better integrated treatment for rehabilitation and improved quality of life

Introdução: os lipomas são as neoplasias benignas de origem mesenquimal mais comum, podendo acometer diversas partes do corpo, sendo a região maxilofacial, de fato, uma das menos frequentes. Clinicamente, manifestam-se como aumentos de volume de crescimento lento e circunscrito, de base séssil ou pediculada, superfície lisa e consistência macia e coloração amarelada. Os sítios intra-orais mais acometidos são a mucosa jugal e o vestíbulo bucal.Dentre suas variantes microscópicas mais comuns, estão o fibrolipoma, composto de um componente fibroso. No entanto, tais variações não afetam o prognóstico do seu tratamento, que deve ser realizado através da excisão conservadora da lesão. OBJETIVO: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso atípico de lipoma intra-oral. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 67 anos, apresentou-se com aumento de volume em região de fundo de vestíbulo mandibular com evolução de, aproximadamente, 10 meses, indolor, com queixas de dificuldade no posicionamento da prótese dentária inferior. O diagnóstico inicial foi de lipoma, confirmado por análise anatomopatológica através de biópsia excisional da peça. Considerações finais: O tratamento de lipomas intra-orais preconizado pela literatura é a excisão local, obtida por meio da biópsia excisional, sendo uma solução eficaz e de baixa morbidade ao paciente(AU)
Introduction: lipomas are the most common benign neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, which can affect different parts of the body, with the maxillofacial region, in fact, one of the least frequent. Clinically, they manifest as slow-growing, circumscribed swellings, with a sessile or pedunculated base, smooth surface, soft consistency and yellowish color. The most affected intraoral sites are the buccal mucosa and the buccal vestibule. Among its most common microscopic variants are the fibrolipoma, composed of a fibrous component. However, such variations do not affect the prognosis of its treatment, which must be carried out through conservative excision of the lesion. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to report an atypical case of intraoral lipoma. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 67-yearold female patient presented with swelling in the bottom region of the mandibular vestibule with an evolution of approximately 10 months, painless, with complaints of difficulty in positioning the lower dental prosthesis. The initial diagnosis was lipoma, confirmed by anatomopathological analysis through excisional biopsy of the specimen. Final considerations: The treatment of intraoral lipomas recommended by the literature is local excision, obtained through excisional biopsy, being an effective solution with low morbidity for the patient(AU)

Oral diseases, such as periodontitis, salivary gland diseases, and oral cancers, significantly challenge health conditions due to their detrimental effects on patient's digestive functions, pronunciation, and esthetic demands. Delayed diagnosis and non-targeted treatment profoundly influence patients' prognosis and quality of life. The exploration of innovative approaches for early detection and precise treatment represents a promising frontier in oral medicine. Exosomes, which are characterized as nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles, are secreted by virtually all types of cells. As the research continues, the complex roles of these intracellular-derived extracellular vesicles in biological processes have gradually unfolded. Exosomes have attracted attention as valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tools for their ability to transfer abundant biological cargos and their intricate involvement in multiple cellular functions. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent applications of exosomes within the field of oral diseases, focusing on inflammation-related bone diseases and oral squamous cell carcinomas. We characterize the exosome alterations and demonstrate their potential applications as biomarkers for early diagnosis, highlighting their roles as indicators in multiple oral diseases. We also summarize the promising applications of exosomes in targeted therapy and proposed future directions for the use of exosomes in clinical treatment.

Tumor progression is closely related to tumor tissue metabolism and reshaping of the microenvironment. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a representative hypoxic tumor, has a heterogeneous internal metabolic environment. To clarify the relationship between different metabolic regions and the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) in OSCC, Single cell (SC) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) sequencing of OSCC tissues were performed. The proportion of TME in the ST data was obtained through SPOTlight deconvolution using SC and GSE103322 data. The metabolic activity of each spot was calculated using scMetabolism, and k-means clustering was used to classify all spots into hyper-, normal-, or hypometabolic regions. CD4T cell infiltration and TGF-β expression is higher in the hypermetabolic regions than in the others. Through CellPhoneDB and NicheNet cell-cell communication analysis, it was found that in the hypermetabolic region, fibroblasts can utilize the lactate produced by glycolysis of epithelial cells to transform into inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts (iCAFs), and the increased expression of HIF1A in iCAFs promotes the transcriptional expression of CXCL12. The secretion of CXCL12 recruits regulatory T cells (Tregs), leading to Treg infiltration and increased TGF-β secretion in the microenvironment and promotes the formation of a tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. This study delineates the coordinate work axis of epithelial cells-iCAFs-Tregs in OSCC using SC, ST and TCGA bulk data, and highlights potential targets for therapy.

