The tumors may occur in bone or soft tissue and are common in the craniofacial region. Microscopically this neoplasm can be difficult to diagnosis. Identification of the Hey1::NCOA2 fusion confirms the diagnosis. Two cases involving the jaws and one of the skull are reported.</p></div><div><h3>Case Findings</h3><p>Case 1: A 44-year-old male with right jaw pain and facial asymmetry presented for evaluation. Imaging revealed a 7 cm destructive intraosseous mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion. Case 2: An 11-year-old male presented with swelling of left temporal region of two weeks duration. Imaging revealed a 5 cm destructive lesion with a mixed radiographic appearance.

Imaging revealed minimal bony surface destruction of the anterior maxilla.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Microscopic variability characterized the three cases. Case 1 exhibited classic histopathological presentation of nodules of cartilage surrounded by spindle cells. Case 2 predominately exhibited spindle cells with a pericytomatous vascular growth pattern without a cartilage component.

Case 3 exhibited a monotonous spindle cell lesion suggestive of monophasic synovial sarcoma, but minute osteochondroid foci led to molecular interrogation. Molecular analysis in all three cases identified a Hey1::NCOA2, confirming the mesenchymal chondrosarcoma diagnoses.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Aggressive clinical behavior characterized all three cases. Histologically, the biphasic presentation was best represented in Case 1.

The gingival swelling was present for six years but only recently caused discomfort in addition to increasing tooth mobility. The patient denied any constitutional symptoms and was not taking any medications. She did not have any cutaneous, ocular, or genital lesions. She has had three miscarriages in the past and of note, the patient's symptoms worsen during pregnancy. On clinical examination all four quadrants demonstrated diffuse maxillary and mandibular buccal and lingual erythematous gingival enlargement associated with displacement of teeth and associated mobility. Radiographs showed generalized horizontal bone loss in both the maxilla and mandible. The clinical differential diagnosis of the severe gingival swelling included acute leukemia, lymphoma, inflammatory bowel disease, plasma cell gingivitis, and drug-induced gingival overgrowth. An incisional biopsy demonstrated a densely cellular proliferation of spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern of short fascicles suggestive of a mesenchymal proliferation. The connective tissue stroma also showed areas of atypical metaplastic osteoid and chondroid deposition. Small islands of clear cells reminiscent of odontogenic islands were found encased within the osteoid deposits. There were also aggregates of granular cells noted. A comprehensive IHC panel included SATB2 (diffusely positive), CD56 (+ve), SSTR2A (focal +ve), CK19 (-ve but highlighted odontogenic epithelial nests), and the following stains were negative: AFB/ZN, TLE-1, MUC-4, ERG, CK7, CK20, Desmin, STAT-6, S-100, SOX-10, CD34, CD99, CD68, CD45, Kappa/Lambda (polytypic), and Ki67 (low).

The associated challenges included pain, recurrent infections, diminished quality of life—especially in terms of food intake—and social discomfort due to characteristic lesion odor. Medication-associated osteonecrosis (OAM) is identified as an injury leading to the temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to bones, with diverse causal factors. Patients underwent thorough anamnesis, substantiating medication use via medical prescriptions, clinical examinations by qualified Dental Surgeons, and imaging assessments including panoramic radiography, periapical radiographs during follow-up, and, in specific cases, computed tomography. The treatment involved weekly monitoring, adjusting consultation frequencies as the condition stabilized, and implementing Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT). SDT, an innovative approach, utilizes low-frequency, high-intensity ultrasound to stimulate sonosensitizers, inducing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). A non-invasive treatment, SDT offers site-specific cytotoxicity by generating ROS in response to sonic/ultrasonic sources, potentially treating bacterial infections. All six patients treated with SDT experienced improved quality of life, as documented through visual evidence. The adaptability of SDT to equipment emitting sonic/ultrasonic waves envisions broader applications, particularly in resource-limited regions, rendering it a potentially accessible method for both professionals and patients.
