RESUMO
Lymphangiomas, or lymphatic malformations (LM), are benign malformations of the lymphatic system characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphatic vessels. It was first described by Virchow in 1854. They occur rarely in the oral cavity and involve the tongue dorsum more often. Though complete surgical excision is the gold standard and most desirable management, certain limitations restrict this approach. Laser therapy, cryotherapy, electrocautery, sclerotherapy, and intralesional injections of steroids and Bevacizumab are other treatment options in such cases. Here, we present three cases of diverse forms of lymphatic malformations treated with two different modalities of treatment.
RESUMO
Psoriatic arthritis is chronic inflammatory arthritis (seronegative) associated with psoriasis. Patients may present with different clinical symptoms as it progresses and involves multiple joints one after the other in an erratic pattern of aggravation and remission. A thorough examination is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy of the disorder since it exhibits similar characteristics as reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. There haven't been many instances of the temporomandibular joint being involved, but records have to be maintained properly to assess its role in psoriatic arthritis. Here, we present three cases of temporomandibular joint disorders associated with psoriatic arthritis.
