Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm.
  • CEOT typically occurs in the mandible but can present in atypical locations.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • This article reports a rare case of CEOT in an unusual site, the maxilla.
  • The case highlights the importance of characteristic cytologic and radiologic features.
  • The tumor exhibited typical histopathologic findings of CEOT.

Findings:

  • Characteristic cytologic findings include ghost cells and calcifications.
  • Radiologic features such as well-defined radiolucencies with internal calcifications are indicative of CEOT.

Published on: August 15, 2025

  • Histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis with features like stratified squamous epithelium and amyloid-like material.

    • Implications:

    • Preoperative diagnosis of CEOT, even at atypical sites, can be achieved through combined cytologic and radiologic analysis.
    • This aids surgeons in planning appropriate surgical management.
    • Understanding the behavior and presentation of CEOT at unusual sites improves patient outcomes.
