Abstract

A case of pigmented neuroectodermal tumor (melanotic progonoma) of the maxilla is presented. The treatment of this tumor is conservative surgical excision since the likelihood of recurrence is extremely slight. No case has ever been reported in which tumor metastasized.

Epithelioid sarcoma metastasis to the gingivae: a case report.

We present a rare case of oral metastatic epithelioid sarcoma rapidly growing over the mandibular gingivae; the primary lesion occurred on the wrist and was treated 18 months earlier by surgery and radiotherapy. The oral metastatic lesion was resected and controlled by chemotherapy. This case has been followed for 2 years with good control of the resected oral metastatic lesion. Histologically, round to oval-shaped tumour cells with abundant eosinophylic globular cytoplasm and eccentrically localized nuclei, lack of epithelial features by electron microscopic study, and the immunohistochemical and cytologic features of tumour cells led into the diagnosis of epithelioid sarcoma. To our knowledge, no reports have been published of its occurrence in the oral cavity

Myxoid liposarcoma of the oral cavity: case report and review of the literature.

Liposarcomas very rarely affect the oral cavity; in such cases the cheek is typically involved. Differential diagnosis between lipoma and other sarcomas is sometimes challenging because the macroscopic and histological features may be difficult to distinguish. Neoplasms with the morphology of lipoma should always receive a careful postoperative histopathologic evaluation. Complete surgical excision is the most effective treatment. We present a case of myxoid liposarcoma of the cheek, together with a literature review of intraoral liposarcomas reported during the last 60 years.
