Tufted angioma (TA) is a benign vascular tumor with endothelial origin. It is extremely rare in oral mucosa; only seven cases have been reported in the literature so far. Here, we describe two cases of tufted angioma observed in children and we also present a review of the literature about this pathology, concerning the differential diagnosis and management of this lesion in children.

Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.

Epidermoid cysts are unusual benign cysts that occur in the oral cavity less than 2% of the time. Epidermoid cysts isolated to the uvula are rare. A review of the literature has revealed only three confirmed cases of isolated uvular epidermoid cysts. We present a series of three such cases, two of which presented with significant symptomatology. The diagnosis and management of these unusual lesions will be discussed, as well as the differential diagnosis.

AbstractA report of a case with a vascular malformation of the internal auditory canal (IAC) is presented. A review of the literature of this rather rare lesion is also made in an attempt to outline its clinical features, radiological diagnosis and management. The differential diagnosis and distinction between vascular malformations and other internal auditory canal tumours are discussed.

ABSTRACT Aim This manuscript aims to describe an unusual case of multiple second primary squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) in several sites of the oral mucosa in a nonsmoker and nondrinker woman and to discuss the diagnostic criteria, clinicopathological aspects and outcome of second primary tumor (SPT). Background Patients treated for SCC of the head and neck are at high risk for developing SPT arising from the same dysplastic mucosal field. Currently, there is no reliable method to predict which of the patients will develop SPT. Case description A 64-year-old nonsmoker and nondrinker woman developed several second primary oral SCCs in 7 years of follow-up, most of them being synchronic, treated by surgery without and with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Conclusion Patients treated for SCC require a long-term and careful follow-up as the development of SPT contributes with significantly negative impact on the prognosis. Clinical significance This report describes the diagnosis and management of a very unusual case of several SPTs affecting different sites of the oral mucosa in the same patient. Moreover, the patient had no apparent risk factors associated with the development of the oral cancer. Therefore, a brief update concerning SPT and its diagnosis and management is also provided.
