Abstract
A 30-year-old female presented to the hospital with an extensive tumoral lesion on the palate, with an evolution of 20 years, causing dysphagia and difficulty in speaking. Incisional biopsy revealed a fragment of nonencapsulated neoplasm with proliferation of myoepithelial cells, forming cellular cords. The cells had large and eosinophilic cytoplasm and rounded nuclei displaced to the periphery, configuring a plasmacytoid morphology. The stroma of the lesion was composed of fibrous connective tissue, sometimes with a myxomatous appearance. The diagnosis was compatible with myoepithelioma. She was submitted to surgery under general anesthesia for conservative surgical enucleation of the lesion. To cover the raw area, a double-layer acellular dermal matrix was used, composed of bovine collagen internally and silicone externally, which was removed 3 weeks after surgery. After removal, a granulation tissue was observed, later giving way to the epithelial tissue of the palate. The patient is on regular follow-up with no abnormalities.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
