Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible.

Large intraosseous arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the mandible are rare lesions. A review of the American literature has revealed sixty cases involving the mandible. This article presents a case of left mandibular AVM in which the initial treatment was embolization. Eventually, however, an emergency hemimandibulectomy became necessary. Postoperative physiotherapy is considered an important part of the treatment in patients who have undergone hemimandibulectomy. An unusual feature in this case has been the amount of spontaneous regeneration of bone in the surgical site.

Verruciform xanthoma. First case reported in a black person.

The twenty-sixth case of verruciform xanthoma is reported. The clinical and light microscopic findings in this case are similar to those previously described of a shaggy, parakeratin-covered, pebbly, or verrucous surface and elongated rete pegs which extend a uniform depth into the underlying conncetive tissue. Large "foam cells" or xanthoma cells filled only the connective tissue papillae between the epithelial pegs. The 1.5 by 4 cm. lesion in our patient is the largest verruciform xanthoma reported to date and is the first to be reported in a black person.
