ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of the study was to analyze the frequency and distribution of gingival lesions in MR Ambedkar Dental College, Bengaluru. Materials and methods The material included the biopsies of all localized reactive hyperplastic lesions (LRHL) of the gingiva stored in the department's database (1995-2011). The lesions were analyzed according to their location and the patient's age and gender. The findings were compared with other published studies on reactive lesions. Results A total of 260 reactive lesion biopsies were accessed. focal fibrous hyperplasia (FFH) was the most common (38.5%), followed by pyogenic granuloma (PG) (34.6%), peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) (17.7%) and peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) (9.2%). The mean age of the patients was 33 years, with a range varying from 9 to 80 years. The LRHL occurred more commonly in females except focal fibrous hyperplasia, which showed male predilection. PG and POF were more common in the maxilla and FFH as well as PGCG were more common in the mandible. Conclusion This study indicates some differences in age and gender distribution as well as in location between the different lesions. The results of this study differ from those of other studies and the data presented here can be used as a guide for further multicenter studies. How to cite this article Ramu S, Rodrigues C.

Limb lesions of skin, soft tissue and bone are commonly encountered. They include a multitude of non neoplastic, benign and malignant diseases ranging from lipoma to brosarcoma and from epidermal cyst to squamous cell carcinoma. An insight of the pattern of various limb diseases in relation to site, age, and type of lesion assists in better comprehension of differential diagnosis for histopathologists. A retrospective study of histopathologically diagnosed cases of Material & Methods: 47 limb lesion patients from June 2020 to May 2021 was undertaken. A total 47 cases included 28 male and 19 female, Results: 55% of cases belong to age group 21 to 50 years. 13 (28%) cases were of upper extremity and 34 (72%) from lower extremity. 15 (34%) cases were non-neoplastic, 13 (28%) were benign lesion and rest 19 (38%) were malignant lesions. Lower limb lesions are more common than Conclusion: upper limb lesions. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm and lipoma is the most common benign disease of extremity. Pyogenic granuloma and epidermal cyst were found to be the most common non-neoplastic extremity lesions. Fibrosarcoma was the most common type of sarcoma observed in 9% cases. Chronic osteomyelitis was the most common bony lesion.

AbstractObjectives:Recently, the 532 nm pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser has emerged as an effective angiolytic laser for treating mucosal lesions of the larynx in the operating theatre and clinic. We sought to assess the current impact of potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser on our laryngeal surgery practice.Study design:Retrospective review of 710 patients undergoing endoscopic laryngeal surgery over a one-year period.Methods:Medical records of the endoscopic laryngeal procedures were reviewed; 386/710 had been performed in the clinic and 324/710 in the operating theatre under general anaesthesia. Indications for the procedures were classified by pathology.Results:Pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser was used in 209/386 clinic procedures. The indications for these procedures were: dysplasia (114/209 procedures), papillomatosis (89/209), varices or ectasia (three of 209), and ‘other’ (three of 209). Pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser was used in 178/324 operating theatre endoscopic laryngeal procedures. The indications for these procedures were: cancer (54/178 procedures), dysplasia (52/178), papillomatosis (38/178), varices or ectasia (13/178), polyps (six of 178), nodules (six of 178), stenosis (five of 178), granulation (three of 178), and amyloid (one of 178).Conclusions:Due to its versatility, the 532 nm pulsed potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser is our most commonly utilised instrument for performing endoscopic laryngeal surgery.

Cricopharyngeal dysfunction is a relatively uncommon disorder that is widely misunderstood. Cricopharyngeal dysmotility is thought to represent abnormal function of the upper esophageal or cricopharyngeal sphincter. The cause of this dysfunction is related to uncoordinated pharyngeal swallowing, achalasia, or a combination of these factors. Unfortunately, standard diagnostic tests have not consistently demonstrated a failure of the cricopharyngeal sphincter to malfunction; therefore, cricopharyngeal myotomy has been suggested as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the treatment of dysmotility. Our report focuses on the current trends in the diagnosis and treatment of cricopharyngeal dysfunction. We also present a case report of a transmucosal cricopharyngeal myotomy performed with the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser. The KTP laser was found to be relatively safe and effective and did not demonstrate significant morbidity. Our conclusion was that a transmucosal cricopharyngeal myotomy with the KTP laser may represent a viable alternative for patients with cricopharyngeal dysmotility.