As alterações orais potencialmente malignas e o câncer oral, quando diagnosticados precocemente, possuem um bom prognóstico. No entanto, a imprecisão nos atendimentos odontológicos dificulta a detecção precoce, fazendo com que o câncer bucal permaneça como um problema de saúde pública atualmente. Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento de graduandos em odontologia sobre lesões orais de câncer e alterações orais potencialmente malignas. Método: Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário virtual, enviado para graduandos de odontologia de algumas universidades/faculdades localizadas no Estado da Bahia, entre os meses de junho e outubro de 2022. Posteriormente, os dados foram analisados estatisticamente e quatro conceitos foram estabelecidos: A (ótimo nível de informação); B (bom nível de informação); C (nível insatisfatório de informação); e D (péssimo nível de informação). Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 161 estudantes, a maioria entre 20 e 29 anos e do sexo feminino (78,3%). Não houve uma diferença estatística significativa entre os estudantes com até um ano de aprovação em componentes curriculares de estomatologia, patologia ou correlatos, com discentes com mais de um ano de aprovação (p = 0,126). A leucoplasia foi a alteração mais relacionada ao câncer (77%) para os entrevistados, e apenas 23% dos graduandos obtiveram o conceito A; no entanto, 96,9% dos entrevistados possuem interesse em assistir ao curso de educação contínua sobre o assunto. Conclusão: A maioria dos acadêmicos avaliados apresentou um bom nível de informação, entretanto, observou-se que os fatores de risco e a localização das lesões malignas geraram grandes dúvidas nos participantes deste estudo.
Potentially malignant oral disorders and oral cancer in early stages, when diagnosed early, have good prognosis. However, oral cancer is a public health problem today due to imprecision of dental care which makes early detection difficult. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of dental students about oral cancer lesions and potentially malignant oral disorders. Method: Data were collected through a virtual questionnaire sent to undergraduate dentistry students from some universities/colleges located in the state of Bahia, between June and October 2022. Subsequently, the data were statically analyzed and four concepts were established: A (excellent level of information); B (good level of information); C (unsatisfactory level of information) and D (very poor level of information). Results: The sample consisted of 161 female students (78.3%) mostly between 20 and 29 years old. There was no statistically significant difference between students with up to one year of approval in stomatology, pathology or related disciplines, an students with more than one year of approval (p = 0.126). Leukoplakia was the disorder most related to cancer (77%) and only 23% of undergraduates obtained grade A, however, 96.9% of the respondents are interested in attending a continuing education course on the subject. Conclusion: The majority of the students evaluated had good level of information, nevertheless, the study participants had great doubts about the risk factors and the location of malignant lesions.

Sin embargo, la imprecisión en los tratamientos dentales dificulta la detección previa, por lo que el cáncer bucal sigue siendo un problema de salud pública en la actualidad. Objetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento de los estudiantes de odontología sobre las lesiones orales cancerosas y los trastornos orales potencialmente malignos. Método: Los datos fueron recolectados a través de un cuestionario virtual, enviado a estudiantes de grado en odontología de algunas universidades/facultades ubicadas en el estado de Bahía, entre junio y octubre de 2022. Posteriormente, los datos fueron analizados estadisticamente y se establecieron cuatro conceptos: A (nivel excelente de información); B (buen nivel de información); C (nivel de información insatisfactorio) y D (nivel de información muy bajo). Resultados: La muestra estuvo conformada por 161 estudiantes, la mayoría entre 20 y 29 años y de sexo femenino (78,3%). No hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre estudiantes con hasta un año de aprobación en estomatología, patología o disciplinas afines, con estudiantes con más de un año de aprobación (p=0,126). La leucoplasia fue el trastorno que más se relacionó con el cáncer (77%) y solo el 23% de los estudiantes de pregrado obtuvo la calificación A, sin embargo, el 96,9% de los encuestados está interesado en asistir a un curso de educación continua sobre el tema. Conclusión: La mayoría de los estudiantes evaluados presentaron un buen nivel de información, sin embargo, se observó que los factores de riesgo y la localización de las lesiones malignas generaron grandes dudas entre los participantes de este estudio

