Fibroma ossificante periférico: relato de caso

The Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive proliferative lesion, non neoplastic, slow growth, which can produce recurrence after removal. It´s etiology is uncertain, but is associated with local irritants, and is found mostly in the anterior maxilla. Clinically it is characterized by an asymptomatic increase in volume, which may, over time, facial asymmetry. The aim of this paper is to describe a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a patient 40, female, exophytic lesion in the jaw, unusual for its large dimensions and with a history of three recurrences, leading to facial asymmetry. She underwent surgery to remove the lesion along with the likely irritants, and the pathological diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma. We conclude that it is fundamentally important for complete removal of the lesion to reduce the tendency to relapse, including the periosteum and the periodontal ligament, in addition to possible causes.

Cisto ósseo simples: relatos de casos

Usually diagnosed in routine radiographs, the simple bone cyst occurs infrequently. Etiology is unknown and differential diagnosis has to be made with dentigerous cyst, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, ameloblastoma and central giant cell granuloma. Treatment is surgical, by perforating the cortical bone. In most cases an empty cavity, without any capsule or epithelial covering, is encountered, but it may have a liquid content. Perforation of the mandibular cortical bone elicits a response that results in bone repair of the empty cavity. This article reviews the subject and presents two cases of this entity and discusses the possible factors that could interfere in healing course.

Onicodistrofia lupoide simétrica canina: relato de caso

Symmetric lupoid onychodystrophy, or lupoid onychitis, is a multifactor immune-mediated onychopathy. The aim of the present study is to report the occurrence of lupoid onychitis in a two year-old mongrel dog helped at the Small Animal Dermatology Service of Sao Paulo State University Veterinary Hospital, in Botucatu, São Paulo. The animal presented lameness, onycholysis in five digits, paronychia, onychomadesis, nail softening and leuchonychia, as well as melicerous crusts in interdigital spaces and nailbeds.
