RESUMEN
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicodemographic characteristics and treatment protocol as prognostic factors in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) of the hard palate, upper gingiva, and alveolar ridge (HPUGAR). This retrospective cohort study collected data of patients treated in two head and neck surgery departments in southern Brazil between 1999 and 2021. Information on clinicodemographic data, habits, site, size, clinical aspect, clinical staging, cervical metastasis, treatment, and survival was collected. Associations between independent variables and outcomes were assessed using Pearson's chi-square test and binary regression. Kaplan-Meier test was employed to compare the survival between the neck approaches. Forty-one patients were included; most were male (61%), with a mean age of 68.8 (± 13.9) years. The consumption of tobacco (p = 0.003) and alcohol (p = 0.02) was significantly higher in male than in female patients. The main clinical features observed in the study sample were lesions larger than 2 cm (48.7%), no cervical (90.2%), or distant metastasis (90.2%). Surgery alone was the main treatment approach (48.8%). The watch-and-wait strategy was adopted in 34 cases (83.0%), while elective neck dissection was applied in five (12.2%). Only two patients with cN0 disease (4.9%) presented with cervical metastasis at follow-up. Eight patients (12.2%) died of the disease. Clinicodemographic variables, habits, surgical margins, and histological subtype were not significantly associated with cervical metastasis or survival. Cervical metastasis (p = 0.004) was associated with poor survival. No difference was detected in survival between different neck approaches (p = 0.28). Cervical metastasis and local recurrence are negative prognostic factors for HPUGAR OSCC.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Although uncommon, mature small B-cell lymphomas may arise in the oral/maxillofacial area and oral pathologists must be aware of the key characteristics of these neoplasms to perform an accurate diagnosis. In this manuscript, we attempted to integrate the currently available data on the clinicopathological features of follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-L), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) affecting these anatomical regions. METHODS: An updated descriptive literature review was carried out and a detailed electronic search was done in multiple databases to gather all cases affecting the oral/maxillofacial region and palatine tonsils. RESULTS: We observed that MALT-L was the most frequently reported subtype, followed by FL, MCL, and CLL/SLL. The palate was affected in a high proportion of cases and the most usual clinical presentation was an asymptomatic swelling. MALT-L and CLL/SLL neoplastic cells were strongly associated with small salivary glands. FL showed no gender preference, while MCL and CLL/SLL were more prevalent in males and MALT-L in females. Overall, cases were more common in elderly individuals. Patients' treatment and outcome varied, with MCL being the most aggressive neoplasm with a dismal prognosis in comparison to FL and MALT-L. CONCLUSION: Despite the poor documentation in many of the cases available, especially regarding the microscopic and molecular features of tumors, this review demonstrated that the oral mature small B-cell lymphomas investigated share similar clinical presentation, but carry different prognostic significance, demanding an accurate diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial mature T/NK-cell neoplasms is challenging because of their rarity, morphological heterogeneity and complex immunophenotype with scarce available data describing their clinical and microscopic aspects. Therefore, in this study, we investigated a series of mature T/NK-cell neoplasms affecting this anatomical region and provided an updated literature review. METHODS: Cases diagnosed as mature T/NK-cell lymphomas affecting the oral and maxillofacial region were retrospectively retrieved from six pathology files and their diagnoses were confirmed using haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, immunohistochemical reactions and in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) detection. Patients' clinical data were collected from their pathology forms. RESULTS: A total of 22 cases were included in this study. Eleven (50%) consisted of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas, nasal type; eight (36.4%) were peripheral T-cell lymphomas, NOS; two (9.1%) were adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphomas, and one (4.5%) was an ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Overall, males predominated, with a mean age of 55.7 years. The palate was the most affected site (50%), and tumours usually presented as destructive and painful ulcers. EBV was present in all cases of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type but was absent in the other subtypes. CONCLUSION: Among mature T/NK-cell lymphomas of the oral and maxillofacial region, extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS predominated. Older men were the most affected patients, and this heterogeneous group of neoplasms has a very aggressive clinical behaviour.

