Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also called Pindborg tumor, presents a rare and extensive diversity in clinical, histopathological features, and biological behavior. Through this work, we expose a case of a 14‐year‐old male with a complaint of gradually increasing swelling on the left lower facial region for 18 months. On oral examination, a hard and fixed swelling, involving the left mandible, was noted extending from the mandibular second premolar to the second molar region. Ra...

Background: Sturge Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, sporadic neurocutaneous disorder caused by somatic mutations in the GNAQ gene, characterized by vascular malformations involving the skin, leptomeninges, and eyes. Although facial port-wine stains, seizures, and ocular abnormalities are the hallmark features, oral manifestations are less frequently reported and may represent an early clinical sign of the disease. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with prog...

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare and aggressive form of multifocal oral lesion characterized by slow progression, resistance to treatment, and a high rate of malignant transformation. This case report describes a 70-year-old female patient presenting with a six-year history of asymptomatic multiple white oral lesions. She reported no history of tobacco or alcohol use but had been wearing an ill-fitting removable denture and using a plant-based mouthwash on a daily basis. Clini...

Secondary oxalosis results from systemic oxalate accumulation most frequently associated with advanced renal failure and long-term hemodialysis. Although deposition most commonly affects the kidney, bone involvement may lead to skeletal fragility, pain, and pathological fractures. Bone oxalosis represents a rare but clinically significant complication of systemic oxalosis. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman undergoing long-term hemodialysis who presented with a pathological femoral neck f...

Introduction: Hypertension affects women in all phases of life and ranks among the most common chronic medical condition characterized by a persistent elevation in the arterial pressure. More than one billion adults worldwide have hypertension with up to 45% of the adult populace being affected with the disease. The high prevalence of hypertension is consistent across all socio-economic and income strata, and the prevalence rises with age accounting for up to 60% of the populati...

An intrathoracic goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland whose lower border is not palpable, with the particularity of extending beyond the upper aperture of the chest and descending into the thorax. In our case, the management consisted of total thyroidectomy via a cervical approach, associated with a sternotomy. This sternotomy technique was performed for the first time in our department. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant neoplasm that primarily arises from the salivary glands. It accounts for approximately 10% of all salivary gland tumors and is the most common malignancy affecting the minor salivary glands. Nearly 50% of cases occur in intraoral sites, with a marked predilection for the hard palate. The parotid gland is the second most common location, followed by the submandibular gland. ACC typically affects individuals between the fourth and sixth decades of...

Superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare medical and surgical emergency. The majority of the patients present with non-specific signs and symptoms that include non-specific abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or hematochezia, which leads to the disease being overlooked even in acute settings. We present a case of SMVT in a young female heterozygous for factor V Leiden with associated risk factors that lead to a timely diagnosis with good outcomes.

Background: Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that originates from epithelial cells. Despite its benign classification, it exhibits local aggressiveness and the potential for unlimited growth. The 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification identifies five distinct subtypes of ameloblastoma, each displaying varying biological behaviors. Plexiform ameloblastoma is a subtype of conventional ameloblastoma that is characterized by a unique histopathological appearance. U...
