“…Various terms have been used in the literature for PG, such as granuloma pyogenicum, eruptive hemangioma, and granuloma gravidarum. The term pyogenic granuloma has also been considered inaccurate and misleading since this lesion is not accompanied by pus nor histologically resembles granuloma [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common reactive oral lesion predominantly involving the gingiva and rarely occurring on the dorsum of the tongue. It can develop at any age but more commonly in the second decade with a female predilection. Numerous factors are associated with its development, and surgical removal is the standard treatment. Various surgical modalities have been used to excise it. Herein, we report a case of a female patient in her late 60s who presented with an exophytic lesion involving the dorsum of the tongue, which was excised using a 940 nm diode laser. In addition, it discusses the advantages of diode laser as a surgical modality and describes this lesion's clinical features and pathogenesis.

“…From a histological point of view, all MRONJ is described as non-vital bone and resorption lacunae, with or without embedded osteoclasts [ 20 ]. When present, osteoclasts can be found in a floating position [ 21 ] with signs of soft tissue inflammation ( Figure 7 , 8 ).…”

Aim. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the clinical, radiological, and histological characteristics of patients diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and treated at the Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery Clinic of the Emergency Clinical County Hospital of Targu Mures between 2017 and 2022. The study aimed to analyze correlations between patient characteristics, particularly their history of bone modifying agent use or local radiotherapy during cancer treatment, in order to identify specific patient profiles that could aid in evaluating treatment response and guide individualized treatment strategies. Methods. Fifty-two patients diagnosed with ONJ were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups based on their medical history: the bone modifying agent use group and the radiotherapy group. Clinical, radiological, and histological data were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis, including p-values, was performed to compare patient characteristics between the two groups. Results. Patients in the radiotherapy group were significantly older than those in the bone modifying agent use group (66 years vs. 56.9 years, p=0.001). There was a higher proportion of males in the radiotherapy group compared to the bone modifying agent use group (90% vs. 22%, p<0.001). Jaw involvement was more prevalent in the radiotherapy group compared to the bone modifying agent use group (95% vs. 66%, p=0.018). Histological analysis showed a similar frequency of Actinomyces species in both groups (50% vs. 34%, p=0.264). Conclusions. The findings of this study suggest the existence of two distinct patient profiles based on their treatment history (bone modifying agent use vs. radiotherapy) in ONJ. Patients in the radiotherapy group were older, predominantly male, and exhibited a higher prevalence of jaw involvement. Histological analysis revealed no significant differences in Actinomyces species frequency between the two groups. These distinct patient profiles may indicate different responses to treatment, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment strategies tailored to specific patient characteristics. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and develop personalized approaches for managing ONJ.

“…Solitary neurofibromas not associated with NF 1 rarely become malignant, but when associated with the NF1 syndrome, they has the potential for malignant transformation. It has been reported that 12% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 will eventually develop malignant nerve sheath tumors from the neurofibromas of the oral cavity [ 13 ]. Solitary diffuse neurofibromas can also have the risk of undergoing malignant change, although the quantification of such risk has not been determined [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is characterized by multiple cutaneous neurofibromas of varying sizes along with skeletal, neurologic, and ophthalmic features. Solitary swellings in neurofibromatosis type 1 are not commonly encountered except in the form of plexiform neurofibromas. We report two cases with neurofibromatosis type 1 presenting with solitary swelling in the ankles which were proven to be the diffuse type of neurofibroma, radiologically and histopathologically. Diffuse type neurofibroma presenting as ankle swelling in type 1 neurofibromatosis has not been reported before.
