“…In the presented case, the authors first suspected the rare occurrence of a pleomorphic adenoma and, second, an odontogenic-like peripheral ossifying fibroma consisting of mixed fibrous bone with an elastic appearance. MRI with contrast enhancement could improve the diagnosis because of clear visualisation of the margins, borders, and location in the tissues, and some papers confirm this [21]. The adjacency of the tumour to the mandibular body requires CBCT.…”

“…CBCT/MR can improve the value of any diagnostic imaging technique, while clinical examination remains equally important, especially for solid lesions, cystic lesions, tender lesions, movable lesions, ulcerations, or lesions with other possible features. It is worth noticing that some authors recommend a biopsy, and others an excisional biopsy, while some recommend improved diagnostics with MRI; however, only large ONTs with cortical bone infiltrations or erosions should be scheduled for more radical ostectomies, bone resection, or other procedures [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) remains the diagnostic modality of choice. The involvement of the cortical bone and adjacent teeth can be easily established via CBCT. Magnetic resonance can be helpful in the estimation of any other soft-tissue tumour spread within this anatomical area. The soft, hard-tissue, or mixed aetiology of tumours requires a differential diagnosis and accurate evaluation. If such pathologies arise, an adequate biopsy or incisional biopsy is essential to evaluate the type of tumour histopathologically. The occurrence of some neural tumours in the oral cavity is rare. Schwannomas (SCs), like some neuromas and other types of neural tumours, are rare and atypical. During clinical examination, a smooth, sponge-like, elastic mass could indicate other small salivary gland tumours rather than an oral neural tumour. Such pathologies of neural origins are quite rare and are uncommon findings in the oral cavity; therefore, their appearance may be conflated with other more typical benign or malignant tumours in the oral cavity. Establishing the status of bone via CBCT, the tooth involvement and the composition of the cortical bone may be helpful for establishing the best treatment of choice. The presented case report describes a rare schwannoma localised at the mandibular retromolar trigone.

“…Ranula is a clinical diagnosis and the correct diagnosis is essential for the most effective treatment, which is the excision of the sublingual gland. 26 The diagnosis of the ranula is done by fine need aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scan. 27 In FNAC, the aspirated liquid appears to be highly viscous in nature, with salivary content.…”

A ranula is a pseudocystic lesion of the sublingual salivary gland, found in the floor of the mouth. Ranula is classified into types such as simple and plunging type. Plunging ranula arises when a simple ranula extends beyond the floor of the mouth into the neck. A simple ranula is seen above the level of the mylohyoid muscle and is often the result of sublingual gland duct obstruction. A plunging ranula refers to a pseudocyst that develops with salivary duct rupture and is seen below the level of the mylohyoid muscle. Diagnosis of the ranula is difficult even with modern imaging techniques as this mimic to other neck lesions. The correct diagnosis of the ranula is essential for the most effective treatment. The treatment modalities of the ranula currently include marsupialization, excision of the ranula with or without excision of the sublingual gland, cryosurgery, laser excision, sclerotherapy, fenestrations, and continuous pressure. The treatment of the ranula includes complete excision and marsupialization is not a sufficient treatment. Misdiagnosis of a plunging ranula leads to unnecessary and extensive surgery. This review article discussed the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and current treatment of ranula.

Schwannomas are uncommon and benign neurogenic tumors that originate from the nerve sheath of the myelinated nerves. It can be found in any peripheral, cranial or autonomic nerves which contain Schwann cells. It is also called neuroma, nerve sheath tumor and neurilemmoma. Schwannomas in the head and neck region often present as painless swelling. The growth of schwannoma of the pinna causes an aesthetic alteration of the pinna. Schwannoma is a rare tumor of the pinna. The diagnosis of schwannoma is confirmed by histopathological study and immunohistochemistry. Histopathologically, it shows encapsulated, well-circumscribed lesions composed of different cellular patterns and arrangements. Histologically, the hallmark of schwannomas is the pattern of alternating Antoni A and Antoni B areas. The treatment of choice for schwannoma of the pinna is complete surgical excision. Recurrence following complete excision of the schwannoma is rare. Because of their rarity, these tumors are often not included in the differential diagnosis of the mass on the pinna. Preoperative suspicion and awareness are very important for schwannoma of the pinna to avoid delayed diagnosis and treatment. There is not much literature on the schwannoma of the pinna, indicating that this clinical entity is neglected. The objective of this article was to provide a comprehensive review of the schwannoma of the pinna including its epidemiology, etiopathology, clinical presentations, diagnosis and treatment.
