Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of spleen with calcifying fibrous pseudotumor: A rare case with unusual association

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a rare benign vascular lesion of the spleen that was first described in 2004. SANT is associated with other concurrent diseases, mostly malignancies. Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFPT) is a tumor-like lesion usually arising from soft tissue or peritoneal sub-serosa. Both SANT and CFPT are considered to be variants of the inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. We report the rare case of a 24-year-old female presenting with a left abdominal mass that was clinically diagnosed as an extraintestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Histopathological examination revealed SANT of spleen and CFPT. We report this case due to its rarity of occurrence and unusual association of SANT with CFPT.

Calcifying odontogenic cyst with AOT-like features: a case report and literature review / Cisto odontogênico calcificante com características adenomatóides: relato de caso e revisão de literatura

Odontogenic lesions are a heterogeneous group of diseases that presents differences in their biological behavior and the occurrence of variable inductive interactions. Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), or Gorlin's cyst, is a well-recognized example of these lesions. We describe a case of COC with AOT-like areas and highlights its morphological diversity. A 60-year-old pheoderma man presented with a large swelling in the anterior buccal region of the mandible. Panoramic radiography revealed a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucent lesion associated with important root resorption. Complete enucleation of the lesion was performed and the histopathological findings met the criteria for the diagnosis of COC, although the cyst exhibited unusual AOT-like features. The patient has been recurrence free for 6 months after surgery. COCs with AOT-like features are rare, and reflect the multipotentiality and complexity of the inductive effects of the odontogenic epithelium with the ectomesenchyme. Enucleation seems to be the most indicated treatment, similar to classical COC (AU)

As lesões odontogênicas são um grupo heterogêneo de patologias que apresentam diferenças no seu comportamento biológico, e ocorrência de interações indutivas variáveis. O cisto odontogênico calcificante (COC), ou cisto de Gorlin, é um exemplo bem conhecido destas lesões. Descrevemos um caso de COC com áreas adenomatóides e destacamos a sua diversidade morfológica. Paciente do sexo masculino, 60 anos de idade, apresentou um aumento de volume na região anterior da mandíbula. A radiografia panorâmica revelou uma lesão bem definida, unilocular e radiolúcida associada a uma reabsorção radicular importante. A enucleação completa da lesão foi realizada e os achados histopatológicos preencheram os critérios para o diagnóstico de COC, embora o cisto exibisse características adenomatóides pouco usuais. O paciente permanece livre de recidivas durante 6 meses após a cirurgia. Os COCs com características adenomatóides são raros, e refletem a multipotencialidade e complexidade dos efeitos indutivos do epitélio odontogênico com o ectomesênquima. A enucleação parece ser o tratamento mais indicado, semelhante ao COC clássico. (AU)

Calcifying Aponeurotic Fibroma in the left pectoral region in an adult: A Case report.

Calcified aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign fibroblastic tumor. The lesion has property of local invasion and high recurrence. Because of this property, tumor should be accurately diagnosed pre-operatively. We report a case of 29 years old male, with a palpable painful mass on the anterior chest wall near left pectoral region, describes radiographic and MR findings. No skin defect was detected but patient feels discomfort. An excision procedure was done. The excised tissue was sent for biopsy and calcified aponeurotic fibroma was diagnosed

Quiste odontogénico calcificante asociado a odontoma complejo en la región posterior del maxilar. Reporte de caso clínico y revisión de la literatura / Calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with complex odontoma in the posterior litera of the maxilla. A case report and review of the literature

El quiste odontogénico calcificante (QOC) es raro y representa <1% de todos los quistes odontogénicos, pertenece a las lesiones conocidas como "tumores de células fantasma", estos son una familia de lesiones que varían en presentación clínica de quiste o neoplasia sólida, en su comportamiento biológico de benigno a localmente agresivo o metastásico, esta diversidad ha generado extenso debate sobre la clasificación, terminología, manejo y pronóstico de estas patologías. Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 17 años de edad con diagnóstico de quiste odontogénico calcificante asociado a odontoma complejo situado en la región posterior del maxilar, en la literatura existen reportados solo 27 casos de QOC en esa zona. Fue tratado mediante enucleación quirúrgica, curetaje, rotación de almohadilla grasa bucal y colocación de malla de titanio para reconstruir la pared anterior del seno maxilar. El control postoperatorio clínico y radiográfico a 12 meses no muestra recidiva de la lesión además exhibe un excelente resultado funcional y estético, esto nos permite concluir que el tratamiento fue adecuado. Realizamos una revisión de la literatura en Science Direct, PubMed y Biblioteca Cochrane, con objeto de informar las características clínicas, histopatológicas, radiográficas y el tratamiento de estas lesiones.

The calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is rare and represents <1% of all odontogenic cysts, it belongs to the lesions known as "ghost cell tumors", these are a family of lesions that vary in clinical presentation of cyst or solid neoplasia, in their behavior biological from benign to locally aggressive or metastatic, this diversity has generated extensive debate on the classification, terminology, management and prognosis of these pathologies. We present the clinical case of a 17-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with a complex odontoma located in the posterior region of the maxilla, in the literature there are only 27 reported cases of (COC) in that area, he was treated by surgical enucleation, curettage, rotation of the buccal fat pad and placement of titanium mesh to reconstruct the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus. The clinical and radiographic postoperative control at 12 months does not show recurrence of the lesion, in addition it exhibits an excellent functional and aesthetic result, this allows us to conclude that the treatment was adequate. We conducted a review of the literature in Science Direct, PubMed and Cochrane, in order to report the clinical, histopathological, radiographic characteristics and the treatment of these lesions.

Pindborg tumor associated with a supernumerary tooth: a case report

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare benign neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. Most of the cases occur in the posterior mandible, and a few involve the maxilla. Despite their relatively indolent biological behavior, tumors in the maxilla tend to grow fast. We report the case of a 33-year-old female patient exhibiting swelling in the right maxilla. An isodense area associated with an impacted supernumerary tooth was found on imaging examination. The histopathologic diagnosis was a calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. The treatment of choice was surgical removal of the lesion and associated dental elements. The patient has been followed up for 11 months and shows no signs of recurrence. Besides describing this case, we reviewed the literature on the association of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors with supernumerary teeth and found two case reports addressing this subject.

Calcifilaxis / Calciphylaxis

La calcifilaxis o arteriolopatía urémica calcificante es una enfermedad rara que conlleva elevada morbilidad y una mortalidad de 40-80%. Se produce por la calcificación de los vasos de pequeño calibre y afecta sobre todo a los pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica. Suele iniciarse con cambios en la coloración de la piel. Luego se produce ulceración, dolor y necrosis cutánea. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 70 años con insuficiencia renal crónica que desarrolló lesiones cutáneas dolorosas en los miembros inferiores.

Calciphylaxis or calcifying uremic arteriolopathy is a rare disease that carries high morbidity and mortality between 40% and 80%. It is produced by calcification of small caliber vessels and mainly affects patients with chronic renal failure. It usually begins with a change in skin color and then ulceration, pain and skin necrosis occur. We present a 70-year-old man with chronic renal failure who developed painful skin lesions on his lower limbs.

Calcifying fibrous tumor of the stomach: report of nine cases and review of literature / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and pathological diagnosis methods of calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) of the stomach.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 9 patients with gastric CFT in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2015 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, immunohistochemistry was used to detect the immunophenotypic characteristics of gastric CFT, and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:Among 9 patients with gastric CFT, 1 case was male and 8 cases were female, with a median age of 53 years old (18-63 years old). There were 7 cases occurred in the body of the stomach, while 2 cases in the fundus. All cases were single solid nodule with the cut surface gray-white or gray-red in colour and hard and tough in texture. Maximum diameter of tumor ranged from 0.6 cm to 1.5 cm. Observation under the microscope showed the spindle-shaped tumor cells were sparsely distributed in a large amount of collagenized stroma with scattered lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltration. Calcification or gravel formation was detected in all cases. The tumor cells in 9 cases expressed Vimentin, 3 cases expressed CD34, none of them expressed PDGFRA, SMA, SMMS-1, Desmin, ALK, DOG-1, CD117, S-100, β-catenin, CKpan and calponin; Ki-67 positive index was 1%-3%.Conclusions:Gastric CFT is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, which is characterized by gastric body with smaller volume. The diagnosis of gastric CFT mainly depends on pathological morphology and immunohistochemical examination. It needs to be differentiated from a variety of spindle cell tumors more commonly found in the stomach.

