Abstract

Vesiculobullous lesions are defined as a form of muco-cutaneous diseases in which both vescicles and bullae are evident. ‘Vesiculobullous’ sometimes termed as ‘Immunobullous’as decreased immune system of the body causes these diseases. These are either result of range of infections, decreased immunity, druginduced, hereditary or caused by mechanical injury. In all cases ulcerations occur due to rupture of lesions which will further make the diagnosis of lesions difficult to make. This overview will provide a knowledge about the vesiculobullous lesions along with the characteristic’s features affecting the mouth, complete etiopathogenesis, site of occurrence of lesions along with their recent advances in the identification of these lesions. This will also aid in differentially diagnosing the lesions which exhibit similar sign asvesiculobullous lesions but the histopathological examination and immunofluorescence lead to the definitive diagnosis of the lesions.

Abstract

Osteoma is a benign slow growing tumour which commonly occurs in craniofacial bones. These tumoursoccur mainly due to proliferation of cancellous bone. It can be of peripheral, central or extra-skeletal type. In peripheral type which is described in this case report arises from the periosteom and is a very rare occurrence in the mandible. Osteomas are usually asymptomatic and can interfere with the aesthetics if they continue to grow to a larger size. These lesions are mostly discovered during routine clinical or in radiographs. Here we discuss a single large peripheral osteoma which arise from the right lower border of the mandibular body in a 50 yr old woman. This lesion caused a deformity of the facial region. Radiographic examination including IOPA, OPG and lateral oblique revealed a solitary radiopaque bony neoplasm. Incisional biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis to be an osteoma.

Abstract

Lipomas are comparatively uncommon mesenchymaltumours which are benign and originates from adipose cells. Oral lipoma can occur anywhere in the body but commonly develop intraorally in lip,tongue, palate,buccal mucosa, vestibule, and below the tongue and salivary glands. Their progressive growth cause hindrance with speech and mastication due to the tumour’s dimension. Here in thispublication we discuss a case of lipoma in a 28-year-old female patient underneath the anterior one–third of tongue with no pain but interfering with speech and phonation for 2 years.The patient was completely asymptomatic with a large swelling in floor of the mouth and complained of difficulty in speech and eating.
