BACKGROUND: Ossifying fibroma (OF) of the craniofacial skeleton is a fibro-osseous lesion characterized by various patterns of bone formation in a cellular fibroblastic stroma. The molecular landscape of OF remains mostly unknown. There are a few known pathogenic abnormalities in OF, including HRPT2 mutations in conventional OF and SATB2 translocations in juvenile psammomatoid OF. On the other hand, conflicting reports exist regarding MDM2 gene amplification and chromosomal copy number alterations (CNA) in OF...

BACKGROUND: Cystic lesions of the gnathic bones present challenges in differential diagnosis. This category includes a smorgasbord of odontogenic and non-odontogenic entities that may be reactive or neoplastic in nature. While most cystic jaw lesions are benign, variability in biologic behavior makes distinction between these entities absolutely crucial. METHODS: Review. RESULTS: Two clinical cases are presented in parallel and are followed by an illustrated discussion of the ten most likely differential diagnoses that should be considered when confronted with a cystic jaw lesion...

BACKGROUND: Ectomesenchymomas (EMs) are extremely rare neoplasms composed of malignant mesenchymal components and neuroectodermal derivatives. They are described in a wide variety of locations, with the head and neck region being one of the most frequently involved areas. EMs are usually managed as high-risk rhabdomyosarcomas and have similar outcomes. METHODS: We present the case of a 15-year-old female with an EM that arose in the parapharyngeal space and extended into the intracranial space...

Abberly Lott Limbach, Deborah J Chute
BACKGROUND: Nested is defined as "cellular clusters arranged in small groupings with intervening vascular or stromal networks, lacking lumens or glandular formation." Using this definition, multiple neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions of the head and neck come into the differential. We have broadly organized the differential diagnosis of "nested" tumors into entities with neuroendocrine differentiation, squamous differentiation, thyroid follicular cell differentiation, and other lesions...

BACKGROUND: Oral ulcers represent a full thickness loss of the mucosal epithelium leading to exposure of the submucosal connective tissue. These are common and usually self-limited lesions, although they may sometimes result from neoplasms, most commonly squamous cell carcinoma. Lymphoproliferative disorders may be difficult to diagnose in apthous ulcers since they mimic reactive inflammation. METHODS: This review presents ten rare oral lymphoid proliferations which should not be missed when assessing oral ulcer biopsies...

REVIEW
Martin J Bullock, Xiaoyin S Jiang
BACKGROUND: Oncocytes are a component of many metaplastic and neoplastic lesions throughout the head and neck area, primarily originating in salivary/seromucinous glands and the thyroid gland. In addition, other lesions can contain cells that mimic oncocytes (pseudo-oncocytes); these can be of epithelial or non-epithelial origin. METHODS: Review article. RESULTS: Oncocytic metaplasia is common in seromucinous glands throughout the upper aerodigestive tract, most notable in the oral cavity, nasopharynx and larynx...

Martina Baněčková, Darren Cox
BACKGROUND: Basaloid neoplasms of the sinonasal tract represent a significant group of tumors with histological overlap but often with different etiologies (i.e., viral, genetics), clinical management, and prognostic significance. METHODS: Review. RESULTS: "Basaloid" generally refers to cells with coarse chromatin in round nuclei and sparse cytoplasm, resembling cells of epithelial basal layers or imparting an "immature" appearance. Tumors with this characteristic in the sinonasal tract are represented by a spectrum of benign to high-grade malignant neoplasms, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, NUT carcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, SWI/SNF complex-deficient carcinomas, and adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma...

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) is a locally aggressive neoplasm of neural crest origin. It is primarily a paediatric tumour, and 95% of the cases occur in children below 1 year. The tumour mainly affects the head and neck region. It shows a predilection for the craniofacial sites and the most common site affected is anterior maxilla. Microscopically, it is characterized by a biphasic population of neuroblastic cells and pigmented epithelial cells. Although generally considered as a benign tumour, it can invade the adjacent muscle and bone, causing destruction of the involved site...

BACKGROUND: Frozen section analysis of oral cancer specimens is ideal for assessing margin distances and depth of invasion (DOI); the latter impacts intraoperative decisions regarding elective neck dissection (END). Here, we show that intraoperative determination of worst pattern of invasion (WPOI), specifically WPOI-5, has a high level of accuracy. This relates to our demonstration herein that WPOI-5 predicts occult cervical metastases (OCM) for pT1 oral squamous carcinoma (OSC). METHODS: The presence of OCM was correlated with WPOI in 228 patients with primary T1/T2/cN0 OSC undergoing resection and END...

BACKGROUND: Sinonasal adenosquamous carcinoma is rare, and there are almost no studies detailing morphology or characterizing their genetic driver events. Further, many authors have termed sinonasal tumors with combined squamous carcinoma and glands as mucoepidermoid carcinoma but none have analyzed for the presence of MAML2 rearrangement. METHODS: Cases from 2014 to 2020 were collected and diagnosed using World Health Organization criteria. They were tested for p16 expression by immunohistochemistry (70% cut-off), DEK::AFF2 fusion by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and AFF2 immunohistochemistry, MAML2 rearrangement by FISH, and low- and high-risk HPV by RNA ISH and reverse transcription PCR, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Secretory myoepithelial carcinomas (SMCA) are rare, mucinous, signet ring predominant tumors with primitive myoepithelial features. While many mucinous salivary gland tumors have now been molecularly characterized, key drivers in SMCA have yet to be elucidated. Recently, NKX3.1, a homeodomain transcription factor implicated in salivary mucous acinar development was also shown in a subset of salivary mucinous neoplasms, salivary intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (SG-IPMN)...
