Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a common localized, reactive benign gingival growth. POF usually measuring <2cm in diameter.

We present a case of a 25-year-old, female with a large-sized peripheral ossifying fibroma in the oral cavity. The patient presented with an asymptomatic, slowly growing gingival mass in the lower left anterior area of the oral cavity which had been gradually increased in size for more than five years.

This case report shows that POF can grow and reach unusual dimensions that may, also, contribute to occlusal problems and lip incompetence.

POF should be excised completely to decrease the chance of lesion recurrence.

Chylous ascites (CA) is an infrequent, intractable complication that may arise after abdominal surgery. Although various attempts at treatment have been adopted, to date, none of them have been consistently effective. We describe the successful treatment of CA using lymphangiography and embolization with lipiodol.

A 79-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic surgery for rectum cancer at another hospital. selleckchem She was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 9; however, she had to be treated and hospitalized for CA three times until POD 76. She visited our hospital to undergo treatment for CA on POD 90 because the previous conservative treatment had not improved her condition. The computed tomography (CT) scans revealed ascites effusion. We performed lymphangiography and embolization with lipiodol two times. Repeated CT on POD 134 showed that the ascites had not increased.

Lymphangiography and embolization with lipiodol effectively resolved chylous leakage that occurred after abdominal surgery. Additionally, we compare the features of two groups of cases of CA one group in which patients were treated by lymphatic intervention and the second in which patients were treated through surgical procedures.

We were thus able to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of lipiodol lymphangiography in treating CA.

Anomalies and diseases of the biliary system are common with over 20 million cases of biliary disease and an estimated 1.8 million ambulatory visits each year in the United States. Congenital anomalies of the gallbladder are rare and include complete and partial duplications, floating gallbladders, and agenesis. Septations have also been reported in the literature. Case reports have typically described these as longitudinal. Transverse septa, when reported, are associated with inflammation or cholelithiasis. Variations in the cystic duct and vasculature in the portal triad have also been well described.

During the dissection of a 91-year-old female cadaver, an enlarged gallbladder with a partial transverse septum was observed. The gallbladder contained approximately 350ml of bile, no stones, and had a partial transverse septum near the infundibulum. The hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts were enlarged, but of normal configuration. Vascular anomalies were also present, including an accessory left hepatic artery from the left gastric artery and an anomalous origin of the right hepatic artery from the superior mesenteric artery.

This is the first described case of a partial transverse septum with a markedly enlarged gallbladder, dilated duct system, and vascular anomalies in a patient with no evidence of gallstones, inflammation, or scarring.

With the prevalence of biliary disease and frequent subsequent surgery it is essential to appreciate all anatomical variations to avoid iatrogenic injuries to these structures during surgery.

Liposarcoma is the most common sarcoma entity and accounts for 17% to 30% of soft tissue sarcomas. There are several histological types including well-differentiated liposarcoma. This paper aims to underline the interest of immunohistochemical and cytogenetic studies to diagnose well-differentiated liposarcoma and to show the delicacy of performing a surgical procedure in the cheek area.

The authors report the case of a 48-year-old female patient who presented with the recurrence of a right jugal mass initially diagnosed as a lipoma on the resection specimen. The patient was reoperated 5years later and further immunohistochemical and cytogenetic studies confirmed the diagnosis of well-differentiated jugal liposarcoma.

Sarcomas are rare malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin, arising from connective and supporting tissues. It should be noted that certain MRI features can distinguish liposarcoma from lipoma. Conventional histology and immunohistochemistry are the basic means for the diagnosis and classification of liposarcomas. However, molecular biology can add to the pathologist's analysis and rule out differential diagnoses Liposarcoma of the maxillofacial region has a better prognosis compared to other parts of the human body.

This paper underlines the interest of complementary immunohistochemical and cytogenetic studies to differentiate well-differentiated liposarcoma from lipoma as well as the potential for local recurrence of liposarcomas.

Peritoneal bands on the virgin abdomen are an extremely rare etiology of occlusive syndrome. Congenital bridles can be in 0.7 to 2% a cause of small bowel obstruction.

We report a case of a 21-year-old woman who was admitted with symptoms of bowel obstruction. The patient had no surgical or traumatic history. Laparotomy was done and the findings showed a congenital belt extending from the antimesenteric wall of the ileum to the vesical dome, causing bowel strangulation. Band's ligation proceeded smoothly after the operation.

Congenital flanges present an uncommon situation. These bands are usually difficult to classify and define. They are usually observed in childhood. Therefore, this situation represents an unusual surgical problem in diagnosing clinically unexpected elderly patients.

Congenital or spontaneous flanges are an uncommon cause of occlusion, which presents a challenging diagnosis. Exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy is mandatory.
