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

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor DGCT) is a rare, locally invasive and aggressive, benign odontogenic neoplasm which is considered to be a solid variant of calcifying odontogenic cyst COC) with locally aggressive behavior.These resemble other epithelial odontogenic tumors having proliferation of odontogenic epithelium, an abnormal keratinization in the form of ghost cells and dysplastic dentine. There are no characteristic clinical or radiologic pathognomonic features of this rare neoplasm and is confirmed by histopathological evaluation. The present report describes an extremely rare presentation of a DGCT in the posterior body-ramus of the mandible of a 13-year-old male child, which is an unusual age of occurrence.