Aim: Cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX) catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and thromboxanes during pain and inflammation conditions. These enzymes have also been linked to several other conditions and diseases, and hence, in dentistry, it is crucial to identify the processes that increase the levels of these mediators. This paper aims to describe the significance of COX in dental practice through a narrative review. Methods: Articles relating to COX upregulation published in English and Spanish over the last 51 years in databases such as EBSCO, Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and Web of Science; were analyzed. Results: A total of 115 articles demonstrating the relationship between COX upregulation and multiple conditions and diseases of importance in prosthodontics, periodontics, oral pathology, orthodontics, and endodontics were included. Conclusions: COX upregulation is related to inflammatory and malignant diseases in oral tissues, such as periodontitis, pulpitis, and oral cancer, nevertheless, its expression is advantageous in other fields of study such as orthodontics. Additionally, is well documented that dental materials provoke an undesired increase in COX expression, which could be a significant factor that directly affects pulpal health

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the level of oral cancer awareness and risk factors perception and the relationship between this awareness and the sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among rural and urban residents in Lagos State, Nigeria. A multi-stage random sampling method was utilized. The sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics of respondents, as well as their knowledge about oral cancer risk factors, were assessed with a validated questionnaire. The bivariate association was done using an independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. Multivariate regression was used to determine the association between predictor variables and oral cancer knowledge scores. The statistical significance level is set at p<0.05. Results: 590 participants between 18 and 82 years (mean age 34.5 ±13.7) completed the survey. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 25.7%, of which 16 (1.5%) were heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes per day). The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 66.1%, with 57 (9.7%) being heavy drinkers, consuming drinks for 5-7 days of the week. A high proportion of the respondents (>60%) exhibited gaps in their knowledge of oral cancer. Uneducated participants had lower oral cancer knowledge than those with >12 years of formal education (aOR = 5.347; 95% CI: 4.987-6.240). Participants who were smokers had lower oral cancer knowledge compared with non-smokers (aOR = 3.341; 95% CI: 2.147-4.783); Participants who consumed alcohol had more deficient oral cancer knowledge compared with non-drinkers (aOR = 1.699; 95% CI: 1.087-2.655); While heavy smokers aOR = 4.023; 95% CI: 3.615-4.825) and heavy drinkers aOR = 4.331; 95% CI: 3.158-5.939) had lower oral cancer knowledge compared with those who did not abuse both substances. Conclusion: A high proportion of the respondents exhibited gaps in their knowledge of oral cancer in their responses. Delayed diagnosis of oral cancer can be reduced by increasing the awareness and knowledge of the populace about risk factors and also in the recognition of its signs and symptoms.

To report a case of non-neural granular cell tumor (NN-GCT), an uncommon neoplasm, with only six studies worldwide describing cases involving the oral cavity. Methods: A 26-year-old male patient with an erythematous, firm, polypoid nodule in the floor of the mouth that exhibited areas of ulceration and mild bleeding to the touch. A biopsy was performed to aid in the diagnosis. Results: Based on the histopathological and immunohistochemical results (vimentin +, CD68 +, S100 -), the diagnosis was compatible with S100-negative (primitive polypoid non-neural) granular cell tumor. No recurrence was observed over two years of follow-up. Conclusion: The diagnosis of NN-GCT is extremely challenging because this tumor shares histological and immunophenotypic features with many benign and malignant tumors. Although oral NN-GCT may exhibit unusual and atypical histological features, it has an indolent behavior. Thus, until more cases of oral involvement are reported, complete resection and close follow-up are recommended

Abstract Objective: To identify the most prevalent oral lesions based on reports from a pathology institute's reports and associations between malignant and oral potentially malignant disorders with patient's demographic variables and the anatomical location. Material and Methods: All 1,298 histopathological reports of oral lesions recorded in the database were reviewed. Demographic variables, anatomical location of the lesion, histopathological diagnosis of the lesions, and their biological behavior were analyzed. Results: Regarding the biological behavior of the identified lesions, benign lesions were predominant (70%), followed by lesions of undetermined behavior (14.3%), malignant lesions (14.2%), absence of histological alteration (1.2%), and finally, oral potentially malignant disorders (0.5%). The anatomical locations of the most prevalent oral lesions potentially malignant disorders and malignant were in the following structures of the oral cavity: gums, buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth and hard palate (p=49.2%), and tongue (p=48.7%). Conclusion: The probability of malignant and premalignant lesions was higher among males (PR= 4.21; 95% CI 2.08-6.22), the increase in age (PR = 1.06; 95% CI 1.05-1.08), and in the tongue region (PR = 5.48; 95% CI 1.67; 17.92). Identification of malignant and potentially malignant oral conditions is higher in older men and in tongue specimens.

