Identification of predictive variables for the recurrence of oral mucocele
2018
Background Oral mucocele is the most common minor salivary gland lesion with good prognosis after surgical removal. However, its recurrence is not rare, sometimes bothersome. This study aimed to identify the possible predictive variables affecting the recurrence rate of oral mucocele. Material and Methods The histoclinical data of 164 patients diagnosed with oral mucocele were retrospectively obtained by reviewing dental records. The predictive variables for its recurrence were identified by analyzing its recurrence rate according to clinical variables. Results The recurrence rate showed the significant differences according to location and age. Oral mucocele recurred with significantly hig…
Mucoceles of the oral cavity : a large case series (1994-2008) and a literature review
2009
Objectives: Evaluating data of patients affected by oral mucoceles, examined at the Unit of Oral Medicine and Pathology of the University of Milan between January 1994 and December 2008. Study Design: Concise review on oral mucoceles and analysis of the clinical files of patients who underwent excisional biopsy (patient age, medical history, diagnosis, date and site of the biopsy, histopathological diagnosis and recurrences if any). Results: During the period June 1994-December 2008, 158 mucoceles were observed (93 males and 65 females), with the most frequent site being the lower lip (53%) (p=0.001 by Fisher?s test). The mean age of the patients was 31.9 years, with a peak of occurrence in…
Radiation-related superficial oral mucoceles : an under-recognized acute toxicity in head and neck cancer patients
2018
Background Acute toxicity is usually defined as adverse changes occurring immediately or a short time after the start of oncological treatment. Material and Methods Cross-sectional retrospective study performed with head and neck cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy from 2013 to 2016. Results Ten (1.2%) patients developed SOMs during radiotherapy, most (80%) of which were men with a mean age of 59.5 years at diagnosis. SOMs mainly affected the floor of the mouth (60%) between the fourth and the sixth weeks of radiation therapy. All lesions were asymptomatic and spontaneously ruptured approximately 9 days after diagnosis. Conclusions Although rare, SOMs may be regarded as an acute oral…
A retrospective 11-year study on lip lesions attended at an oral diagnostic service
2019
Background The objective of this study was to describe the upper and lower lip lesion occurrence in an oral diagnostic service. Material and Methods Retrospective descriptive sectional study was performed. Clinical records were obtained from the archives of an Oral Diagnostic Service referral center between 2006 and 2016. Data such as gender, age, anatomical location, and diagnosis were collected and categorized. The collected data were submitted to a descriptive analysis and Pearson's chi-square test (p ≤ 0.05). Results A total of 587 patient records of lip lesions were analyzed. Most lesions were diagnosed in female (52.1%) and adults (56.9%) patients in the lower lip (76.2%). Among all l…
Caliber-persistent Artery: A Case Report
2019
ABSTRACT The caliber-persistent labial artery (CPLA) is a vascular anomaly in which a main branch of the artery penetrates the submucosal area of the lip without loss of caliber. It commonly presents as an elevated soft tissue mass and is often pulsatile on manual palpation. Clinical suspicion is important, given the risk of bleeding, either from slight trauma or accidentally if lack of awareness leads to excision of the lesion owing to an incorrect diagnosis. CPLA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any lesion affecting the lip, especially to differentiate from mucocele or squamous cell carcinoma. This particular case of CPLA in the upper lip of a girl presents a both unu…
Mucocele of the dorsal surface of the tongue : a case report
2018
Mucoceles represent one of the most common lesions of the oral cavity, developing as a result of saliva accumulation. The most frequent affected area is the lower lip, followed by floor of mouth, ventral tongue and buccal mucosa. Despite numerous reports of mucoceles originating on the ventral surface of the tongue, only scarce cases of such a lesion identified on the dorsal tongue surface have been described. In this report a mucocele developed on the dorsal tongue of a 74-year-old woman is described. Additionally a review of previously published mucoceles of the dorsal surface of the tongue is provided and discussed. A 74-year-old female patient was referred for a painless swelling on the…
Mucocele de la glandula submaxilar: a propósito de un caso
2005
El mucocele es un término que incluye dos conceptos: el quiste de extravasación, que resulta de la ruptura del conducto de la glándula salival y el consiguiente derrame de la mucina en los tejidos blandos que rodean a dicha glándula, y el quiste de retención, que tiene su origen en la disminución o ausencia de la secreción glandular como consecuencia de la obstrucción del conducto de la glándula salival. No se puede considerar al mucocele como un verdadero quiste, ya que su pared carece de revestimiento epitelial. Este tipo de patología es muy común en las glándulas salivales menores ( sobretodo en las labiales), pero es muy poco frecuente en las glándulas salivales mayores y en concreto, e…
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms: An uncertain nosological entity. Report of a case
2016
Introduction: Appendiceal mucocele is a relatively rare condition characterized by progressive dilation of the appendix caused by intraluminal accumulation of mucoid substance. Its incidence is 0.07 - 0,63% of all appendectomies performed. Case report: We report the case of a 70-year-old man who came to our observation with gravative pain in right lower abdominal region. A computed tomography abdominal scan revealed a cystic/tubular structure like an appendicular mass with wall enhancement but without calcifications suggestive of a mucocele. Into peritoneal cavity we found profuse mucinous material with a 1,5 cm size parietal nodule. We also identified a free perforation of the cecum with c…
Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Evolution of 89 Mucoceles in Children
2009
Purpose The present study was undertaken to evaluate mucoceles in the oral cavity of pediatric patients, including the clinical characteristics, treatment, and progress of the lesions. Patients and Methods A retrospective study was performed from the medical records of patients (0-14 years old) treated for oral mucoceles between 1998 and 2008 in a reference children's hospital. All subjects with mucoceles on lips, mouth, buccal mucosa, and palate were included. The following data were recorded: age, gender, history of trauma, location, size, progression, time before diagnosis, treatment, histologic type, follow-up time, and recurrence. Results A total of 89 patients (mean age, 6.1 years) pa…
A review of 413 salivary gland tumours in the head and neck region.
2013
Objectives: Salivary gland tumours (SGTs) are a group of heterogeneous lesions with complex clinico-pathological characteristics and distinct biological behaviours. Previous studies have reported geographic variations in site distribution, incidence and histological types of SGTs. The aim of this study was to describe the demography of SGTs seen at a tertiary health centre and compare findings with previous studies. Study design: Data on SGTs from archives of the Department of Oral Pathology and the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital Ibadan were retrieved. Information about histological types, age, sex and location were analyzed using SPSS for Window (version 20.0; SPSS In…