BACKGROUND: Lymphomas in the oral and oropharyngeal regions are relatively uncommon, and their diagnosis is challenging and complex due to the myriad histopathological subtypes. Herein, we report a large series of oral and oropharyngeal lymphomas and compare our data with the currently available literature. METHODS: All cases diagnosed as lymphomas affecting the oral and oropharyngeal regions were retrospectively retrieved from seven Brazilian institutions. Clinicodemographic data and histopathological features were evaluated and described, while a comprehensive literature review was undertaken in order to compare our findings. RESULTS: A total of 304 cases of oral and oropharyngeal lymphomas were obtained, mostly affecting individuals aged 60-69 years (n = 68) with a mean age at diagnosis of 54.2 ± 20.1 years. Males and females were equally affected. Mature B-cell neoplasms (87.2%) were the most common group, followed by mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms (11.2%) and precursor lymphoid neoplasms (1.6%). The most frequent subtypes in each group were diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified (n = 99), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas, nasal type (n = 12), and B-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphomas, not otherwise specified (n = 4). The most commonly involved sites were the palate (26.3%), mandible (13%), and maxilla (10.5%). CONCLUSION: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, remains the most common subtype of lymphomas in the oral and oropharyngeal region. Older patients are the most affected, with no gender predilection and the palate and jaw are usually affected.

Introdução: as lesões odontogênicas (LOs) compreendem um grupo heterogêneo de patologias orais e maxilofaciais que apresentam características distintas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar as características clínico--patológicas das LOs diagnosticadas em um hospital da região sul do Brasil. Materiais e métodos: foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo para levantamento dos casos com diagnóstico histopatológico de LOs no período entre 2007 e 2017. Os laudos dos pacientes foram avaliados para extração das características clínico-patológicas e dos diagnósticos histopatológicos de cada caso. Resultados: um total de 255 casos de LOs foram identificados. Destes casos, 197 (77%) cistos odontogênicos e 58 (23%) tumores odontogênicos foram coletados, sendo que somente um caso (0,39%) possuiu o diagnóstico de neoplasia odonto-gênica maligna. Os diagnósticos mais prevalentes foram cisto radicular (32,5%) e cisto dentígero (31,76%), seguidos de ceratocisto odontogênico (10,98%), odontoma (10%) e ameloblastoma (10%). A maioria dos casos acometeu mandíbula (53,7%), com uma discreta predileção pelo sexo feminino (51%). A média de idade foi de 34±20,53 anos. Discussão: os dados apresentados corroboram com a literatura no que se refere à raridade do diagnóstico de tumores odontogênicos. Conclusão: o presente estudo demonstrou as principais características clínico-pato-lógicas de LOs diagnosticadas em um hospital no sul do Brasil, contribuindo para um maior conhecimento do perfil destas lesões.
Introduction: odontogenic lesions (OLs) represent a heterogeneous group of oral and maxillofacial patho-logies presenting distinct characteristics. The present study aimed to identify the clinical and pathological characteristics of OLs diagnosed in a southern Brazilian hospital. Materials and methods: a retrospective study was performed to evaluate cases with histopathological diagnosis of OLs identified in the period between 2007 and 2017. The patient's medical records were evaluated in order to obtain the clinical and pathological charac-teristics and the histopathological diagnosis from each case. Results: a total of 255 cases of OLs were identified. From these, 197 (77%) odontogenic cysts and 58 (23%) odontogenic tumors were surveyed, with only one case (0,39%) of a malignant odontogenic neoplasm. The most prevalent diagnosis were radicular cyst (32.5%) and den-tigerous cyst (31.76%), followed by odontogenic keratocyst (10.98%), odontoma (10%) and ameloblastoma (10%). The majority of the cases affected the mandible (53.7%) with a slight preference by female individuals (51%). The mean age was 34±20.53 years old. Discussion: the presented data are in accordance with the literature regarding the rarity of the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors.Conclusion: the present study demonstrated the main clinical and pathological characteristics of OLs diagnosed in a southern Brazilian hospital, contrib-uting to a better understanding of these injuries profiles.

