Adequate Management

We report the case of a 25-year-old man with a maxillary ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC). The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with a growing lump in the left maxilla. Initial workup with CT revealed a cystic lesion in the left upper jaw with associated bone erosion and an enhancing soft-tissue component. Enucleation showed a GCOC associated with a calcifying odontogenic cyst. After the diagnosis was obtained, the patient underwent widening of the first surgical resection. GCOCs are rare odontogenic neoplasms with unspecific clinical and imaging presentation, whose definitive characterisation is based on pathology. Current treatment approaches mainly involve surgical excision, but the prognosis is highly unpredictable due to intertumoral heterogeneity. As tumour recurrences occur in 73% of cases, radical surgery with negative margins is highly recommended. Therefore, it is essential to recognise this entity to offer patients adequate management.

Abstract Background Endometriosis of the uterine body can be manifested as diffuse solid lesions or cystic lesions. The former is common, while the latter is rare, especially for cystic adenomyosis larger than 5 cm. Case presentation A 30-year-old woman was admitted for severe and worsening dysmenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed a rare well-circumscribed cystic lesion about 5.5 × 4 × 5.0 cm. CA-125 level was slightly elevated. She accepted laparoscopic surgery and the adenomyotic tissues were excised. The histopathology of the specimen demonstrated the endometrial glands in the walls of cysts and an area of extensive hemorrhage can be seen in the inner wall of cyst. The patient made a good recovery after surgery and her symptoms complete resoluted. Conclusions This is a rare case of a cystic adenomyotic lesion that was treated by laparoscopic surgery.

Oral Azithromycin

The safety and efficacy of oral azithromycin and topical adapalene are well documented. In this study, concomitant use of oral azithromycin pulse therapy and daily topical adapalene in the treatment of acne vulgaris is assessed. A total of 37 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Azithromycin, 500 mg orally once daily first 3 days of 10 days' cycle for 9 cycle & topical Adapalene (0.5%) at night. Patients evaluated at 4 weeks' interval by using Michaelsson acne severity index. The overall assessment was made by percent reduction of acne lesions and severity score. At the end of 12 weeks' treatment 99.8% of comedones, 98.7% papular lesion, 94.3% pustular lesion and 88.8% infiltrated lesion were cleared. Only 2.9% cystic lesion responded to the regimens. Percent reduction of Michaelsson acne severity index was 87%, which was statistically highly significant. Overall assessment revealed acne lesion cleared in 22% cases, excellent improvement observed in 65% and 13% showed good response. Adverse effect was minimal. So, azithromycin pulse therapy and topical adapalene is indeed effective and safe in the treatment of acne vulgaris.Medicine Today 2016 Vol.28(2): 52-56

Abstract Background Concomitant cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are rare in the head and neck region. In our search of the English language literature, we found only one case report describing the simultaneous occurrence of COD and ABC in the head and neck region. Here, we report a case of COD associated with ABC. Further, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify studies on patients with COD associated with nonepithelial lined cysts of the jaws. Case presentation The patient was a 32-year-old woman who was referred from a private dental clinic because of a cystic lesion below the mandibular right first molar. She had no pain or significant systemic disease. After performing panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, the imaging diagnosis was COD with a cystic lesion, such as ABC or solitary bone cyst. Excisional biopsy was performed, which revealed concomitant COD and ABC. Conclusion This case of ABC associated with COD provides insight for the diagnostic process of radiographically mixed lesions with cystic changes.
