Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Lower Lip: a Case Report

Karcinom acinusnih stanica rijetka je bolest – to je tumor žlijezda slinovnica niskog stupnja malignosti. Najčešće se nalazi u velikim žlijezdama slinovnicama, gotovo uvijek u parotidnoj žlijezdi, a rijetko u malim žlijezdama slinovnicama. U ovom opisu predstavljamo slučaj muškarca u dobi od 64 godine s perzistentnom dvogodišnjom oteklinom u sluznici donje usnice u ravnini očnjaka. Lezija je bila bezbolna, meke teksture, nalikovala je na mukokelu, bila je veličine 1x1,5 cm te pokrivena sluznicom normalne boje. Kirurški je uklonjena te je histopatološki potvrđen karcinom acinusnih stanica.Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare, low grade malignant tumor of the salivary glands. Most frequently it originates from major salivary glands almost exclusively in parotid gland and rarely from minor salivary glands. In this report we present a case of 64-year-old man with a persistent swelling within the mucosa of the lower lip at the line of the canine tooth for two years. The lesion was painless, soft in texture, mimicked a mucocel and had the dimensions of 1x1.5 cm with an overlying mucosa normal in color. Surgical excision of the lesion is performed and histopathological confirmation revealed acinic cell carcinoma

Surgical Management of Overfilling of a Root Canal Filling Material: a Case Report

U radu je predstavljeno kirurško liječenje u slučaju kad su bol i oteklina bili uzrok izlaska materijala za punjenje korijenskog kanala u veliku periapikalnu leziju između lateralnog sjekutića i očnjaka lijeve maksile. Oteklina je bila bolna na dodir. Lezija i materijal kirurški su uklonjeni. Da je sve potpuno zacijelilo, zaključeno je radiološki na postoperativnom pregledu godinu dana nakon zahvata. Kirurška intervencija velikih periapikalnih lezija indicirana je ako se nehotice dogodi da izađu velike količine materijala za punjenje korijenskih kanala, kako bi se omogućilo cijeljenje periradikularnog tkiva.The surgical treatment of a case presenting pain and swelling due to the extrusion of the root canal filling into a large periapical lesion between left maxillary lateral and canine teeth is presented in this report. The swelling was painful on palpation. Removal of the lesion and the material was made surgically. Complete healing was observed at the postoperative first year radiographically. Surgical intervention of large periapical lesions is indicated in cases in which the extrusion of large amount of root canal filling material occurred inadvertently to provide healing of the periradicular tissues
