Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

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
Odontogenic Neoplasms
Tumor Biology

Background:

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors (CEOT) are uncommon odontogenic neoplasms, representing about 1% of all such tumors.
The peripheral variant of CEOT is exceptionally rare, with limited case reports in existing literature.
Peripheral CEOTs often present as common oral hyperplastic or reactive lesions, making diagnosis challenging.

Observation:

A rare case of a peripheral calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) was identified in the gingiva of the mandibular posterior region.
The affected patient was a 31-year-old female.
This specific presentation is noteworthy due to the rarity of peripheral CEOTs.

Findings:

This case represents the 23rd reported instance of peripheral calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) in English literature.
A comprehensive literature search on PubMed revealed only 22 previously documented cases.
The histological characteristics of this peripheral CEOT were consistent with its intraosseous counterpart.

Implications:

This case contributes valuable data to the understanding of rare odontogenic tumors.
Accurate diagnosis of peripheral CEOT is crucial, as they can mimic benign oral lesions.
Further research into the etiology and behavior of peripheral CEOTs is warranted.