Background: Salivary gland cancers (SGC) represent an uncommon group of heterogeneous tumors. We per-formed a retrospective survey of SGC diagnosed in a reference center for treatment of malignant tumors from thesouth of Brazil aiming to determine the prognostic value of demographic, clinic and pathologic features.Material and Methods: Cases diagnosed as SGC between 2006 and 2016 were retrospectively collected. Medicalrecords were examined to extract demographic, clinic, pathologic and follow-up information.Results: One-hundred and seven cases of SGC were identified. The most common SGC were mucoepidermoidcarcinoma (MEC) (n = 39) followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) (n = 29). Among AdCCs, 55.2% of caseswere classified as cribriform, 27.6% as tubular and 17.2% as solid. The tubular subtype had the highest percentageof cases with perineural invasion (p=0.01). Among MEC, 61.5% of cases were classified as low grade, 15.4% asintermediate grade and 19.9% as high grade. Low grade MEC had the lowest percentage of cases with perineuralinvasion (p=0.04). The 5-year survival for loco-regional control, disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specificsurvival were 75%, 70% and 84%, respectively. The following features were associated with poor DFS: advanced age (p=0.03), rural residency (p=0.01), being a smoker or former smoker (p=0.01), pain (p=0.03), nodal metastasis(p<0.001), need for chemotherapy (p=0.02), neck dissection (p=0.04), perineural invasion (p=0.01), and being diag-nosed with AdCC compared to MEC (p=0.02).Conclusions: The clinco-demographic and pathologic features identified as prognostic factors reveal the profile ofpatients at increased risk of recurrence and who would benefit from closer follow-up.(AU)

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: An ongoing discussion is found in medical literature about the reasons for changes in thyroid carcinoma incidence patterns over the last decades. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of thyroid carcinoma cases over a decade. METHODS: Cross-sectional study over an historical cohort. Medical records of 628 thyroid cancer cases in a single center were reviewed. 597 patients were included. Microcarcinoma cases were selected for a qualitative analysis phase, in which medical records were reviewed for better understanding of thyroid nodule and thyroid cancer diagnosis process. RESULTS: An increase in the proportion of cases with thyroid cancer diagnosis was observed throughout the decade; new cases were predominantly tumors of less than 2 cm, with histopathological signs of low aggressiveness. There was an increase in proportion of cases with malignant cytological results among microcarcinomas. CONCLUSION: There is a trend for increase in thyroidectomies due to cancer in this institution, with proportional increment of cases with histopathological characteristics indicative of early disease. Among microcarcinomas, there is an increasing group represented by cancer cases that were not incidentally diagnosed, related to an enhancement in preoperative diagnostic methods.

INTRODUCTION: Papillary carcinoma is the most common malignant thyroid neoplasm. The effect of the concurrent presence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and clinicopathological parameters in thyroid papillary carcinoma cases, based on an historical institutional cohort analysis. METHODS: Cross-sectional study obtained from a historical cohort, including all cases submitted to thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma in a single institution during an 11-year period study. RESULTS: A total of 417 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma were enrolled; 148 (35.4%) also had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A female predominance among cases associated to Hashimoto's thyroiditis was observed. The thyroid tumor, in cases associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, had a smaller mean diameter, lower frequency of extra-thyroid extension, and earlier clinicopathological staging. CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion of papillary thyroid carcinoma cases are associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. There are associations among these cases with several histopathological factors already recognized for their prognostic value, which by themselves could impact outcomes. .
INTRODUÇÃO: O carcinoma papilífero é a neoplasia maligna mais comum da tireóide. O efeito da coexistência da tireoidite de Hashimoto (TH) no prognóstico do carcinoma papilífero da tireóide (CPT) permanece controverso. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre TH e parâmetros clínico-patológicos entre pacientes com diagnóstico de carcinoma papilífero da tireóide obtidos através da análise de uma série histórica institucional. MÉTODO: Coorte transversal com base em uma coorte histórica, envolvendo todos os casos submetidos à tireoidectomia total por motivo de carcinoma papilífero, realizadas na mesma Instituição ao longo de 11 anos. RESULTADOS: Um total de 417 pacientes foram incluídos no estudo, estando 148 (35,4%) associados à TH. Observamos preponderância de mulheres entre os casos associados à TH. Esses casos se apresentaram com menor média de diâmetro tumoral, menor frequência de comprometimento extra-tireoidiano e estadiamento clínico-patológico mais precoce. Conclusões: Um percentual expressivo de casos de CPT apresenta-se associado à TH. A associa ção entre esses casos com vários fatores histopatológicos já reconhecidos por seu valor prognóstico, pode, por si só, influenciar no desfecho desses pacientes. .

