Introduction: Pyogenic granuloma, known as gravidarum granuloma or pregnancy granuloma, is a benign non-neoplastic reactive oral lesion that may occur in pregnant women. It is usually a highly vascularized mass, which has exophytic characteristics, and it may be sessile or pedunculated. Its surface has usually a smooth or lobular aspect, with its coloration ranging from red to pink. The pain sensitivity will depend on the degree of injury involving the traumatic lesion, but it is frequently painless. Adjacent areas to dental implants are rare for the appearance of this type of granuloma. Objective: The aim of this case report was to present a clinic case of gravidarum granuloma in the region of lower lingual gingiva, adjacent to an osseointegrated implant in a 33-year-old woman, with 3 months of gestation, who had the lesion since the beginning of her pregnancy. Conclusion: Gravidarum granuloma was diagnosed in association to a dental implant, and it highlights the necessity for improvements of oral hygiene in the peri-implant regions. Surgical treatment with excisional biopsy plus hygiene control were enough to settle the case.

Introduction. Orbital floor blowout fracture is a common traumatic lesion of the craniofacial complex, but rarely in children population, consequently representing challenge in surgical treatment. Timely diagnosis and surgical treatment prevent the probability of the occurrence of the functional complications. Case report. We presented surgical treatment of on 8-year-old girl with a blowout orbital floor fracture one month after the injury. The predominant symptoms were: ocular bulb motility disorder with consecutive strabismus and double vision. Orbital floor reconstruction was made by an autogenous mandibular symphyseal graft. A year after the orbital floor reconstruction additional correction of strabismus was performed due to functional disorder of the bulbomotor muscles. Conclusion. Delayed surgical treatment of blowout orbital floor fracture in children leads to unsatisfactory functional results in the majority of cases. In such a situation surgical correction of strabismus is necessary in order to obtain functionally quality vision and satisfactory aesthetic appearance.

Pyogenic granuloma is a vascularized non neoplastic lesion, in the oral cavity, caused by trauma, local irritants or hormonal factors, with a higher prevalence in women, present more frequently in the mandible than in the maxilla. It is not associated with pus as its name suggests and histologically it resembles an angiomatous lesion rather than a granulomatous lesion. It is known by a variety of names such as Crocker and Hartzell’s disease, granuloma pyogenicum, granuloma pediculatum benignum, benign vascular tumor and during pregnancy as granuloma gravidarum Treatment consists of removal of local irritant, if any followed by excisional biopsy. This clinical case report presents the clinical and histopathological characteristics of the large pyogenic granuloma in a 36-year-old female, who reported to the Department of Santosh Dental College, Ghaziabad. Intraoral examination revealed a lesion mainly non tender, sessile, soft in consistency and measuring approximately 16by 9 mm in diameter in the posterior side of maxillary first quadrant. Keeping in view the characteristics of the lesion, anamnesis and the literature, the pyogenic granuloma and giant cell granuloma were defined as diagnostic hypotheses. Excisional biopsy was done and specimen was sent for histopathological evaluation.

AbstractWe present a 42-year-old male with botryomycosis initially presenting with left-sided proptosis due to an infraorbital mass. A biopsy through an anterior orbitotomy yielded indeterminate histopathology. The patient later developed a similar oral lesion which was biopsied and found to be botryomycosis. The oral lesion recurred after initial surgical treatment, but responded to antibiotic therapy. Discussion of this case along with a review of the literature is presented to offer guidelines for recognition and managment of this rare disorder.

The aim is to discuss four cases of gingival reactive hyperplastic lesions in patients with a history of excision of oral neoplastic lesions and rehabilitation by a free revascularized flap of the iliac crest. One female and 3 male patients were referred due to the presence of exophytic lesions at the rehabilitated sites. The clinical examination revealed that the poor oral hygiene was the common trigger factor in all the cases, in addition to trauma from the upper left second molar in the first case, pericoronitis related to a partially erupted lower right third molar in the third case, and poor stability of an upper removable partial denture in the fourth case. All the cases were subjected to elimination of these suspected triggering factors, exclusion of dysplasia, excisional biopsy by CO2 laser, and five follow-up visits. The histological examination of all the cases confirmed the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. These presented cases suggest that the limitations in oral functions and maintaining the oral hygiene measures following the free revascularized flap reconstruction surgery probably played a role in the development of gingival reactive hyperplastic lesions with presence of trigger factors such as local trauma, chronic infection, or inadequate prosthesis.

Granuloma pyogenicum is the second most common oral lesion, which does not produce pus. This is a smooth, painless, non neoplastic and lobulated or cauliflower like growth of the connective tissue seen commonly on gingiva and in young females comparing to males. Pyogenic granuloma seems to contribute 19.76-25% of all reactive lesions. Pyogenic granuloma being benign in nature this may attain an alarming size causing pain and discomfort. Thus early intervention through reinforcement of adequate oral hygiene measures along with surgical excision down to the periosteum is necessary to minimize the recurrence.

Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.

Abstract The article presents a case with diagnosed Hodgkin disease (HD) during pregnancy. The aim of this case study was to present diagnostic possibilities in determining HD stage during pregnancy and therapeutic dilemmas. The incidence of HD during pregnancy is 3.2% of all cases with this malignant hematological disorder. The treatment of this disease during pregnancy depends on disease-related factors, pregnancy-related factors, as well as possible implications for fetal morbidity and mortality. The need of analysis of the nature of the disease during pregnancy indicates examination of a larger series of pregnant women with HD and the drawn conclusions affect the decision whether chemotherapy treatment should start immediately or it should be postponed for after delivery.
