Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities, multi- ple Keratocysts Odontogenic (KCOs) and basal cell carcinoma. Comparative studies of the associated KCOs and those not associated with the GGS have been performed, and the presence of a greater number of satellite cysts, solid proliferations of the epithelium, inflammations, calcifications, more intense mitotic activity of the epithelial cells, and greater recurrence of the KCOs associated with the GGS. The purpose of this case report is to provide an objective basis for the therapeutic management of KCOs in patients with GGS and a review of the scientific literature. We present the case of a 63-year-old patient, with a history of GGS, who underwent multiple surgical interventions, including exeresis of KCOs in both jaws, who came to the consultation, nine years after her last ...

Se presenta el caso de un paciente joven inmunocompetente, con antecedente de tuberculosis pulmonar, que acude al hospital por un cuadro clínico subagudo de fiebre persistente, baja de peso, disnea y abolición del murmullo vesicular. La tomografía de tórax mostró un extenso empiema en hemitórax izquierdo. Se le toman muestras para detección de gérmenes comunes y se le colocan un tubo de drenaje torácico y se inicia antibio-ticoterapia. La prueba de MALDI-TOF MS identificó a Parvimonas micra, una bacteria anaerobia, comensal de la flora oral, asociado a periodontitis severa, escasamente reportado en empiema pleural, especialmente, en personas inmunocompetentes. En la evaluación odontológica se realizó el diagnóstico de gingivitis y peri-coronaritis de la tercera molar. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente. Se sugiere que,en casos de empiemas pleurales subagudos o crónicos...

Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive lesion in response to different local factors, including traumatism, caries dental, hormonal imbalance or poor oral hygiene, which produces an inflammatory proliferation of connective tissue. Pyogenic granuloma is frequently located in oral cavity (gums, tongue, hard palate, lips, and floor of mouth) and skin. Clinically, it presents as a vascularized hyperplastic lesion with a slow-growing pedicled or sessile base of variable size and slow growth. Histologically, shows proliferation of endothelial tissue to a vascular network with signs of chronic inflammation and granulation tissue. This case report aims to identify the clinical, imaging and histopathological characteristics of Pyogenic Granuloma with tumor appearance in the oral cavity in an adult patient of the Clínica Dental Docente Cayetano Heredia in 2017. Clinical and histopathological characteri...
