Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation01:21

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Summary

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a common gingival tumor. Accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial to differentiate POF from other lesions and prevent recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign gingival neoplasm.
  • It originates from the periodontal ligament, periosteum, or gingival corium.
  • POF has several synonyms, including peripheral fibroma with calcification and ossifying fibrous epulis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 15-year-old female.
  • To highlight the clinical, histopathologic, and radiographic features of POF.
  • To discuss the importance of accurate diagnosis and management of POF.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Clinical examination and patient history.
  • Histopathological and radiographic analysis.

Main Results:

  • The case involved a 15-year-old female with a gingival overgrowth.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma.
  • Radiographic features were consistent with POF.

Conclusions:

  • Peripheral ossifying fibroma requires careful histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis.
  • Differential diagnosis is essential to distinguish POF from other gingival lesions.
  • Understanding POF characteristics aids in effective treatment and management to prevent recurrence.
