RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Conditions that present as a 'swelling' in the oral cavity are relatively common, and patients may seek initial assessment from their general practitioners. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to provide an overview of common causes of a 'swelling' in the oral cavity to help with formulating a differential diagnosis and stratifying the urgency of referral. DISCUSSION: Pathological conditions in the oral cavity (excluding mucosal presentations) may present as a swelling in the submucosa or jaws, symptoms related to teeth and/or gums or an incidental finding on imaging. In this review, the authors outline the most common submucosal or jaw swellings, organised according to their clinical presentations, and describe their typical appearance and management.

Cellular pseudosarcomatous fibroepithelial stromal polyp is an underrecognized lesion described in the lower female genital tract. We here report the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features of a cellular pseudosarcomatous fibroepithelial stromal polyp located in the renal pelvis. A 47-year-old woman was referred with a 4-month history of left flank pain and gross hematuria. Left radical nephrectomy was performed. Gross pathological examination showed irregular pedunculated polypoid masses that had developed from the renal pelvis. Histologically, spindle cells with a patternless appearance were seen. The cells were of different sizes and had discernible cytoplasmic bipolar processes. Atypical stromal cells and atypical mitoses were also found. This case represents a typical cellular pseudosarcomatous fibroepithelial stromal polyp, probably developing from a reactive hyperplastic process involving the subepithelial stroma.