Exophytic gingival growth of the maxillary canine region in a young individual: Extremely rare case report of peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor

The present case report is a case of peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (PDGCT), an extremely rare solid benign neoplastic variant of calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor of the gingiva mimicking clinically as pyogenic granuloma, fibroma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and peripheral giant-cell granuloma. A 24-year-old male reported with painless, firm, solitary, sessile, smooth-surfaced, nonulcerative, nonpulsatile, well-defined swelling measuring ≈12 mm × 9 mm in the interdental gingiva of the teeth #13 and #14 extending to the mucogingival junction. Intraoral periapical radiographic showed a normal trabecular pattern with mild radiolucency without bony expansion, periapical lesion, and resorption of the adjacent teeth. The diagnosis was established by histopathologic examination. Very few cases of this entity have been documented in the literature. The present case report aims to document this rare entity and emphasizes on the fact that histopathological examination of every localized gingival growth should be included in the treatment planning to differentiate with other commonly found lesions

Calcifying fibrous tumour: a rare case report of an exceptional lesion localized in retroperitoneum, mesentery and pelvis

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor associated with ameloblastoma – A rare histological variant

Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COCs) represent a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibits a variety of clinical, behavioral, and histological features. COC or Gorlin's cyst is now classified by the World Health Organization as a tumor. Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) is an uncommon developmental odontogenic lesion that demonstrates histopathologic diversity. Odontogenic tumors such as ameloblastoma have been reported to be associated with CCOT. In this paper, we report a case of ameloblastomatous CCOT in a 16-year-old girl with involvement of mandibular posterior region, which is an extremely rare histologic variant.

Cisto odontogênico calcificante na maxila posterior: um relato de caso atípico com acompanhamento de dois anos / Calcifying odontogenic cyst in the posterior maxilla: an atypical case report with two-year follow-up

Introdução: o Cisto Odontogênico Calcificante (COC) é um cisto odontogênico raro e indolor, que causa destruição óssea medular e expansão óssea cortical, sendo relatado pela primeira vez por Gorlin, em 1962. Objetivo: neste artigo relatamos um caso de COC na região mais rara de sua aparição, que é a região posterior da maxila em um jovem de apenas 15 anos. Relato de Caso: o paciente foi internado com um inchaço extra-oral, que cresceu lentamente durante os 8 meses anteriores; na cavidade bucal, também foi observado edema na região dos dentes 26, 27 e 28 e também acentuada mobilidade; radiograficamente, havia área radiolúcida unilocular com algumas áreas radiopacas (como uma casca alaranjada). Os achados histológicos observados incluem proliferação de células fantasmas e células basais colunares, semelhantes a ameloblastos e células com camadas superficiais frouxas. Conclusão: o paciente foi submetido à enucleação com curetagem de cisto como tratamento; devido a altas taxas de recorrência, o paciente teve um acompanhamento a cada três meses por um período de 2 anos, sem sinais de recidiva.

Introduction: Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC) is an uncommon and painless odontogenic cyst, that causes bone marrow destruction and cortical bone expansion. It was first reported by Gorlin, in 1962. Objective: in this article, we report a case of COC in the rarest region of its appearance, which is the posterior region of the maxilla in a young man who is only 15 years old. Case Report: the patient was admitted with an extraoral swelling that grew slowly during the previous 8 months; in the oral cavity, edema was also observed in the region of the teeth 26, 27 and 28, and also marked mobility; radiographically, there was unilocular radiolucent area with some radiopaque areas (like an orange skin). The histological findings observed include proliferation of phantom cells, and columnar basal cells, similar to Ameloblasts and cells with loose superficial layers. Conclusion: the patient underwent enucleation with cyst curettage as a treatment; due to high rates of recurrence the patient had a follow up every three months for a period of 2 years without signs of relapse.

Quiste odontogénico calcificante de amplia dimensión: Reporte de caso con 8 meses de acompañamiento / Large calcifying odontogenic cyst: Case report with 8 months of follow-up / Cisto odontogênico calcificante de ampla dimensão: relato de caso com 8 meses de seguimento

El Quiste Odontogénico Calcificante (QOC) es una patología poco común que afecta en iguales proporciones a ambos se-xos, sin clara predilección por maxilar o mandíbula, es frecuentemente visto en asociación con dientes incluidos, así como otras patologías con las que puede compartir ciertas características especialmente radiológicas. El presente caso trata del manejo de un paciente masculino de 16 años de edad atendido en la clínica de cirugía oral y maxilofacial de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, asintomático, con una lesión en mandíbula de importantes dimensiones, radiográficamente presentó una lesión radiolúcida de aproximadamente 4 cm, bordes definidos, abarca desde distal del 2do molar hasta el án-gulo y parte de la rama mandibular del lado izquierdo. Requirió un abordaje amplio que permita el tratamiento de la lesión y la prevención de una fractura asociada, así como un tratamiento que permita cubrir la posibilidad de una probable lesión tipo ameloblastoma más agresiva que el diagnóstico histopatológico no descartaba por completo. El paciente a 8 meses de seguimiento ha presentado una favorable evolución sin datos clínicos o radiográficos de recidiva, con adecuada función y estética.

Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC) is a rare pathology that affects both sexes in equal proportions, without clear prefer-ence for maxilla or mandible. It is frequently seen in association with teeth included, as well as shares certain particularly radiological features with other diseases. The present case deals with the management of a 16-year-old male patient treated at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico, asymptomatic, with a jaw in-jury of important dimensions, radiographically presented a radiolucent lesion of approximately 4 cm, defined edges, covers from distal of the 2nd molar to the angle and part of the mandibular branch on the left side. It required a wide approach that allows the treatment of the lesion while simultaneously preventing an associated pathologic fracture. The treatment should also cover the possibility of a more aggressive ameloblastoma type lesion than the histopathological diagnosis did not rule out completely. The patient at 8 months of follow-up had a favorable evolution without clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence, with adequate function and aesthetics.

O Cisto Odontogênico Calcificante (COC) é uma patologia rara que afeta em proporções iguais para ambos os sexos, sem clara preferência para a maxila ou mandíbula é muitas vezes visto em associação com dentes incluídos, e outras patologias que podem compartilhar certas características especialmente radiológicas. O presente relato de caso diz é ao respeito à gestão de um paciente homem de 16 anos de idade tratado na clínica de cirurgia oral e maxilo-facial da Universidade Au-tônoma do México, assintomático, com uma lesão na mandíbula de dimensões importantes, radiografia mostrou uma lesão radiolúcida de aproximadamente 4 cm, bordas definidas, afetando desde o distal do 2º molar até o ângulo e parte do ramo mandibular do lado esquerdo. Foi necessária uma ampla abordagem que permita o tratamento da lesão e prevenção de uma fratura associada, além disso um tratamento que irá abranger a possibilidade de lesão provavelmente tipo ameloblastoma mais agressivo que o diagnóstico histopatológico não descartou completamente. O paciente aos 8 meses de seguimento teve uma evolução favorável sem dados clínicos ou radiográficos de recorrência, com função e estética adequadas.

Tumor infrecuente de los maxilares, tumor de Pindborg: presentación de un caso clínico / Infrequent tumor of the jaws, Pindborg tumor: report of a clinical case

El tumor odontogénico epitelial calcificante o tumor de Pindborg es una neoplasia odontogénica benigna y poco frecuente que afecta predominantemente la mandíbula. El objetivo de este trabajo fue reportar y discutir un caso clínico de una mujer de 65 años de edad que presentaba un tumor de Pindborg en la zona de sínfisis mentoniana. El diagnóstico presuntivo se realizó según los hallazgos clínicos y radiográficos. Se efectuó una biopsia incisional que confirmó el diagnóstico. El tratamiento se basó en la resección completa de la masa tumoral con legrado óseo quirúrgico periférico. Para la prevención de la fractura patológica, se colocó una placa de reconstrucción y relleno óseo en la lodge posquirúrgica. A pesar del porcentaje de recidiva en casos reportados en la literatura, el tratamiento fue conservador y el control a distancia después de 6 años fue favorable (AU)

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) or Pindborg tumor, is a rare benign but locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that affects the jaw. We report and discuss a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented a Pindborg tumor located in the mandibular symphysis region. The presumptive diagnosis was carried out by means of clinical and radiologic findings. The diagnosis was confirmed by the histological examination. Then, a resection of the entire mass was done, with osseous curettage. Reconstruction was achieved using a reconstruction plate system and bone void filler. Because of the risk of recurrence, the patient was followed closely. At the last follow-up examination 6 years after treatment the panoramic radiograph demonstrated that the cavity was almost completely ossified without any sign of CEOT recurrence (AU)

Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst of Mandible: A Case Report

The term calcifying odontogenic cyst was first introduced by Gorlin in 1962. It represents 2% of all odontogenic pathological changes in the jaw. The calcifying odontogenic cyst usually arises intraosseously, but it may also occur extraosseously, with about equal frequency in the mandible and maxilla (1:1). The age of the patients may range from 5 to 92 years, with peak incidence in the second and sixth decade of life. Radiographically, the lesion appears as a unilocular or multilocular well-defined radiolucency that may contain small irregular calcified bodies of varying sizes, and it may be associated with an odontome or an unerupted tooth. We present a case report of 17year-old female with Calcifying odontogenic cyst involving right body and angle of mandible.
