Angiolipoma is one of the rare variant of lipoma. This benign tumour consists of both fatty and vascular elements. It mostly occur in the trunk and extremities and is uncommon in head and neck region. Angiolipoma is classified as infiltrating and non- infiltrating types. Among all neoplasms of the oral cavity, lipomas account for 1 to 5% and the incidence of angiolipoma is 5 to 17% in it. There is no sex predilection for this tumour. It is classified as infiltrative and non-infiltrative type. Surgical excision is the method to be considered for both the types of angiolipoma, however the infiltrating type recurs post-surgery. We report a rare case report of 55-year-old female with non-infiltrating angiolipoma of the hard palate mimicking a mucocele treated by surgical excision with no signs of recurrence and good wound healing after three months follow up with minimal scar formation.

INTRODUCTIONFractures of the proximal humerus represent approximately 4% of all fractures and 26% of humerus fractures.1 These are the second most common upperextremity fracture and the third most common fracture, after hip and distal radial fractures. The fractures can occur at any age, but the incidence rapidly increases with age. The risk factors for proximal humeral fractures are primarily associated with low bone mineral density and an increased risk of falls. The most common mechanism of injury in proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients is a fall from standing height onto an outstretched upper extremity. In patients aged less than 50 years, the mechanism is often related to high-energy trauma, such as significant falls from height, motor vehicle accidents, or athletic injuries.The injury is of great importance when it affects the young and middle age groups of the population. It leads to temporary disability and loss of working hours. ABSTRACT Background:Fractures of the proximal humerus are the second most common upper extremity fracture and the third most common fracture, after hip and distal radial fractures. The fractures can occur at any age, but the incidence rapidly increases with age. Methods: The study was conducted in patients treated for displaced proximal humerus fracture at Adichunchanagiri Institute Of Medical Sciences, BG Nagar from the month of June 2014 to August 2016. Twenty proximal humerus fracture patients were taken into the study; all were fixed with PHILOS plate. Patients' age ranged from 18 to 75 years with a mean of 42.9. Results: The sample consisted of twenty patients of proximal humeral fractures. 08 were males and 12 females. The patients' ages ranged from 18-75 years with a mean age of 42.9 years. The causes of fractures were road traffic accident in 13 patients, fall in 06 patients and electric shock in 1 patient. 11 fractures involved the right side and 09 involved the left. Patients were followed up from 03 weeks to 06 months. Functional outcome was rated as per Constant-Murley Shoulder Score, we got excellent results in 04 cases, satisfactory in 10, unsatisfactory in 05 xi and failure in 01 patient. Mean Constant-Murley score of this study at the end of the final follow-up period was 81.6. Conclusions: The PHILOS plate is a good implant to use for fractures of the proximal humerus. However, proper placement of the plate and fixation are required to produce satisfactory results. We recommend use of this implant in Neer 2-part, 3-part, 4-part fractures with or without dislocation and osteoporotic fractures.

Objective:The aim was to evaluate and plan the canine dento alveolar distractions (DADs) with the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and Methods:5 patients are requiring 10 canine DADs were selected for the study. A custom-made DAD distractor was fabricated for the study. CBCT scans were taken prior to and post thedistraction. DAD parameters such as Canine retraction, canine and molar rotation, molar anchor loss and level of the osteotomy cut above the canine was evaluated.Results:Average canine retraction was 7.5 mm in 17 days, molar anchor loss was 0.5 mm, canine and molar rotations were 8° and 0.40° and thedistance of the osteotomy cut to the canine was1.93 mm.Conclusion:The CBCT can be used to accurately evaluate the canine DADtechnique.
