Tuberculosis of the tongue.
A case of pulmonary tuberculosis of the tongue is reported, and tuberculosis of the upper airway in a VA Hospital is reviewed. A regimen of triple antituberculous drugs, isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifampin, was prescribed. Repeated radiographs of the chest showed considerable improvement of the pulmonary lesions. The lesion of the tongue was surgically excised as a diagnostic procedure and has not recurred.
Bronchogenic carcinoma metastatic to the lip and the mandible.
Two cases of metastatic bronchogenic carcinoma are reported. Possible pathways of dissemination are discussed, along with the symptoms, diagnosis, and management of these lesions.
Necrotizing sialometaplasia: review of the literature and report of nonulcerative case.
A review of the literature and a report of a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia of the hard palate is presented. Because necrotizing sialometaplasia may be misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma or mucoepidermoid carcinoma, it is important that the clinician and pathologist take the necessary precautions to prevent any further mutilative surgery for this benign disease entity.
Peripheral ameloblastoma.
A peripheral ameloblastoma in a 58-year-old man has been reported. No evidence as to the origin was shown, although the tumor was in apposition with the basal layer.