Metastatic lesions in the mouth can resemble common inflammatory lesions. Therefore, we set out to investigate oral metastases whose clinical and imaging characteristics mimicked those of harmless lesions, confusing and delaying the diagnosis. For this, a systematic review was carried out from case reports, case series, and cross-sectional studies in the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase-via Elsevier, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science, and gray literature, using PICO strategy without period restriction. We assessed the quality of studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute assessment tool. A narrative synthesis of the data was carried out. Association analyses using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were performed, with statistical significance at p<0.05. Most of the lesions came from the lung, breast, kidneys, liver, and thyroid. They affected mainly the mandibles of men, between the fifth and seventh decades of life, causing osteolysis. In soft tissue, there were firm swellings, associated with bleeding. Limitations regarding the heterogeneity of the included studies and the absence of clinic pathological descriptions of the tumors substantially reduced the chance of statistical analysis of the data. Knowing the different possibilities of clinical presentation of oral and maxillofacial metastases is important for the diagnost ic suspicion to occur and diagnostic errors to be avoided. Thus, treatment is instituted and survival can be extended. Protocol registration: PROSPERO CRD42020200696.
Las lesiones metastásicas en la cavidad oral pueden parecer similares a lesiones inflamatorias comunes. Por ello, nos propusimos investigar metástasis orales cuyas características clínicas e imagenológicas simularan las de lesiones inofensivas, confundiendo y retrasando el diagnóstico. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática a partir de reportes de casos, series de casos y estudios transversales en PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase-vía Elsevier, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science y literatura gris, utilizando la estrategia PICO sin restricción de periodo. La calidad de los estudios se evaluó mediante la herramienta de evaluación del Instituto Joanna Briggs. Se realizó una síntesis narrativa de los datos. Se realizaron análisis de asociación mediante chi-cuadrado y prueba exacta de Fisher, con significancia estadística en p<0,05. La mayoría de las lesiones procedían de pulmón, mama, riñones, hígado y tiroides. Afectan principalmente a las mandíbulas de los hombres, entre la quinta y la séptima década de la vida, provocando osteólisis. En los tejidos blandos, había hinchazones firmes, asociadas con sangrado. Las limitaciones con respecto a la heterogeneidad de los estudios incluidos y la ausencia de descripciones clinicopatológicas de los tumores redujeron sustancialmente la posibilidad de realizar un análisis estadístico de los datos. Conocer las diferentes posibilidades de presentación clínica de las metástasis orales y maxilofaciales es importante para que se produzca la sospecha diagnóstica y se eviten errores diagnósticos. Por lo tanto, se instituye el tratamiento y se puede prolongar la supervivencia. Registro de protocolo: PROSPERO CRD42020200696.

Oral cavity metastatic tumors derived from primary tumors from other corporal regions are rare, representing barely 1 % of all malignant tumors. Differential diagnosis of these lesions is challenging due to the wide spectrum of lesions with similar clinical presentation and especially when the presence of a primary tumor goes undetected. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a painless tumor in the anterior maxillary region, vestibular gingiva and palate, with a 2-month evolution. Anatomopathological diagnosis was malignant clear cell tumor, highly suggestive of clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis, and the oral lesion constituted the first sign of illness.
Los tumores metastásicos de cavidad oral derivados de tumores primarios de otras regiones corporales son raros, representando apenas el 1 % de todos los tumores malignos. El diagnóstico diferencial de estas lesiones es desafiante debido al amplio espectro de lesiones con presentación clínica similar y especialmente cuando la presencia de un tumor primario pasa desapercibida. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 55 años con una tumoración indolora en región maxilar anterior, encía vestibular y paladar, de 2 meses de evolución. El diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue de tumor maligno de células claras, altamente sugestivo de metástasis de carcinoma renal de células claras, y la lesión bucal constituyó el primer signo de enfermedad.

