The Oral Microbiota

The Oral Microbiota

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Area of Science:

Oral Pathology
Neurosurgical Oncology
Dermatopathology

Background:

Gingival masses can present diagnostic challenges.
Differential diagnosis includes various benign and tumor-like lesions.

Observation:

A 33-year-old woman presented with a slow-growing palatal gingival mass.
Initial differential diagnoses included pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and others.

Findings:

Surgical excision and histopathological examination were performed.
Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of nerve sheath myxoma.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of gingival masses is crucial for appropriate management.
Nerve sheath myxoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of palatal gingival lesions.
Immunohistochemistry aids in differentiating nerve sheath myxoma from similar entities.
