Lipoma of the parotid gland.
This case report describes a lipoma that appeared as a parotid gland tumor. The lipoma is an asymptomatic, slow-growing, nontender mass. This lesion is rare at this site and exhibits no unique clinical features. There is no reliable method of establishing a preoperative diagnosis; therefore, the lesion should be included as a rare possibility in the differential diagnosis of tumors involving the parotid gland. The treatment of choice is surgical excision, and recurrence is rare.

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of mucous salivary glands: a case involving the retromolar area.
This case report describes an unusual salivary gland lesion that involved the retromolar area. This lesion presented clinically as an asymptomatic tumorlike nodule that was characterized microscopically by a proliferation of mucous salivary gland tissue. The exact nature of this focal enlargement of accessory salivary gland tissue is not known. Because this lesion cannot be distinguished clinically from a salivary gland neoplasm, it must be excised and examined microscopically.

Focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's disease). A case report.
The occurrence of focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's Disease) in a 12-year-old Mexican-American female is presented. Focal epithelial hyperplasia is a relatively unusual and benign disorder characterized generally by multiple asymptomatic nodules, occurring most commonly in younger segments of indigenous populations and ethnic groups. The clinical behavior, histologic appearance and possible etiologic factors of focal epithelial hyperplasia are discussed.

Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (Gorlin cyst).
A case report of a rare peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst is presented. The clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of the lesion are discussed, along with the etiology, rate of occurrence and diagnosis.

The giant cell fibroma. A review of 464 cases.
The biopsy service at Indiana University School of Dentistry, Department of Oral Pathology, accessioned 464 cases of giant cell fibroma from February, 1971, until May, 1980. From a study of these cases, it appears that the giant cell fibroma is a distinctive lesion with a characteristic age distribution, location, sex incidence, and histologic appearance. Clinically, the giant cell fibroma presents as an asymptomatic, papillary, pedunculated lesion, commonly regarded as a papilloma. It is fairly common in young persons and usually occurs on the gingiva. No sex predilection has been noted, and simple surgical excision appears to be the treatment of choice.

Diagnosis of ameloblastoma of the maxilla by fine needle aspiration. A case report.
Ameloblastoma is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium that occurs in the jaws. We describe a case of an ameloblastoma of the maxilla that was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The patient presented with a mass in the left maxillary sinus. Cytologic examination of the aspirate material showed numerous sheets of tightly packed basaloid cells. Several sheets of cells were surrounded by a row of columnar cells, with the nuclei oriented away from the basement membrane (peripheral palisading). Histologic examination of the resection specimen confirmed the presence of an ameloblastoma of the maxilla.