Objetivos: Instruir e orientar ao cirurgião dentista e demais profissionais de saúde a importância da detecção e rastreio precoce de lesões pré-malignas. Revisão de Literatura: O Líquen Plano Oral é uma condição dermatológica crônica, de origem auto-imune, relativamente comum na população, que atinge o epitélio de mucosa e pele, sendo considerada, pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), uma desordem potencialmente maligna quando associado a áreas de ulceração. A revisão de literatura foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed e Lilacs. Buscamos investigar o potencial de malignização do Líquen Plano Oral associado a condições erosivas, analisando o processo de carcinogênese no processo inflamatório. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o objeto de estudo ainda é um assunto pouco explorado pela literatura, porém há indícios etiopatológicos que enfatizam o processo de malignização oriundo de uma lesão pré-maligna como o Líquen Plano Oral. Além disso, enfatizamos a importância do diagnóstico precoce das lesões estomatognáticas, para que assim possamos aumentar as chances de cura do paciente.(AU)
Objectives: To instruct and guide dentists and other health professionals on the importance of early detection and screening of pre-malignant lesions. Literature Review: Oral Lichen Planus is a chronic dermatological condition, of autoimmune origin, relatively common in the population, which affects the epithelium of the mucosa and skin, being considered, by the World Health Organization (WHO), a potentially fatal disorder. malignant when associated with areas of ulceration. A literature review was performed on the PubMed and Lilacs databases. We sought to investigate the potential for malignancy of Oral Lichen Planus associated with erosive conditions, analyzing the process of carcinogenesis in the inflammatory process. Conclusion: It is concluded that the object of study is still a subject little explored in the literature, but there are etiopathological accusations that emphasize the process of malignancy arising from a pre-malignant lesion such as Oral Lichen Planus. In addition, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of stomatognathic lesions, so that we can increase the patient's chances of cure.(AU)

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:as desordens orais potencialmente malignas (DOPMs) são condições que podem preceder o aparecimento do câncer em cavidade bucal. Objetivo: descrever os principais aspectos clínicos, histológicos e tratamento da leucoplasia, eritroplasia, queilite actínica e líquen plano oral. Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão da literatura atual, em que foram consultados artigos nas bases do MEDLINE/PUBMED e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Os descritores foram localizados usando o vocabulário controlado do MeSH, sendo eles: Leukoplakia; Erythroplakia, Actinic cheilitis, Oral lichen planus, Diagnosis, Therapeutics. Resultados: asapresentações clínicas das DOPMs são diversas. A leucoplasia é a mais comum e deve ser distinguida da leucoplasia verrucosa proliferativa que tem uma apresentação clínica generalizada e uma tendência à recorrência após a excisão; a eritroplasia, embora rara, tem maior chance de malignização. A queilite actínica acomete com frequência o lábio inferior, tem forte relação com exposição solar e pode progredir para o carcinoma escamocelular labial; o líquen plano oral tem uma variedade de apresentações clínicas, sendo a forma reticular a mais comum. O tipo erosivo, atrófico ou bolhoso é acompanhado de sintomatologia dolorosa variável. A biópsia é essencial para confirmar a suspeita clínica das DOPMs e o encaminhamento oportuno para um especialista é indicado. Conclusão: as DOPMs podem ser encontradas durante o exame bucal, possibilitando assim, o diagnóstico precoce, e o correto encaminhamento a um especialista e a intervenção adequada, podendo reduzir a taxa de progressão dessas condições para câncer.
Introduction: Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) are conditions that may precede the onset of cancer in the oral cavity. Objective: To describe the main clinical features, histological aspects and treatment of leukoplakia, erythroplakia, actinic cheilitis and oral lichen planus. Methodology: this is a review of the current literature, in which articles in the databases of MEDLINE/PUBMED and the Virtual Health Library, published in the last 10 years, were consulted. The descriptors were located using the MeSH controlled vocabulary, namely: Leukoplakia; Erythroplakia, Actinic cheilitis, Oral lichen planus, Diagnosis, Therapeutics. Results:the clinical presentations of OPMDs are diverse. Leukoplakia is the most common and must be distinguished from proliferative verrucous leukoplakia which has a generalized clinical presentation and a tendency to reoccur after excision; erythroplakia, although rare, has a greater chance of becoming malignant. Actinic cheilitis frequently affects the lower lip, is strongly related to sun exposure and can progress to labial squamous cell carcinoma; oral lichen planus has a variety of clinical presentations, with the reticular form being the most common. The erosive, atrophic or bullous type is accompanied by different levels of pain. Biopsy is essential to confirm the clinical suspicion of OPMDs and timely referral to a specialist is indicated. Conclusion: OPMDs can be found during oral examination, thus enabling early diagnosis, correct referral to a specialist and appropriate intervention, which may reduce the rate of progression of these conditions to cancer.

