An unusual case of oral hirsutism in a patient with polycystic ovarian syndromeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a clinical case that is relatively unusual owing to the appearance of black hairs that are similar to nasal hair in the oral mucosa, which is an atypical location. This unusual case was considered to be oral hirsutism, and its presence constituted the essential element in the diagnosis of PCOS. The hypothesis proposed for this unusual condition could be correlated to the high rate of circulating testosterone that may have influenced and led to the development and appearance of the hair follicles in the oral mucosa.

There is no question that we are embarking on changing times in our specialty. For more than 30 years the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons has been at the forefront of change, expanding our scope and redefining who and what oral surgeons are and do. In fact, it was the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons that initiated our name change to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. With health care on everyone's mind and issues of the scope of procedures being determined by the legislators and nonoral surgeons, it is no wonder that many of us who practice oral and maxillofacial surgery are very conce...

Evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT for diagnosing cervical nodal metastases in patients with oral cavity or oropharynx carcinomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
One of the characteristics of oral cavity or oropharynx cancer is the considerably high frequency of metastasis to the lymph node. Since the improvement of local control of early-stage oral or oropharynx carcinoma, treatments for the subsequent development of nodal metastases have become extremely important. The cure rate declines by almost 50% with the involvement of regional lymph nodes and increasing nodal stage. Between 21% and 45% of N0 oral or oropharynx cancer patients have been reported to harbor metastases in their neck lymph nodes. Accurate diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis and early treatment has there...

Extraction of a deeply impacted lower third molar by sagittal split osteotomyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Extraction of deeply impacted wisdom molars from the lower jaw with the bone osteotomy may necessitate removal of extra bone and complicate the procedure with damage to the inferior alveolar nerve and iatrogenic fractures of the mandible. In such cases, the sagittal split osteotomy offers excellent exposure to the operative field and minimizes bone loss at the mandibular ramus. The presented case includes removal of a deeply impacted lower third molar presenting mild infection from the mid-ramus using the sagittal split of the mandible. The sagittal split osteotomy, which appears to be a reliable technique, should be the m...

Conclusions: The finding of 2 cases of bilateral asymmetry among the 53 bilaterally dissected cadavers led to the consideration of each “hemi-head” as a single entity. This increased the sample size. Statistical analysis of the data, systematically broken down by sex and by side, showed that the second part of the maxillary artery is more likely to lie deep to the lower head of the lateral pterygoid muscle in females than in males, and that “side” is irrelevant.

Treatment of compartment syndrome in donor site of free fibula flap after mandibular reconstruction surgeryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Compartment syndrome is a rare donor-site morbidity of the free fibula osteocutaneous flap in mandibular reconstruction. A case is reported where the major complication of compartment syndrome occurred in a 34-year-old man when the donor site defect was closed primarily after taking a skin paddle with a width of 3 cm. Then an anterolateral thigh flap was designed to cover the donor left leg defect. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus and black-pigmented bacteroides indicate a high risk for the development of Ludwig's anginaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Elevated levels of CRP and urea could indicate the severity of infection in patients with LA. This could be because of the highly virulent and fast-spreading organisms, S. aureus and black-pigmented bacteroides, which may be a factor indicative of LA.

Rare mycoses of the oral cavity: a literature epidemiologic reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Stomatologic fungal infections display different etiologies, pathogenesis, and clinical presentations. The incidence of rare mycoses of oral cavity is very low. These infections can involve both immunocompromised and immmunocompetent patients with common predisposing factors, such as diabetes or suffering from diseases causing immune system impairment. Oral mycoses can cause acute, chronic, and mucocutaneous lesions. Candidiasis is the most common mouth mycosis. Although occasionally primary mouth pathogens, Cryptococcus spp. or filamentous fungi (Aspergillus spp. and zygomycetes) can cause oral mycoses, with the oral loca...
