Intraosseous lipomas are benign lesions of the bone. In the jaws, they are very rare and in most cases incidentally discovered on panoramic radiographs taken in dental practice. They are usually asymptomatic and appear radiologically as a radiolucent image sometimes including some radio-opacities. Histologically, they consist of mature adipose tissue associated with variable degrees of necrotic fat and calcification. In this report, we describe a case of intraosseous lipoma in the mandibular symphysis region of a 37-year-old female as well as the treatment adopted.

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is an uncommon neuro-mucocutaneous disease, clinically characterized by a triad of recurrent facial palsy, orofacial swelling, and fissured tongue. This report presents the case of a 38-year-old female diagnosed with MRS based on its three clinical features. A corticosteroid (1 mg/kg/day of oral prednisolone) was prescribed for a week, and then tapered off over two weeks by gradually lowering the dose. Regular annual long-term follow-ups were requested to monitor the disease activity.

Sialolithiasis is a common condition characterized by the formation of salivary stones or calculi, also known as sialoliths, within a salivary gland or its duct. Usually, sialolithiasis presents as salivary gland swelling with intermittent pain around mealtime. All salivary glands can develop sialolithiasis, yet it occurs most commonly in the submandibular gland. In this report, we describe an unusual large sialolith measuring 1.7 cm and uncommonly resembling a canine tooth. The sialolith was removed surgically via intraoral approach, and the salivary secretion was restored.
