PAPA syndrome: novelties from the Eurofever registry
2019
Introduction: PAPA syndrome is a very rare autoinflammatory condition. Few data are nowadays available about the clinical characteristic, the response to treatment and the outcome of this disease. Objectives:To analyse the data of the PAPA patients enrolled to the Eurofever registry. Methods: the data analysed in the study were extracted from the Eurofever registry, which is hosted in the PRINTO website (www.printo. it). The patients were included in the study in the presence of mutations in the PSTPIP1 gene or, in genetically negative patients, in the presence of at least two of the following clinical manifestation: recurrent pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenousm or skin abscess with ne…
Comparative analysis of mast cell count in normal oral mucosa and oral pyogenic granuloma
2011
Introduction: Mast cells are large granular cells that arise from a multipotent CD 34+ precursor in the bone marrow normally distributed throughout connective tissues. The most common method to study role of mast cells in any altered condition involves their identification and quantification in that condition and compare the values with that of the normal average count or number of mast cells. The present study was thus, undertaken to identify as well as quantify mast cells in oral pyogenic granuloma and compare it with the average count of mast cells in normal oral mucosa, thus aiming to assess the changes in count of mast cells in oral pyogenic granuloma. Materials and Methods: Ten cases …
Peripheral giant cell granuloma associated with a dental implant : a case report
2021
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive exophytic lesion classified as a benign tumor of the oral mucosa. Although its etiology is not clear, it may be a consequence of local chronic irritation or persistent trauma. The objective of this case report was to document the main clinical and histopathological characteristics of a patient with a PGCG associated with a dental implant. A 36 years-old man presented a partly-ulcerated violet-colored sessile-based tumor in the buccal aspect of an implant placed in the fourth quadrant. Radiographically, the implant had one third of marginal bone loss. Differential diagnosis included PGCG and pyogenic granuloma. The implant and the lesion w…

Granuloma piógeno en tapones lagrimales smart plug
2007
espanolCaso clinico: Mujer de 65 anos, diagnosticada de ojo seco, acude por aparicion de tumoracion en canto interno con sensacion de cuerpo extrano. Tres anos antes se le habian implantado tapones lagrimales SmartPlug en ambos puntos lagrimales inferiores. Se aprecio un granuloma en el punto lagrimal inferior izquierdo que se extirpo. Dos semanas despues presento una recidiva lo que obligo a extraer el implante quedandose desde entonces asintomatica. Discusion: Estamos ante un granuloma piogeno en un implante punctal SMART PLUG, complicacion descrita clasicamente con los implantes de silicona, debido posiblemente a la irritacion cronica de los detritus acumulados. Esta complicacion obliga …
Minimally invasive approach to eliminate pyogenic granuloma using Er, Cr: YSGG laser
2013
Backgroung. PG or granuloma pyogenicum is a common tumor like growth of the oral cavity that is considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, arising commonly as a result of constant low grade trauma and poor oral hygiene and in few instances because of hormonal disturbances. Since it is a benign lesion, choice of treatment is surgical excision with removal of underlying cause if any. A newer treatment modality using laser has been reported. Case report. A 16-year-old male patient reported to our sector of oral medicine with the chief complaint of intra-oral painless growth since four months. Past history and medical history did not reveal any relevant information. He was taking no medication …
Histopathologic analysis of gingival lesions : a 20-year retrospective study at one academic dental center
2018
Background The gingiva is part of the periodontium supporting structures surrounding the teeth and commonly involved in gingival and periodontal conditions. Assessing the distribution of gingival lesions is important for evaluating the prevalence of periodontal disease in the population to optimize the oral health care services. The purpose of this study is to report the frequency and distribution of gingival lesions biopsied from 1996-2016. Material and methods This cross-sectional retrospective study retrieved data from all gingival lesions biopsied from 1996-2016 and sent to the King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital oral pathology laboratory. Histologic sections were reviewed in a bl…
The role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in early infectious discitis: a case report after a negative MRI
2019
We present the case of a 70 years old woman with infectious discitis which was detected using Fluorine fluodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), after a negative magnetic resonance imaging. A Streptococuss gallolyticus (bovis gender bacteria) grow on culture. In addition 18F-FDG PET also demonstrated infectious endocarditis which was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography and a colonic neoplasm. Here we have highlighted the potential role of 18F-FDG PET/CT study in patients with a clinical history suggestive of infectious discitis with a negative or indifferent magnetic resonance imaging. Keywords: 18F-FDG PET/TC, Spondylodiscitis, Pyogenic v…
Retained pieces of wood in the retromaxillary space: a case report.
1995
Detection and operative removal of wood as a foreign body in the cranio-maxillary area has received frequent attention in the literature. However, as a rule, most of the cases described are related to the orbit or the orbito-neurocranial space. Almost no literature exists on the detection and treatment of wooden foreign bodies in the retromaxillary space. The authors present an unusual case of long-term retained wood in this area in a child. The case inspires discussion of the general problem of detecting retained retromaxillary wood, even using modern diagnostic tools in this area and the question of the operative therapy, especially the most favourable surgical access.
Reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity: A ten year observational study on North Indian Population.
2011
Back ground: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity as reported in the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Subharti Dental College, Meerut and to compare these data with those of previously reported studies from other regions and countries. Material and Method: Patient records of the Department of Oral Pathology were retrieved during a 10 year period from 2001 to 2010. Data of all reactive hyperplasias namely focal fibrous hyperplasia (FFH), pyogenic granuloma (PG), peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) and peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) were reviewed and analyzed for age, gender, and site of location.
