It has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and can occur in any age group with predominance in children and young adults. This article presents a rare case of LCH in a 2-year-old girl child which was provisionally diagnosed as an infection of the jaw bone of unknown etiology. Correlating the clinical, radiologic, and histologic features with immunohistochemical analysis aided in arriving at a definitive diagnosis of LCH. Oral manifestations being the earliest presentation seen in around 5%-75% of LCH cases emphasize the role of a dentist in the early detection of this lesion. A myriad of clinical spectra due to pathologic infiltration of Langerhans cells into various systems necessitates oral diagnosis to be followed by a full body scan to detect any systemic involvement. Advanced targeted therapies can improve the survival rate and quality of life in patients with LCH.","PeriodicalId":38846,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"28 4","pages":"708-712"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11819628/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though there are numerous advancements in treatment, survival remains a question with late diagnosis. Hence, there are continuous inventions of new drugs. The introduction of Ayurveda in the therapy has paved the way for the longevity of the patients affected. One such introduction is the use of Triphala. The current study aims to review the anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-microbial, and apoptotic action of Triphala and thus evaluate the anti-cancer action of Triphala. A literature search was done, in various electronic databases and the data were extracted according to the predefined criteria. Original studies of 19 reports were included in the analysis. Nineteen (six studies with Triphala combination) In vitro/In vivo studies were included in this systematic review. The included study showed that Triphala effectively modulates the immune system. The effects included were anti-oxidative, immune modulation, anti-proliferative, tumor suppression, apoptotic effect, reversal of precancerous lesion, and anti-microbial action. The analyses also showed that there is no side effect of Triphala up to the recommended dosage. Triphala, is a nourishing supplement that is well-known in Ayurveda for its capacity to restore healthy tissues and promote aging gracefully through its properties such as anti-oxidant, ant-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic apoptotic, and immune-modulatory properties. Hence, Triphala can be a promising drug in the prevention and treatment of oral cancer.","PeriodicalId":38846,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"28 4","pages":"657-664"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11819626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by restricted mouth opening, tongue protrusion and cheek rigidity. Oral submucous fibrosis, is primarily prevalent among the people of the Indian subcontinent and it has been reported that about one third of the OSMF patients develop squamous cell carcinoma.Endoglin (CD-105) is a hypoxia induced protein and a potential marker for activated endothelial cells which signify tumorigenic neoangiogenesis.Aim: To determine expression of CD105 and study relation of neoangiogenesis with the clinical staging and histopathological grading of oral submucous fibrosis.Material and method: Immunohistochemical expression of CD105 was evaluated on forty nine (49) paraffin-embedded tissue sections of diagnosed cases of OSF and seven (7) control samples of healthy volunteers.Results: There were 13 cases in Stage A, 11 cases in Stage B, 13 cases in Stage C, and 12 cases in Stage D. There were 4 cases in Grade 1 (Very early), 19 cases in Grade 2 (Early), 19 cases in Grade 3 (Moderately advance) and 7 cases in Grade 4 (Advance).Conclusion: The present study was first immunohistochemical study to demonstrate MVD, MVP and MVAP with CD105 expression in OSMF cases. However, well-designed studies with larger sample size is required to validate CD105 as a reliable biomarker for malignant transformation in future research.","PeriodicalId":38846,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"28 4","pages":"589-595"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11819617/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, the frequency of the genotypes of the PTEN gene, (rs2943773, rs1234224, rs9651495, rs3827678, and rs11202600) has been observed in individuals with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR).Methodology: Saliva samples were collected from healthy individuals and individuals with OSCC. DNA extraction was done, followed by PCR using fluidigmn technique to observe the frequency of the genotypes.Results: Variation was observed in the distribution of frequencies of the alleles (rs9651495 and rs1234224) of the PTEN gene between the healthy individual and those with occurrence of OSCC. The other genotypes did not show any statistically significant difference in the distribution between the study group and the control group, nor any association was observed with OSCC.Conclusion: The variation in the frequency of rs9651495 and rs1234224 of the PTEN gene suggests an association between the \"PTEN\" gene and \"OSCC\" and hence its use in the panel of diagnostic markers. This also opens the field for future research in the therapeutic applications of the PTEN gene.","PeriodicalId":38846,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"28 4","pages":"596-601"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11819637/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient denied the use of tobacco in any form or history of trauma, and his family history was unremarkable. Clinical examination revealed a 2 × 3 cm reddish-pink, firm lesion with palpable submandibular lymph nodes. Radiological imaging showed a well-defined radiolucency distal to tooth #47. An incisional biopsy revealed the proliferation of spindle cells and ameloblastomatous epithelium showing features like pleomorphism, cellular crowding, and mitotic figures. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed odontogenic origin. Based on the above findings, the diagnosis of the spindle cell variant of ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) was rendered. AC, constituting less than 2% of odontogenic tumours, and the spindle cell variant, a rare subtype with fewer than 15 reported cases, pose diagnostic challenges, necessitating careful histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.","PeriodicalId":38846,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology","volume":"28 4","pages":"713-715"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11819649/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
