  1. Periocular collagenous fibroma with bone formation described
    Rare benign periocular collagenous fibroma with metaplastic ossification mimics aggressive lesions. Case study shows MRI findings, histopathology, and complete excision with no recurrence.
  2. Childhood mandibular myxoma presented with persistent trismus
    Case report of odontogenic myxoma in a 5-year-old presenting with trismus, demonstrating persistent functional impairment despite successful tumor removal and bone regeneration.
  3. Pediatric maxillary mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with HEY1::NCOA2 fusion
    Case report of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a 13-year-old with HEY1::NCOA2 fusion treated with multimodal therapy including sirolimus targeting mTOR pathway.
  4. Dental caries prevalence in first permanent molars is relatively high
    Global meta-analysis of 768,263 individuals reveals first permanent molar dental caries prevalence at 33%, with higher rates in Africa, Europe, and Latin America compared to Asia.
  5. Rare solitary fibrous tumor found in the floor of the mouth
    Case report of solitary fibrous tumor of the oral floor in a 42-year-old male, confirmed via histopathology and STAT6 immunohistochemistry; highlights rare intraoral presentation.
  6. Deep learning improved classification of jaw fibro-osseous lesions
    Deep learning model using ResNet-50 classifies fibro-osseous jaw lesions from histology images with 86% accuracy, outperforming pathologists in differentiating fibrous dysplasia, cemento-ossifying.
  7. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia osteoblasts show altered bone homeostasis
    Study characterizes osteoblasts from craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, revealing elevated cAMP, impaired mineralization, and suppressed osteoclastogenesis contributing to abnormal bone homeostasis.
  8. Value of histogram analysis of CT values in differential diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst and ameloblastoma of the jaw
    Histogram analysis of multislice CT attenuation values differentiates odontogenic keratocyst from ameloblastoma, with the 5th percentile parameter demonstrating optimal diagnostic performance.
  9. Primary Pulmonary Ameloblastoma
    First series of primary pulmonary ameloblastomas: three peribronchial masses (5.4–7.3 cm) with stellate reticulum-like histology and BRAF V600E mutations; gnathic primaries excluded.
