Head and Neck Pathology
Mixed neuroendocrine–non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) are rare tumors recently characterized by the presence of both neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine components within the same tumor tissue. Although MiNEN found their place in the WHO classification for various organs, this composite tumor in the head and neck region remains exceptionally rare. We present a case of primary oral MiNEN in a 64-year-old male located on the left side of lower gingiva. Biopsy raised suspicion of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and the patient underwent partial mandibulectomy. The resected specimen showed two distinct components of NEC and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with the confirmation of immunohistochemical markers. There has been no sign of recurrence nor metastasis 6 years after the surgery. In addition, we have conducted a review of published cases with potential relevance to this entity, resulting in five cases. The diverse terminology reinforces the need for a standardized classification system of oral/head and neck MiNENs.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is a benign tumor that mainly affects the joints of the fingers and knees, and is considered to be extremely rare in the temporomandibular joint. In this report, we describe a case of localized TSGCT in the temporomandibular joint. The patient, a 48-year-old male, had been suffering from pain in the right temporomandibular joint and right ear for several years, and had been treated by a general practitioner based on a diagnosis of temporomandibular joint arthrosis. CT images showed a soft tissue shadow in the posterior portion of the right mandibular head, but there was no evidence of destruction of the surrounding tissue or mandibular head resorption. MR images showed a nodular lesion between the right-side mandibular head and external auditory canal with low-signal area on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. Two years after the first admission, the patient underwent enucleation of the tumor, and a diagnosis of TSGCT was obtained by histopathological examination. Two years have passed since the surgery. The aperture has remained at 40 mm, with no evidence of recurrence.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of proteins involved in the metabolic process responsible for extending the lifespan. The role of SIRT1, 6, and 7 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral leukoplakia (OLP), one of its precursors, is still elusive. In this study, 82 OLP and 77 OSCC were immunohistochemically examined for SIRT1, 6, and 7. Stained sections were thoroughly scanned and evaluated using a digital image analysis program. The SIRT1, 6, and 7 expressions were detected in the nuclei of epithelial and carcinoma cells in various degrees. Afterward, any correlations among SIRTs, including associations with clinicopathological features and the Kaplan-Meier curves were analyzed. OSCC demonstrated significantly higher SIRT1 expression than OLP, while non-dysplastic lesions showed significantly higher SIRT6 expression than other lesions. A strong correlation was observed between SIRT6 and 7 in OLP, SIRT1 and 6 in in OSCC and in SIRT6 and 7 when all lesion types were considered. There were no significant differences between SIRTs reactivity and the clinical features in OLP. For OSCC, SIRT1 and 6 was found to be directly associated with site of the lesion, while SIRT7 showed a direct relationship between gender, stromal lymphocytic infiltration, and depth of the invasion. OSCC with high SIRT7 expression revealed a slightly lower survival probability, although not statistically significant (p = 0.1019). Our findings suggest that SIRT1, 6, and 7 may play correlated and diverse roles in the development and advancement of OSCC.

... Genetic expression profiling of 34 HNSCC patients and TCGA database both revealed a significant upregulation of SIRT6 in the cancer group [107]. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT6 were also found to be higher in OSCC tissues compared to noncancerous tissues [108]. As the direct target of miR-34a, down-regulation of SIRT6 replicated the pro-differentiation effects of miR-34a [109], thus playing a pivotal role in SCCs. ...

... Joss and Vassalli (2009) found that patients with a low mandibular plane angle have increased vertical relapse, whereas patients with a high mandibular plane angle have more horizontal relapse; advancements in the range of 6-7 mm or more predispose to horizontal relapse. This could be explained by compressive mechanical stress on the anterior surface of the condyle head following mandible advancement, resulting in bone resorption in that region (Nogami et al., 2022). These advancements are usually associated with counterclockwise rotation of the OP in class II patients, with a high incidence of relapse, because the muscles of mastication are lengthened in the ramus area. ...

... Stable isotope analysis showed that HM2-HA-3 had a similar diet to other individuals from the Hamanaka 2 site and other individuals from Hamanaka 2 site displayed little or no calculus deposition (Fig. 2). Abnormally high amounts of calculus deposition could occasionally be seen in modern patients, but the underlying cause is unidentifiable in most cases 55,56 . At least, this individual would not have a routine tooth cleaning habit during the period of calculus deposition. ...

... The anatomical regions most affected by MOR are the posterior mandible and, when it is in soft tissue, the gingiva (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). The clinical symptoms of MOR include pain, swelling, local bleeding due to ulceration and mass formation (4)(5)(6)(7). The predominant primary sites of MOR are the lung, breast and kidney (1,(4)(5)(6)(8)(9)(10)(11). ...

... Ultrasonography is useful to detect cervical lymph nodes (LNs) and guide fine needle aspiration [6]. Due to the high spatial resolution and tissue contrast, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the techniques of choice for primary tumor evaluation and loco-regional staging, with preferential indications for each of them (for example, MRI is preferred over CT to assess skull-base invasion and perineural spread) [2,7]. However, their role in detecting lymph nodes and distant metastases is suboptimal, except for lung metastases that are better detected by chest CT [2,8,9]. ...

... Upon implantation into bone defects, HAP does not form a fibrous tissue interface with the surrounding bone tissue; instead, it develops a carbonate apatite layer on its surface within the body. Consequently, HAP holds immense potential as a hopeful biomaterial for bone repair applications [25]. In the field of biomedical engineering, HAP finds extensive utilization in bone defect repair, including HAP-based bioactive glass composites, HAP-graphene composites, and HAP-polymer composites [26]. ...

... 50 Although existent research has predominantly focused on the distribution of Mg and alloying elements near the implant, with some studies reporting an increased Mg concentration in periimplant tissues, 13,51 there has been few investigations into the systemic accumulation of REE in organs distant from the implant site. 52 Therefore, although we are far from being able to apply biodegradable WE43 implants in significant human long bones, such as the femur, the prospect of employing multiple smaller WE43 implants for fracture repair emphasizes the urgency of comprehensively examining the long-term systemic consequences of REE. ...
