Mohs fixed-tissue excision of dentoalveolar bone in canines: a histologic evaluation.
Mohs surgery is a well-established surgical technique that involves conservative, microscopically guided excision of malignant lesions, thereby sparing the maximum amount of normal surrounding tissue. Current surgical therapy for oral cancer frequently involves resection with wide margins, resulting in significant cosmetic and functional deficits. This pilot study used the Mohs technique for in situ fixation and excision of maxillary and mandibular bone in mongrel dogs. Histologic examination of the excisional sites was carried out at 8 weeks to examine changes in the surrounding bone, periodontal ligament, and dental pulp of adjacent teeth. The findings suggest that zinc chloride fixative paste does not result in destruction of the dental pulp or surrounding dentoalveolar bone of teeth in the vicinity of a fixed-tissue excision. The Mohs fixed-tissue technique may allow preservation of oral structures that would otherwise be sacrificed in the presence of bony tumor involvement.

Tongue and cheek: oral lesions in pityriasis rosea.
Fifty-one consecutive patients with clinical findings and history consistent with pityriasis rosea underwent a complete oral examination to search for any concomitant oral lesions. One case was omitted from the statistical analysis because the results of a rapid plasma reagin test were positive. Of the fifty remaining cases, eight patients (16 percent) were noted to have various oral lesions, all of which were asymptomatic. These findings suggest that the actual incidence of oral lesions in pityriasis rosea may be higher than previously reported. A complete oral examination in a patient presenting with a papulosquamous eruption may be helpful in ascertaining the diagnosis of pityriasis rosea.

Tinea capitis in three adults.
Three cases of tinea capitis in healthy adults are presented. In light of the very low incidence (less than 1%) of tinea capitis in nonimmunocompromised adults and the possibility of contagion from asymptomatic dermatophyte carriers in the pediatric and adult populations, the necessity for heightened clinical suspicion and diagnostic tenacity in the evaluation of adults with scalp dermatitis and/or alopecia for possible tinea capitis is underscored.
