Granular cell tumor: report of 8 intraoral cases.
2006
El Tumor de células granulares es una neoplasia de origen controvertido que puede aparecer en múltiples localizaciones corporales, incluyendo la región orofacial. El comportamiento de este infrecuente tumor es benigno en la mayor parte de los casos, aunque en ocasiones puede presentar agresividad local e incluso malignidad con afectación a distancia. Su etiología es actualmente solo parcialmente conocida y ha generado controversia desde sus primeras descripciones teorizando sobre un origen muscular, conectivo, etc o neural. En este trabajo se presentan 8 casos clínicos con localización intraoral, correspondientes a 5 mujeres y 3 hombres, con una edad media de 36,1 años y en los que la local…
Evolution of oral neoplasm in an andalusian population (Spain)
2018
Background Head and neck cancer are one of the most common neoplasm pathologies in humans. The aim of this study was to analyze the type, characteristics, treatment and evolution of oral neoplasm or precancerous lesion in a sample of Andalusian population (Spain) derived from the Oncology Rehabilitation Hospital Unit during a period of 20 years. Material and Methods A retrospective descriptive study was carried out during the years 1991 and 2011 analyzing the type, characteristics, treatment and follow-up of oral neoplasm in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the Universitary Hospital “Virgen del Rocío”. The inclusion criteria were patients whose underlying pathology was any type of…
Metastatic instability at the proximal end of the femur
1994
A retrospective study was performed of the surgical treatment of metastatic lesions of the proximal femur in 50 patients. In 25 consecutive cases a megaprosthesis was implanted; compound plate osteosynthesis was performed in another 25 consecutive patients. Indications for surgical treatment were pathological fractures or, for prophylactic treatment, lesions of the femoral cortex exceeding 2.5 cm in diameter or affecting half the diameter of the bone or more. In all patients capable of walking preoperatively mobility was regained. Immediate full weight-bearing stability was obtained in all patients. Group analysis showed that the functional rating of the hip joint was unchanged, i.e., good …
Gingival and submandibular lymph node metastasis of sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma
2010
Introduction: Metastatic tumors of oral and maxillofacial region compromise 1% of all malignant oral neoplasms. Most commonly affect the jaw bone and less commonly intraoral soft tissues. They originate mainly from primary tumors of lung, breast, colon-rectum, prostate and kidney. Case report: a 77 years old man with history of sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma and liver metastasis. Two years later of being free of disease, he presented with submandi- bular lymphadenopathy and a gingival mass in right upper jaw. Fine needle aspiration of the node and biopsy of the gingival mass were performed. The cytological smears showed cohesive cell groups on a necrotic background. Biopsy examination showed …
Optimal application of compressive palatal stents following mesiodens removal in pediatric patients:a Randomized Controlled Trial
2021
Background There is no scientific evidence supporting the choice of a palatal stent in patients who underwent removal of an impacted supernumerary tooth. We aimed to investigate the effects of palatal stents in patients who underwent supernumerary tooth removal through a palatal approach and to suggest the optimal stent thickness and material. Material and Methods We recruited 144 patients who underwent extraction of a supernumerary tooth between the maxillary anterior teeth. Subjects were assigned to a control group (CG) or one of four compressive palatal stent groups (CPSGs) classified by the thickness and material of the thermoplastic acrylic stent used. Palatal gingival swelling and obj…
