“…Rarely, a lipoma may infiltrate the adjacent muscle and is called an infiltrating lipoma, which may be of two types; the common intermuscular variety and the rarer intramuscular form. Infiltrating lipomas have a high rate of recurrence 6 9. Lipomas are more common in males in the age group of 40–60 years.…”

Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin, representing one of the most common tumours of the body. They are often observed between the fourth and the sixth decade of life and in 13% of the cases they occur in the head and neck region. In case of symptoms, surgical removal is the treatment of choice; when the formation involves the temporal region, the surgical approach is often challenging due to the presence of the neurovascular structures, such as the temporalis branch of the facial nerve and their potential extension to the nearby structures under the zygomatic arch to either the infratemporal fossa or the buccal region. Recurrence can occur frequently only if there is incomplete removal of lipoma. In this paper, the authors discuss surgical pitfalls of a very rare case of a large-sized symptomatic lipoma extended to the infratemporal and pterygomaxillary fossa, surgically removed via trans-zygomatic hemicoronal approach.

“…Many minimally invasive or endoscopic approaches have been reported in literature11; however, in cases of gigantic neoformation and to perform a complete resection, open surgery and intensive care are suggested. Even if osteoma represent a benign neoformation, in cases of huge dimensions, it may be a threat for the patient life, as the case reported.…”

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumour. Solitary osteoma of the jaws usually involves the mandible and commonly remains asymptomatic. Purpose of this article is to report a case of life-threatening gigantic mandibular osteoma in an edentulous woman in her 70s developed in the lingual side of the mandibular angle presenting at emergency department with dyspnoea and discuss the correct management of the patient and the surgical approach for space occupying mass in the pharapharyngeal space.

“…Pathologies of the palate present a major discomfort for patients. Pathologies of the soft tissue of the palate include mucosal wounds, schwannoma of the palate, vascular anomalies, lipoma, oral fibroma, and viral infections, such as the herpes zoster or human papillomavirus [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Herpes zoster occurs when the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) becomes latent in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and trigeminal ganglia and is reactivated by immunosuppression or other mechanisms.…”

A Case of Oral Health Management for a Patient with Extensive Ulceration of the Oral Mucosa Due to Herpes Zoster

et al. 2022

Oral ulcers caused by herpes zoster virus infection are commonly encountered in daily clinical practice. However, in rare cases, sepsis or viremia can occur with serious outcomes; hence, these must be managed effectively. Here, we report a case of a patient with extensive ulceration caused by varicella zoster virus infection. Antiviral treatment was started early, and oral health management was started simultaneously, with oral hygiene instructions for pain control. As a result, the patient was able to resume oral food intake and was discharged from the hospital within a week. This case suggested that oral health management comprising supportive care, with the assistance of dentists and dental hygienists, as well as antiviral therapy, are important in the treatment of oral ulcers associated with herpes zoster virus infection.
