Orofacial granulomatosis is a granulomatous disease of orofacial region, which can occur for a variety of reasons. The clinical features are highly variable and sometimes so insidious that signs and symptoms are not frequently severe to cause alarm. The lips are most commonly involved with persistent/recurrent swelling. The medical history is very important as Crohn’s disease and sarcoidosis can present oral manifestation. Other causes like mycobacterial infection, foreign body reaction, fungal infection, and allergy were excluded with further investigation to establish diagnosis. Here and we report a case of orofacial granulomatosis with a review of the literature.

Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a rare condition histological consisting of a foreign body, giant cell reaction to cholesterol crystals and haemosiderin derived from the ruptured of the erythrocytes. A 25-year-old man came to our Department presenting signs and symptoms of tympano-mastoid cholesterol granuloma. He showed all the specific sign and symptoms of the disease. However, considering the lack of literature regarding TMCG, this study was performed with the aim of presenting the main characteristics of tympano-mastoid CG, describing the case report and reviewing the literature.

<strong>ABSTRACT. </strong><strong><em>Background:</em></strong> Filler materials injections in orofacial tissues is a practice that grows annually and may be followed by a reaction involved from small inflammatory nodules to large and diffuse granulomas, it’s may develop month or years after de procedure, making it difficult the diagnosis. <strong><em>Objectiv</em></strong><em>e:</em> Identify histopathological features of a reaction to materials filler through a literature review and report three cases in orofacial region. <strong><em>Method:</em> </strong>We made an exhaustive investigation of scientific articles related with filler materials commonly used in orofacial region and clinical cases of foreign body reaction by filler material with emphasis in the histopathological features. The search was made in the database PubMed and Scholar Google from the 2004 - 2015 period. Additionally, we collect three cases diagnosed as foreign body reaction by exogenous material in oral pathology laboratory of Anzoátegui state, Venezuelan. <strong><em>Results:</em> </strong>We found just 10 articles with clinical cases and its histopathological features. Other 3 review articles explain specific characteristics for each filler material. Based on this review, we confirm the 3 cases presented. <strong><em>Conclusions:</em></strong> Few studies describe the histopathological features of a filler material reaction and the kind of material; nevertheless, were synthesized for the confirmation of cases.

Abstract Background Although PGLs may arise at any site where physiologic paraganglionic tissue exists, pelvic origins are not frequent (about 2%), and the most common localization is the retroperitoneal space, whereas bladder PGLs account for less than 0.06% of all bladder neoplasms and less than 1% of all PGLs. Starting from the description of two interesting our cases, we wondered to review the literature on pelvic and bladder paragangliomas (PGLs) with the aim of illustrating clinical characteristics and current management, and enlightening the needed of a prompt diagnosis to avoid the onset of several complications.Methods We herein performed a brief review of the literature about pelvic PGLs in the PubMed library, conducted according to the PRISMA statement, including studies published from 1954 to 2019. We also discuss clinical presentation, morphologic appearance, and management of two cases of pelvic PGL, both of them characterized by a history of paroxysmal high blood pressure episodes uncontrolled by antihypertensive therapy associated with disabling symptoms, misdiagnosed for many years.Results Overall, we evaluated 108 case reports. The majority were females, presenting typical signs and symptoms, such as arterial hypertension (54.2%), hematuria (35.1%), and headache (33.6%). After treatment, the clinical and biochemical remission was showed in only 55% of analyzed cases.Conclusions For their singular localization, pelvic and bladder PGLs often might be misdiagnosed. The resulting delay in the proper treatment could be responsible for the relative low percentage of complete clinical and biochemical remission.

The occurrence of foreign bodies in paranasal sinuses is extremely rare. The symptoms are vague and usually discovered after extra/intracranial complications. They may, therefore, go unnoticed if there isn’t a strong clinical suspicion. We present a clinical case of a 64-year-old woman with a paranasal sinus microsurgery history more than 30 years ago, who presented with headache and purulent rhinorrhea. A glass tubular structure was discovered in the ethmoid complex. She underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Since glass is an inert material that doesn’t cause foreign body reaction, the patient may not present any symptom or sign. However, if there is obstruction in the drainage of the ostiomeatal complex, it can manifest itself as rhinosinusitis, which we believe happened in our case. To the best of our knowledge, this is probably the first reported case of a glass removed from the ethmoidal sinuses, diagnosed with more than 30 years of evolution.
