Objective: Most documented reports on pediatric orofacial malignancies are single institution based and are fraught with discrepancies. Therefore, they do not adequately describe the regional silhouette of orofacial disease burden; hence our multicenter study aims to determine the socio-demographics of paediatric orofacial malignancies and assess t...

Background Clinicohistopathologic assessment of patients with ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma remains the best diagnostic modality for the tumors. However, in cases where the criteria for arriving at a definitive diagnosis are not clearcut, the pathologist is faced with a dilemma and thus an imperative need for adjunct diagnostic methods....

Background: Potash alum mouth rinse has been well studied with appreciable success in protection against carious lesions and periodontal microbiota with no adverse reactions. While oral lichenoid reactions have been documented as complications of various dental materials and drugs none has been reported as a result of alum use. Case Description: An...

Objectives: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate dental education institutions substituted face-to-face learning with online learning. Although online learning has provided many advantages for higher education institutions, there remain many challenges which hinder its usage effectively. This research examined association between the level o...

Primary osteosarcomas of the jaw (OSJ) are rare, accounting for 6% of all osteosarcomas. This study aims to determine the value of SATB2 and MDM2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in differentiating OSJ from other jawbone mimickers, such as benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOLs) of the jaw or Ewing sarcoma of the jaw. Certain subsets of osteosarcoma harbor...

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the presence and prevalence of BRAF V600E mutation in ameloblastomas using anti-BRAF V600E monoclonal antibody (VE1 clone) and to identify any clinicopathologic correlation with BRAF V600E mutation in ameloblastoma. Materials and methods The pathology files of were searched for the diagnosis of amelob...

Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is said to be the most common malignancy affecting the oral cavity and squamous cell carcinoma of the sinonasal tract (SNSCC) is less common. Changing patterns have been observed in the incidence of these lesions in recent years. Objective This study aimed to determine the demographic, clinical, and h...

Introduction: Reactive hyperplastic lesions which occur as a result of chronic irritation of the mucosa of the oral cavity are common lesions faced by dentists during routine examinations. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and sociodemographic distribution of reactive hyperplastic gingival lesions (RHLs) among the paediatric a...

Background: Oro-facial tumours and tumour-like lesions have been shown from previous studies to be more common in adults and present considerable variation with respect to the age, gender, site, clinical behavior and histopathological type in the pediatric group. However, the burden of these diseases in the pediatric population in Nigeria is more d...

Reactivelocalized oral hyperplastic lesions (RLOH) are a range of non-neoplastic growths of the oral mucosa, with variable surface appearances, consistencies, sizes and histological characteristics that occur as tissue response to chronic irritation. This study aim to the demographics and histopathologic characteristics of RLOH seen in a tertiary c...

Abstract Introduction: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumour in Nigeria. A defnite geographic variation has been observed in the frequency of odontogenic tumors from different parts of the world. However, there is no study on the regional variations in Nigeria. Hence, this study was designed to document the ethnic and geographical dis...

Background: Odontogenic lesions are tumours and cysts originating from the odontogenic epithelium and or ectomesenchyme and its vestigies. They are a wide array of cystic and neoplastic lesions which have been seen in all age groups. There is robust knowledge on the epidemiology of odontogenic tumours in all age groups, however paediatric odontogen...

Background: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) histopathologically represents a heterogeneous lesion with varying proportion of mesenchymal and epithelial tissue. Due to its heterogeneity, identifying various subtypes often presents a diagnostic dilemma. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine and compare the activities of salivary myoepithelial (myo) a...

Objectives: Ameloblastoma is a benign, slow-growing, locally invasive epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin, with unlimited growth capacity and a strong tendency to recur. This multicentric study analyzed ameloblastoma diagnosed in Nigeria among different ethnic groups. Study design: This retrospective study included ameloblastoma cases diagnos...

Objective: Cystic ameloblastoma represent 10-15% of all intra osseous ameloblastomas and appear to be less aggressive than the solid ameloblastomas. The aim of this study was to examine the clinico-pathologic characteristics of cystic ameloblastomas seen at a tertiary health care centre. Materials: All cases diagnosed as cystic ameloblastoma in...

Keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT) is a benign cystic intraosseous tumour of odontogenic origin that is usually solitary except when syndromic. It rarely occurs in the maxilla; therefore a rapidly progressive, nonsyndromic bimaxillary KCOT with locoregional extension poses significant diagnostic and management challenges. To the best of the aut...

Objectives: Salivary gland tumours (SGTs) are a group of heterogeneous lesions with complex clinico-pathological characteristics and distinct biological behaviours. Previous studies have reported geographic variations in site distribution, incidence and histological types of SGTs. The aim of this study was to describe the demography of SGTs seen a...

Clear cell squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare variant of SCC of skin in which ultraviolet radiation has been suggested as possible etiology. This case is that of a 62-year-old male concrete block maker/bricklayer who presented with a 6 months history of a non-healing ulcer on the left side of his face. Histology showed features of malignant ep...
