ABSTRACT
Cistos dermóides e epidermóide, que pertencem a coristomas, geralmente se manifestam clinicamente como formações císticas móveis superficiais e profundas, mais frequentemente com um crescimento lento e intermitente. No presente artigo relatamos um caso de um cisto dermóide angular externo em um menino de 13 anos, o crescimento que estava regular na progressão. A excisão cirúrgica do cisto foi feita por aproximar-se através de uma incisão externa sub testa. Cistos dermóides são neoplasias incomuns que muitas vezes são vistas em crianças, com a mais comumente área afetada sendo a órbita na região da cabeça e pescoço. Tais cistos podem causar compressão para o lobo dos olhos e o nervo óptico. Portanto, podem se sugerir procedimentos operacionais no caso de tais cistos que tem uma progressão constante
Dermoid and epidermoid cysts which belong to choristomas, usually manifest clinically as superficial and deep cystic movable formations, most often with a slow and intermittent growth. In the present article we report a case of an external angular dermoid cyst in a 13-year-old boy, the growth of which was steady on progression. Surgical excision of the cyst was done by approaching through an external sub-brow incision. Dermoid cysts are unusual neoplasms that often seen in children with the most commonly affected site being the orbit in the head and neck region. Such cysts may cause compression to the eye lobe and the optic nerve. Hence, operative procedures may be suggested in the case of such cysts which have a constant progression

Lichen planus is a chronic, noninfectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune disease of the skin and mucous membrane. Intraorally, the buccal mucosa, tongue, and gingiva are the sites commonly involved. It affects women more often than men in a ratio 3:2. It has well-recognized clinical signs and symptoms, the symptoms may range from none, through mild discomfort to a severe burning sensation. The oral lesions are more resistant to therapy and there is less spontaneous remission compared to cutaneous form. Patient education may improve the outcomes of oral lichen planus (OLP) therapy and further reduces the risk of oral cancer. For the accurate diagnosis of the OLP following criteria’s are required: (i) Assessment of causative or exacerbating factors, associated diseases and oral cancer risk; (ii) patient education and management; (iii) histological diagnosis; (iv) medical treatment; and (v) long-term review and re-biopsy as required. Choice of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the lesion and systemic condition of the patient. Treatment is administered mainly to resolve symptoms and discomfort. A variety of agents have been employed for the management of OLP, but corticosteroid remains the mainstay of treatment. Given the fact that for atrophic and erosive forms of OLP bears malignant transformation rate, so the patients need to be actively treated and kept on long-term follow-up. The main objective of this paper is to review the current literature regarding the treatment of OLP.
