Biopsy of an Innocent Swelling Resulting in a Rare and Unusual Clinical Diagnosis.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Intraoral lesions often present as nodules or swellings. A soft tissue swelling can involve any region of the oral mucosa including gingiva. The primary disease processes that give rise to swellings and tumors of the oral cavity include cysts, mucous extravasation and retention in the minor salivary glands, foci of granulation tissue and inflammation, abscesses, and connective-tissue proliferations that are well-defined or encapsulated, as well as infiltrative sarcomas. Odontogenic swellings are of great concern as they affect the oral cavity involving the bone or soft tissue. Many intraoral swellings may have similar clinical presentation; therefore microscopic examination is essential inorder to arrive at a final diagnosis. This article discusses a case where a non-suspicious gingival swelling in a teenaged male patient turned out to be peripheral unicystic ameloblastoma.
