Dental management in an encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis patient: a case report.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare, non-hereditary, congenital neuro cutaneous disorder characterized by vascular hamartomatous proliferations affecting classically, the leptomeninges and the skin of the face and may be associated with glaucoma, seizures and mental retardation. Intraoral findings are variable. A case of Roach type II Sturge Weber syndrome is reported here that did not show any neurological disorder but revealed a prominent angiomatous enlargement of the ipsilateral maxillary gingiva. SWS is a condition where dental management and surgical procedures of the patient can be risky, thus a sound knowledge of the disease and its management protocols better equips the clinician to avoid serious complications.

Collision lesion of mandible--coexistence of keratocystic odontogenic tumor with central giant cell granuloma: a rare case report.

AIM AND BACKGROUND: An odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) or keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and giant cell granuloma (GCG) in the jaws are common lesions which have been studied extensively in detail over the years. However, a lesion showing features of both is exceptionally rare and is reported only twice in the literature till date. CASE DESCRIPTION: A rare case of OKC in mandible showing foci of GCG like areas is reported in a 29 years old male patient. CONCLUSION: It seems to be a collision lesion, though the possibility of KCOT showing a reactive response to form giant cells or it being a rare variant cannot be totally ruled out. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This entity requires aggressive treatment since biological behavior of this unique lesion is difficult to predict unless more of such lesions are reported and followed up in future.