Identifying risk factors for neck lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is important for patient prognosis establishment. We conducted a retrospective study among 317 patients with solitary PTC. Factors associated with clinically evident LNM were evaluated. LNM were identified in 69 (21.7%) patients. Central compartment (17.3%) and lateral compartment (9.4%) were involved. Thyroid capsule invasion and extrathyroidal extension were found to be independent risk factors for both central and lateral compartment metastasis in multivariate analysis. Larger diameter was associated with central compartment metastasis in logistic regression model, whereas male gender only with lateral compartment metastasis. As closer tumors were positioned in relation to glandular capsule we expected rising rates of nodal spread. It was unlikely to find clinically evident neck LNM among patients with centrally located tumors.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor seldom involves the larynx, as only about 50 to 60 cases have been described in the literature. Even though these tumors are often not aggressive, they have the potential for invasion and local recurrence. We describe the case of a 27-year-old man who was admitted to an emergency department with signs of upper airway obstruction secondary to an obstructive mass. Histology identified the mass as an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the subglottis. The patient underwent an emergency tracheotomy followed by a partial laryngectomy. During 14 months of follow-up, he remained free of active disease.

Nondiphtherial corynebacteria are ubiquitous in nature and commonly colonize the skin and mucous membranes of humans, however they rarely account for clinical infection. We present the first reported case of multiple pulmonary nodules caused by Corynebacterium striatum. The infection occurred in a 72-year-old immunocompetent female, and the diagnosis was obtained by Gram's stain and culture of lung biopsy. C. striatum should be recognized as a potential pathogen in both immunocompromised and normal hosts in the appropriate circumstances.

Bacilos não diftéricos são ubiquitários na natureza e comumente colonizam a pele e as membranas mucosas humanas, contudo eles raramente acarretam doença clínica. Apresentamos o primeiro relato de múltiplos nódulos causados por Corynebacterium striatum. A infecção ocorreu numa mulher imunocompetente de 72 anos de idade e o diagnóstico foi obtido pela coloração de Gram e cultivo de biópsia pulmonar. C. striatum deve ser reconhecido como potencial patógeno tanto em pacientes imunodeprimidos como em hospedeiros normais, em circunstâncias apropriadas.