El schwanoma es un tumor neural que se origina en las células de Schwann presentes en la vaina nerviosa cuya localización más frecuente a nivel oral es el dorso de lengua, siendo mucho más frecuente en adultos. En población pediátrica la presentación es muy rara siendo lengua su ubicación más frecuente, mientras que a nivel palatino solo se conocen 11 reportes en menores de 16 años. El objetivo de este reporte es presentar un caso clínico inusual de schwanoma palatino en un niño chileno de 12 años de edad, quien fue derivado con diagnóstico clínico presuntivo de carcinoma mucoepidermoide. El caso se complementó con radiografía panorámica, Conebeam, y luego biopsia incisional. Finalmente, se diagnosticó schwanoma palatino variedad sólida. Es importante considerar al schwanoma como diagnóstico diferencial en casos de tumores palatinos, en especial en casos pediátricos ya que se pueden presentar similares características clínicas a tumores de glándula salival.
The Schwannoma or neurilemmoma tumor originates from Schwann cells present in nerve sheaths. At oral level, its most frequent location is at the back of the tongue, being much more frequent in adults. In the pediatric population, this occurrence is rare and most frequently found in the tongue. At palatal level, only 11 reports are known in children under 16 years of age. The aim of this report is to present an unusual clinical case of palatal schwannoma in a 12-year-old Chilean boy, referred with a clinical diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The case was complemented with panoramic radiography and Cone beam, for its subsequent incisional biopsy. Finally, a solid palatal schwannoma was diagnosed. It is important to consider schwannoma as a differential diagnosis in cases of palatal tumors, especially in pediatric cases, since they can present similar clinical characteristics to salivary gland tumors.

Os hemangiomas são neoplasias benignas dos tecidos moles. São lesões caracterizadas pela proliferação de células endoteliais. Objetivos: O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar por meio de uma revisão da literatura os principais hemangiomas de interesse odontológico e suas características clínicas e abordagens terapêuticas. Revisão de literatura: O estudo mostrou prevalência de até 6% na população geral, sendo o tumor mais comum na infância. Essas lesões apresentam rápido crescimento pós-natal, que pode levar meses a dois anos em média, mas geralmente após esse período ocorre sua involução. O diagnóstico é comumente baseado nas características clínicas e na história do paciente. É importante entender que o estudo histopatológico pode ser necessário nos casos em que o diagnóstico é incerto, para diferenciá-lo de outras neoplasias graves. Destacam-se as principais complicações relacionadas a lesões, ulcerações e hemorragias, além de infecções secundárias que podem causar alto índice de morbidade. Assim, é fundamental que o dentista reconheça essas patologias e tenha capacidade para tratá-las. Considerações finais: Foi possível observar que os hemangiomas são manifestações vasculares incomuns para o cirurgião-dentista, porém o profissional deve saber diagnosticá-los e tratá-los. Dentre as áreas acometidas, essas lesões são frequentes na cavidade oral e o tratamento consiste em acompanhamento com intervenções conservadoras(AU)
Hemangiomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms. These are lesions characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells. Objectives: The objective of this work is to demonstrate through a literature review about the main hemangiomas of dental interest and clinical characteristics and therapeutic approaches. Literature review: The study showed a prevalence of up to 6% in the general population, being the most common tumor in childhood. These lesions presents a rapid postnatal growth, which may take months until two years on average, but usually after this period their involution occurs. The diagnosis is commonly based on clinical characteristics and patient's history. It is important to understand that the histopathological study may be necessary in cases that the diagnostic is uncertainty, in order to differentiate it from other serious neoplasms. Main complications related to injuries, ulceration and hemorrhage can be highlighted, in addition to secondary infections that can cause a high rate of morbidity. Thus, it is essential that dentists recognize such pathologies and be able to treat them. Final considerations: Was possible do observe that hemangiomas are uncommon vascular manifestations for the dental surgeon, however, the professional must know to diagnose and treat them. Among the affected areas, these lesions are frequently seen in the oral cavity and the treatment consists of following up with conservative interventions(AU)
