    Notes: Three odontogenic myxomas are described immunohistochemically by a panel of poly- and monoclonal antibodies to characterize this tumor type. Three types of odontogenic myxoma cells were discriminated: spindle cells, stellate cells and hyaline cells. Neoplastic cells of myxomas were positively stained for transferrin, ferritin. alpha- 1-antichymotrypsin (α1-ACT), alpha- 1-antitrypsin (α1-AT), S-100 protein and vimentin; however, neuron specific enolase (NSE), S-100 α subunit, S-100 β subunit, Factor VIII-related antigen (FVIII-AG) and cytokeratin (CK1) were negative. Spindle cells were positive for transferrin, ferritin, α1-ACT, α1-AT, S-100 protein and vimentin. Stellate cells were strongly positive for transferrin, α1-AT, S-100 protein and vimentin. Hyaline cells reacted with α1-ACT and α1-AT. Myxomatous matrix showed negative reaction for all the antibodies used. These results have confirmed that odontogenic myxoma is a tumor of a dual fibroblastic-histiocytic origin.

    Notes: Silver-binding nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) were counted in sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Thirty-nine cases, that comprised poor prognostic group (n= 19) and good prognostic group (n= 20), were examined with respect to the relation between AgNOR counts and histologic grading, and correlation between AgNOR counts and prognosis. The pooled mean AgNOR counts were: Grade 1 carcinomas, 6.39 ±1.67 (mean ± SD; n= 35); Grade 2, 9.74 ± 1.72 (n= 3). Mean AgNOR count of Grade 3 was 6.19 ± 2.37 (n= 1). The pooled mean AgNOR count in poor prognostic group was higher than that in good prognostic group. Five-year survival rate of the cases with high AgNOR counts (≥ 6.5) was significantly lower than that with low AgNOR counts (〈 6.5). High AgNOR counts are highly suggestive of poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

    Notes: The congenital gingival granular cell tumor (CGGT) or congenital epulis is a rare lesion of unknown origin found only in newborn infants. The tumor consists mainly of large eosinophilic granular cells arranged in solid nests that are separated by thin fibrovascular areas. In addition, there are some spindle-shaped cells and medium-sized polygonal cells (so-called interstitial cells) among the neoplastic granular cells. Three CGGTs were investigated with a panel of poly- and monoclonal antibodies, using immunoperoxidase methods on formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections. Neoplastic granular cells of these three cases show cytoplasmic staining for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and vimentin. However, all other reactions were negative. Our results suggest that the lesion may be derived from uncommitted nerve-related mesenchymal cells. On the other hand, interstitial cells show strong S-100 protein-, cytokeratin-, vimentin-, and NSE-immunostainings, and these cells are consistent with neuroendocrine nature. The presence of a biphasic cell population with granular cells and interstitial cells must be considered the main immunohistochemical feature.

    Notes: Immunohistochemical localization of S-100 protein, S-100 a and β subunits was examined in 23 pigmented nevi, 20 malignant melanomas and 8 metastatic melanomas originating from the oral mucosa and skin. Primary oral mucosal melanomas demonstrated no β subunit immunoreactivity while one metastatic lesion from oral melanoma that showed only a small number of melanoma cells reacted with the β subunit. In contrast, most cutaneous melanomas and their metastatic lesions showed immunoreaction with the S-100 β subunit. As for pigmented nevi. immunoreactions with the three antibodies were frequently detected regardless of the site. The differences in the expression of S-100 protein β subunit between cutaneous and mucosal melanomas may be related to differences in inductive interactions between the melanoma cells and the connective tissues in skin and mucosa.

    Notes: The clinical, morphologic and immunohistochemical features of 10 cases of the low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of salivary glands are described. Although the initial histologic diagnosis in nine of these cases was myoepithelial sialadenitis, the diagnosis of primary salivary gland MALT lymphoma was based on the demonstration of light chain restriction and on morphologic characteristics. Histologic study showed a characteristic cytology, which included centocytoid cells (composed of small centrocytes and monocytoid B cells) and a varying degree of plasma cell differentiation; the occurrence of epithelial or acinar invasion by neoplastic centrocytoid cells; and the presence of reactive lymph follicles among the neoplastic cells. Furthermore, multinucleate giant cells resembling Warthin-Finkeldey cells were detected in seven cases. In the light of these findings, cases previously diagnosed as myoepithelial sialadenitis require careful assessment and nine out of 32 cases are, in reality, examples of primary salivary gland MALT lymphomas. Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin sections revealed the following characteristic immunophenotype of Malt lymphoma: L26, KiB3 and LN2 positive, and a monotypic immunoglobulin pattern (predominantly IgM/K). It was of interest that salivary gland parenchyma, infiltrated by neoplastic centrocytoid cells, reacted with LN3 for cells expressing human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) antigens. Whereas salivary gland epithelia devoid of a neoplastic invasion were invariably negative for LN3. This suggests a lymphocyte-mediated role in salivary epithelial HLA-DR expression. It appears that HLA-DR expression is an inducible phenomenon in MALT lymphomas of salivary gland.

    Notes: Abstract We report two cases of osteoblastoma, one of them an unusual case in a 32-year-old woman in whom a maxillary tumor was confidently diagnosed as an osteoblastoma at the time of primary excision and subsequently transformed into an osteosarcoma 7 years after the onset of clinical symptoms. The other patient developed osteosarcoma arising in the maxilla, which was diagnosed 3 years after the primary excision and is very suggestive of malignant transformation in osteoblastoma. We present the radiological features, including computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging studies, of this unusual event of transformed tumor and compare imaging features of benign and dedifferentiated counterparts of this rare tumor complex.

    Notes: Abstract The present paper describes the radiological features, including CT, of a case of cherubism followed for a relatively long period. The case demonstrated the active phase of the lesion, which progressed from grade 1 to grade 3 during a 6 year period. The radiographic signs, such as increased radiolucency, inflammatory signs and root resorption as well as laboratory data seemed to be important to diagnose the stage of cherubism and to predict the clinical course of the disease.

    Notes: Abstract Fifty-six patients with maxillary and mandibular osteomyelitis were investigated radiologically and histopathologically. The radiographic changes were classified into 5 patterns: osteolytic, mixed, sclerosing, sequestrum and irregular trabeculation patterns. Osteomyelitis was classified into 3 histological types, based on the amount of bony trabeculae present. Type I bone consisted of severely sclerotic bone, type II bone had coarse trabeculae with fibrotic marrow spaces. In contrast, type III bone had thin trabeculae with occasional osteoblastemata. The correlations between the radiographic and histological patterns and differences between acute and chronic cases were examined. Acute cases were often of the osteolytic or sequestrum patterns, and had type I or II bone. Type II bone was the most common, and was found in all radiographic types. Type III bone was frequently seen in cases with an osteolytic or mixed radiographic pattern. It seemed that severely sclerotic bone with narrowed or occluded Haversian canals (type I bone) tended to develop following acute infection. A possible explanation of the relationship of 5 radiographic types is also discussed.
