Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Gingival fibromatosis (GF) is a condition characterized by a progressive, normal colored enlargement of the gingiva caused by an increase in the size of submucosal connective tissue. Both familial and idiopathic variants of the condition exist. The authors present a case report of a 38-year-old African American man who presented with an impressive overgrowth of the maxillary and mandibular gingivae, subsequently diagnosed as idiopathic GF. In this report, the authors will review the etiologies, treatment, and clinical and histological findings of GF, review similar cases found in the literature, and discuss the differential diagnosis for diffuse gingival enlargements.

Infiltrating adenomyosis of the cervix with features of a low-grade stromal sarcoma: a case report and a literature review.

Adenomyosis is a common, non-neoplastic, chronic gynecologic disorder that is detected in 5% to 70% of hysterectomy specimens. It is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, and it occurs mostly in late reproductive age women. Adenomyosis has a propensity to present in the uterine fundus and is rarely seen in the cervix. At present, the most reliable way to diagnose adenomyosis is by pathologic examination of the hysterectomy specimens. Herein, we report a case of infiltrating adenomyosis in the cervix with unusual clinical and pathologic findings.