O carcinoma papilífero é a malignidade tireoidiana mais comum. Muitas variantes desse tumor foram descritas, com diferentes características morfológicas e moleculares. Embora a maioria dos casos apresente um excelente prognóstico, a relação entre a arquitetura tumoral e o comportamento biológico dessas neoplasias ainda permanece controversa. OBJETIVO: Apresentamos a experiência de um único serviço acerca da prevalência das variantes do carcinoma papilífero da tireoide e sua relação com os demais fatores prognósticos histopatológicos. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo envolvendo todos os casos submetidos à tireoidectomia por carcinoma papilífero na mesma Instituição ao longo de 11 anos de estudo. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 517 pacientes, sendo 81,9% dos casos representados mulheres. A média de idade foi de 47,2 anos. As variantes reconhecidas por terem maior potencial de agressividade corresponderam a 5,6% da amostra. Observamos associação desses subtipos tumorais com maior diâmetro da lesão, estadiamento T, invasão linfovascular e da cápsula da glândula. CONCLUSÃO: Um pequeno percentual de casos de carcinomas papilíferos é representado por variantes reconhecidas por seu maior potencial de agressividade. Existem associações entre essas variantes e diversos outros fatores histopatológicos já reconhecidos por seu valor prognóstico, o que pode, por si, só influenciar no desfecho desses casos. .
Papillary carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy. Many variants of this tumor have been described, with different morphological and molecular characteristics. Although most cases have excellent prognosis, the relationship between tumor architecture and its biological behavior remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To present the experience of a single center on the prevalence of thyroid papillary carcinoma variants and their relationship with other histopathological prognostic factors. METHOD: Retrospective study of all the cases submitted to thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma in the same institution over 11 years. RESULTS: We included 517 patients, 81.9% of them were women. The average age was 47.2 years. The variants recognized to have higher aggressiveness potential corresponded to 5.6% of the sample. We found an association of tumor subtypes with greater lesion diameter, T staging, lymphovascular and gland capsule invasion. CONCLUSION: A small percentage of papillary carcinoma cases is represented by variants recognized by their greater potential for aggression. There are associations between these variants and several other histopathological factors already recognized for their prognostic value, which may, by themselves, influence the outcome of these cases. .

Introdução: A associação entre tireoidite de Hashimoto (TH) ecarcinoma bem diferenciado da tireoide (CDT) tem sido discutidana literatura desde 1955, quando Dailey at al. demonstroupossível relação entre as duas doenças. Os tumores malignosda glândula tireoide representam mais de 90% dos cânceresendócrinos e possuem poucos fatores de risco bem definidos. ATH é a principal causa de hipotireoidismo em regiões que nãoapresentam deficiência de iodo. Esse distúrbio apresenta relaçãocom linfoma primário da tireoide e pode determinar alteraçõesmoleculares que também estão presentes em graus variáveis nocarcinoma de tireoide. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivoavaliar a associação entre Tireoidite de Hashimoto e as diferentesformas de apresentação do carcinoma bem diferenciado datireoide. Método: Desenvolveu-se um estudo com 370 pacientessubmetidos à tireoidectomia total para carcinoma bem diferenciadoda tireoide entre 2000 e 2008. Foram analisadas diferentes formasde apresentação do carcinoma bem diferenciado e sua relaçãocom a presença ou ausência de tireoidite de Hashimoto, baseadonos exames anatomopatológicos. Resultados: O estudo mostrouuma associação entre a TH e o carcinoma papilífero clássico de31,6%, com microcarcinomas essa relação foi de 52,8% e coma variante multicêntrica chegou a 70,3% (p < 0,0001 - teste quiquadrado).O carcinoma folicular está associado com a ausênciade tireoidite de Hashimoto (p=0,003 - teste exato de Fisher).Conclusão: A associação entre as duas doenças mostrou maiorforça na variante multicêntrica do carcinoma papilífero, sugerindouma relação, não apenas casual, mas de causa e efeito entre adoença de Hashimoto e o desenvolvimento do carcinoma bemdiferenciado da tireoide.
RESUMEN
UNLABELLED: Papillary carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy. Many variants of this tumor have been described, with different morphological and molecular characteristics. Although most cases have excellent prognosis, the relationship between tumor architecture and its biological behavior remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To present the experience of a single center on the prevalence of thyroid papillary carcinoma variants and their relationship with other histopathological prognostic factors. METHOD: Retrospective study of all the cases submitted to thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma in the same institution over 11 years. RESULTS: We included 517 patients, 81.9% of them were women. The average age was 47.2 years. The variants recognized to have higher aggressiveness potential corresponded to 5.6% of the sample. We found an association of tumor subtypes with greater lesion diameter, T staging, lymphovascular and gland capsule invasion. CONCLUSION: A small percentage of papillary carcinoma cases is represented by variants recognized by their greater potential for aggression. There are associations between these variants and several other histopathological factors already recognized for their prognostic value, which may, by themselves, influence the outcome of these cases.
