Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Classification of Leukocytes01:30

Classification of Leukocytes

Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Oral Pathology
  • Neonatal Medicine

Background:

  • Congenital granular cell tumor (epulis) is a rare, benign soft tissue lesion in newborns.
  • Typically originating from the gingival mucosa of the alveolar ridge, it can present significant feeding or respiratory challenges.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 1-hour-old female infant presenting with a congenital granular cell tumor on the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge.
  • The tumor was identified as the cause of a feeding problem in the neonate.

Findings:

  • The congenital granular cell tumor was surgically excised under general anesthesia when the infant was 1 day old.
  • The procedure successfully addressed the feeding difficulties caused by the lesion.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing congenital granular cell tumors.
  • This case highlights the importance of prompt treatment to prevent complications and ensure infant well-being.
