“…The subcutaneous/dermal variant is the most common and presents as a subcutaneous and solitary nodule, in which the characteristics agree with the clinical findings presented in this study. 9 As described in this case, the diagnosis of NF is quite difficult and its histopathological characteristics are similar to other tumors of the oral cavity, so the use of imaging exams, contribute in part to know the extent, location and if there is bone involvement of the lesion, which favors the elaboration of the differential diagnosis. In the present case, a chest X-Ray was requested to discard any fracture that could have occurred due to the trauma caused by the bull horn injury and also to see whether the lesion had involved the bone or not.…”

“…5 NF is rare in the head and neck region, with 7 to 20% of cases involving the intra-oral region, 6 including buccal mucosa, 7 buccal floor and tongue. 8 On the face, extraorally, there are reports of NF affecting, ramus of the mandible, 9 masseter muscle and cheek. 10 The first case of dermal NF was described in 1990 by Goodlad and Fletcher.…”

Background: Nodular Fasciitis (NF) is characterized as a benign, fast-growing lesion with proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. The use of immunohistochemistry is important for the diagnostic definition and if its findings are not clear, the differential diagnosis will be challenging, even more when the clinical findings do not correspond with the histopathological characteristics. Objective: Here, we reported a case of dermal Nodular Fasciitis affecting zygomatic region of a 64 years old male who complained of swelling in the right side of the face for 3 months, which appeared after an ox-horn trauma. Literature review: We reviewed the literature for all Nodular Fasciitis cases in the zygomatic region. Furthermore, we discussed the relationship of trauma as an etiological factor, main differential diagnoses and immunohistochemical markers for Nodular Fasciitis. Case report: Incisional biopsy was done which revealed benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin characterized by the fusocellular proliferation. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity for VIM and SMA, being negative for S-100, CKs, CD34, and p53. The Ki-67 index was low. Due to the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, the diagnosis of dermal NF was established. Conclusion: This case consists of Nodular Fasciitis, which must be microscopically differentiated from dermatofibroma, solitary fibrous tumor, low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma and atypical fibroxanthoma. Immunohistochemistry should always be performed to elucidate the nature of tumor cells and thus contribute to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Nodular Fasciitis appears to be uncommon in the zygomatic region.

“…The first issue had authors from Canada, USA, Ghana, and Sweden. [7][8][9][10] During 4.5 years of journal`s growth the total amount of published articles reached 97 peerreviewed publications (Table 1). The strongest was 2018 when totally 31 articles were published in the journal under guidance of 17 members of editorial board (Table 2).…”

Open access article (synonym: open access publication) is a type of peer-reviewed article which gives a possibility to the readers to read and download it free of charge owing to paying an open access publication fee (OAPF) directly by its authors, their institutions, or funders.1 According to Solomon and Björk`s study, who analyzed about 1,370 journals, article processing charges range from 8 to 3,900 US Dollars.1, 2 Moreover, the official Elsevier`s page dedicated to the list of all company`s open access journals indicated that an article processing charge can reach 6,000 US Dollars excluding tax.3 First publishing houses that supported and develop open access journals have been two new academic publishers – BioMed Central (BMC) and Public Library of Science (PLoS).1 In 2000, they began establishing journals that rely on open access publication fee.1 Most motivation criteria for the authors from the fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics in choosing to what peer-reviewed journal submit their paper may be classified under three chief groups: 1) indexing and abstracting in different recognized data bases (PubMed/Medline,4 Scopus, Web of Science, etc.), 2) an impact metric,5 and 3) an amount of the article processing charge. First two motivation criteria are precisely described in recent publications but the last one – open access publication fee and its amount – should be investigated more scrupulously.4, 5 There is a great need to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of OAPF both for authors and editorial staff/publishers. This is the aim of this study in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages the payment methods. For the purpose of comparative analysis we selected two peer-reviewed journals according to the following inclusion criteria: 1. Fully open access publication (hybrid or delayed open access journals were excluded during selection). 2. Similar term of publication history – about 5 years (similar starting point allows comparing the peer-reviewed journals more precisely). 3. Journals focused on oral surgery. 4. Different ways of receiving article processing charges after the submission of manuscripts. 5. English, as language of publications. Analysis was performed on the publishing statistics, abstracting and indexation of the journals as important characteristics of the ways of growth of both peer-reviewed publications.
