Laller S et al. Oral Mucous Extravasation Cyst. Case Report An Appraisal of Oral Mucous Extravasation Cyst Case with Mini Review

A mucocele is a mucus retention phenomenon of the major and, more commonly, the minor salivary glands. This lesion has also been called a mucus extravasation phenomenon. Mucocele is the common salivary gland disorder and it is second most common benign soft tissue tumor in the oral cavity. By definition, they are not true cysts. In the present case the tentative diagnosis of a mucocele was made from the clinical history, clinical presentation and palpation, and the definitive diagnosis was made by histopathology. Conventional treatment of the mucocele was done with excision along the associated overlying mucosa and the glandular tissue down to the muscle layer

Sonographic appearance of cysticercosis of the masseter muscle: A case report

Cysticercosis is an infection with the larval (cysticercus) stage of Taenia solium. The larvae form cysts commonly in brain, meninges, and eyes, which together constitute 86% of cases with remainder located in the muscles, heart, lungs, and peritoneum. Cases in the maxillofacial region, including tongue and cheek muscles are rare. We report a rare case of cysticercosis involving right masseter muscle presenting as a facial swelling, diagnosed on the basis of fine-needle aspiration cytology and high-resolution ultrasonography and managed conservatively

Oral hamartomas with von Recklinghausen disease

Neurofibromatosis is a genetically-inherited disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects the development and growth of neural (nerve) cell tissues and also causes cafe-au-lait spots on the skin, dysplastic abnormalities of the skin, nervous system, bones, endocrine organs and blood vessels. The two major classifications are NF-1, a generalized form, is the commonest and affects peripheral nerve tissues and NF-2, a rare central form, affects the central nervous system. An unusual finding of oral hamartomas may occur as part of NF-1 and here we presented one such rare case of oral hamartomas in a patient with Von-Recklinghausen's disease
