A n 11-years-old child attended the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery complaining of a painless tongue lesion two months ago. Besides, he was complaining of oral foreign body sensation. He denied a history of taking drugs and no family history of the same problem. Intraoral clinical examination showed soft, non-tender mass over the dorsum of the tongue with numerous finger-like projections that impart a ”cauliflower” or wart-like appearance. (Panel A). Under local anesthesia, the patient underwent surgical intervention using a 940 nm diode laser, 3W, CW. The lesion was completely removed and sent for histopathological examination that revealed squamous papilloma (Panel B). Squamous papilloma is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium which results in a verrucous or papillary exophytic mass from the intraoral mucosal surface. Mostly, it is seen at the uvula, palate, lips, buccal mucosa, and tongue. The exact etiology is still unknown, but it is associated with human papillomavirus types 6 and 11. The oral squamous papilloma occurs in 1 of every 250 adults. It comprises 7-8% of all pediatric oral lesions. At 6-weeks follow-up (Panel C), there was complete healing with a good functional and aesthetic outcome.

Background: Unilateral mass in the sinonasal region is a common problem facing the otolaryngologist in daily clinical practice. There are various benign and malignant conditions originating in this area with different clinical features depending on their nature and extent. Objectives: To evaluate the types and clinical profile of unilateral sinonasal masses. Materials and methods: This study includes 60 patients who attended the outpatient clinic at Alyarmook Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, between January 2017 and April 2018. A thourough history from each patient was taken. Moreover, the clinical examination was done according to standard clinical practice. The imaging results of the nose and paranasal sinuses were documented. Then biopsy was taken from the mass at the operating room under local or general anesthesia if indicated. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination and the results were documented on the data collection sheet. The patients were divided into two groups: non-neoplastic and neoplastic according to the histopathological results. Results: Out of 60 patients, there were 36 (60%) males. The age of our cases was ranged from 6 to 79 years with a mean age of 34.20 ± 18.126 years. Non-neoplastic causes were (n=38, 63.3%) more than the neoplastic group, and the majority of them were unilateral simple polyp (n=23, 38.3%). Inverted papilloma was the most common benign tumor (n=8, 13.3%), while, squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest malignant neoplasm (n=2, 3.3%). Non-neoplastic causes were more in both sexes. The most affected age group was 20-49 years (n=31, 51.7%). The non-neoplastic causes were mostly seen in the age group 20-49 years (n=22, 36.7%). There was no statistically significant difference between the age and gender and the causes of unilateral sinonasal lesions (P-value > 0.05). Nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, and hyposmia were more in non-neoplastic than neoplastic group. While epistaxis and facial pain were found to be higher in the neoplastic group. Conclusion: Non-neoplastic masses outnumber neoplastic ones. Among non-neoplastic lesions, inflammatory polyps were the most common. Benign neoplasms outnumber the malignant neoplasms with inverted papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma were the most common respectively.

Background: Functional and camouflage orthodontic treatments in cl II malocclusions are different treatment methods that are usually used in orthodontic practice. A comparison of patients’ satisfaction with these two treatment groups is an important tool for the evaluation of treatment outcomes. Objectives: We aimed to compare patients’ satisfaction with orthodontic treatment subjectively (according to the opinion of patients) between functional and camouflage orthodontic treatments in patients with class II malocclusion. Materials and methods: The sample of the study was formed from individuals whose treatments were finished between February 2017 and July 2020 at the Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry at Suleyman Demirel University, Turkey. A satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction of the patients with the treatment process at the end of their treatment. The subjects of the study were selected from 2 genders and a total of 146 cases of average age 11-22 years. The research material consists of a satisfaction questionnaire that was given at the time of treatment end. Results: The general satisfaction questionnaire score was found to be higher in the patients who received functional orthodontic treatment (P-value = 0.011). In the subgroups, the total questionnaire scores among the treatment subgroups were found to be quite similar. Conclusion: In our study, the satisfaction level of the quality of life questionnaire was found to be high, while in response to more specific questions on satisfaction, some departments of the questionnaire found less satisfaction or dissatisfaction in patients.

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic endemic disease in Iraq. It carries considerable complications either related to the disease itself or following its surgical removal. Pleural and pericardial effusion is a rare postoperative complication of hydatid cyst removal. A 65year-old Iraqi female patient complained of right-sided chest heaviness and palpitation one month following surgical removal of 2 large hydatid cysts. There were no other associated symptoms. Physical examination revealed the possibility of pleural and pericardial effusions (poor air entry and stony dullness of the right posterior part of lower zone, difficulty to palpate the apex beat, increase heart dullness, and no pericardial rub). The diagnosis was confirmed by chest X-ray and echocardiogram. She received Albendazole tablet 400 mg twice daily for 6 weeks with a good response. The Early presumption of the disease in an endemic area with a good dose and appropriate course of Albendazole tablets treatment can give very good results. To our best knowledge, this is the first case in the world who presented with hydatid cyst pleural and pericardial effusions and responded completely to the Albendazole tablets.
