Evolving Skin Rash as a Rare Cutaneous Manifestation in a Pediatric Patient With COVID-19 Infection.

COVID-19 has been one of the common infections that have affected numerous children across the world in the last two years. The clinical manifestations of this virus are varied, ranging from being asymptomatic to affecting multiple organ systems. There is a lot of ongoing research to find out the different manifestations that this infection can have in both adults and children. As with any viral illness, skin is one of the most commonly affected organs, and many viral illnesses can present with a rash. In our case, we found it interesting that our patient who tested positive for COVID-19 had a rash that began on the day of her initial presentation and evolved over time as the disease progressed, and hence, we thought it was important to highlight this rare case presentation as a cutaneous finding in children with COVID-19 infection.

Worsening Lower Jaw Swelling and Pain in a Teenager: Differential Diagnosis and Management.

Giant cell granuloma is a rare, benign non-neoplastic, aggressive tumor that originates mainly from the maxilla and mandible. It affects all age groups and is more commonly seen in children. We describe a 17-year-old female that presented to the Pediatrics Emergency room with a history of right lower jaw pain. Examination revealed a bone-like buccal vestibular swelling on the lower right tooth, a bone-like lingual swelling, and a pink gingival overgrowth lesion. The biopsy of the lesion revealed a central giant cell granuloma. Tissue biopsy with histopathological examination is diagnostic and surgical excision is the gold standard of treatment.
