Summary
A 45-year-old male had an asymptomatic mandibular mass. Incisional biopsy revealed significant bleeding, suggesting a vascular lesion requiring further investigation.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- A 45-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of an asymptomatic right mandibular mass.
- The mass extended from the mandibular angle to the premolar region.
Observation:
- Panoramic radiography showed an ill-defined, unilocular radiolucency in the affected mandible.
- The patient had a history of molar extractions and antibiotic treatment.
Findings:
- An incisional biopsy was performed, which encountered considerable bleeding.
- The excessive bleeding during biopsy suggests a potentially vascular nature of the mandibular lesion.
Implications:
- The findings necessitate further diagnostic workup to determine the exact nature of the mandibular mass.
- Management strategies should consider the potential vascularity and the need for specialized surgical techniques.
- Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for successful outcomes in managing mandibular pathologies.

01:19Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology
Cortisol production is normally governed by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which maintains hormonal balance through tightly regulated feedback mechanisms. Disruption of this regulatory system is central to the development of Cushing syndrome, whether the excess cortisol originates from external medications or internal pathology. Persistent cortisol elevation alters metabolism, immune function, and endocrine signaling, producing the characteristic clinical features of the...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major chronic disorders—ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease—each characterized by relapsing episodes of gastrointestinal inflammation. Although they share certain clinical features, their patterns of involvement and manifestations differ in ways that aid diagnosis and guide management.Ulcerative ColitisUlcerative colitis is limited to the colon and rectum and involves continuous inflammation of the mucosal layer. The disease course is marked...
