Solitary fibrous tumor of retromolar pad; a rare challenging case

Solitary fibrous tumor has a wide spectrum of histopathologic features and many tumors show similar microscopic features. This similarity poses diagnostic challenges to the pathologists and immunohistochemical analysis is required in many cases. Moreover, it is a rare entity in orofacial region which consequently would make its diagnosis more challenging in oral cavity. The knowledge of various microscopic patterns of this tumor contributes to a proper diagnosis and prevents unnecessary treatment. This study reports a case of solitary fibrous tumor in the retromolar pad area and discusses its various histological features and differential diagnoses

Multifocal primary non- Hodgkin's lymphoma of the oral cavity: report of three cases and review of the literature

Objective: Oral non- Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL] is a relatively rare neoplasm that may develop in the soft tissues or jaw bones, with or without node or marrow involvement. Oral lymphomas are often difficult to diagnose as there are no characteristic clinical features and usually appear as nontender swellings

Case: We describe clinical, radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of three cases of multifocal NHLs presenting in the oral cavity

Conclusion: If the oral lesion is multifocal, extra nodal lymphoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis

Granulocytic sarcoma [chloroma] presenting as multiple sites in oral cavity: report of a case

Granulocytic sarcoma [GS] is an unusual extramedullary tumor, is composed of immature granulocytic precursor cells. The intraoral occurrence of this tumor is extremely rare. Here we report a case of GS with palatal swelling, gingival lesions in maxilla and mandible and aleukemic presentation in a 45 years old male
