Pied Piper syndrome--case report.

A previously unreported involvement of the temporomandibular joint in a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis is described. While etiology is not addressed, suggestive explanations for the clinical symptoms and possible recurrence prevention have been expanded upon. Despite confirming evidence, the author feels that this process may have both an urban and rural manifestation. However at present, the only references have appeared in the ancient literature of Aesop and Grimm.

Isolated odontogenic keratocyst.

Although odontogenic keratocysts are benign they are often locally destructive and tend to recur after conservative surgical treatment. They must therefore be distinguished from other cysts of the jaw. Keratocysts possess outpouchings and microscopic daughter cysts from which recurrences may arise. Histologic examination is essential for diagnosis since the appearances on roentgenograms and at operation usually do not reveal the true nature of the lesion. Since many nondental surgeons and pathologists are unaware of odontogenic keratocysts a case is presented in which surgical treatment was originally conservative and finally relatively radical.
