Masson's tumor, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is a rare benign vascular lesion characterized by an abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells within blood vessels, forming papillary structures that can occur in various parts of the body, including the parotid gland. Masson's etiology and risk factors remain unclear, but trauma and vascular pathological conditions may contribute to tumor progression. Despite its benign nature, Masson's tumor can present diagnostic challenges due to its variable clinical presentation and the need to differentiate it from other vascular lesions and malignancies. This case report presents a rare occurrence of Masson's tumor in the parotid gland of a 39-year-old female patient, along with a comprehensive review of the existing literature of this unusual presentation.

Hydatidosis is one of the most well-known zoonotic infections affecting the liver or brain, prevalent worldwide. Dogs are the most well-known intermediate hosts that affect humans. Humans can also contract the disease and become accidental intermediate hosts. While it is rare in the head and neck region, hydatidosis can manifest as either multiloculated or uniloculated lesions. The management of these cases presents significant challenges in maxillofacial surgery. Understanding the diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis of head and neck hydatidosis is crucial. Even with advancements in medical technology, diagnosis and treating these infections continues to be a complex as these conditions can arise unexpectedly during a clinicians practice. This case report highlights the significance of clinical presentation, thorough history taking, histopathologic examination, and management plans. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who presented to our clinic with orbital proptosis and vertical orbital dystopia and was diagnosed with a hydatid cyst with an aim to help practitioners better understand and diagnose head and neck zoonotic diseases while promoting careful management practices.

Sickle cell disease is a genetic hemoglobinopathy that has the potential to affect any organ of the body. Patients with sickle disease have high morbidity and mortality creating safety concerns among patients and physicians about surgery in this subset of population. Factors that predispose SCD patient to complications are divided into patient-related and surgery-related factors. Patient factors associated with increased complication rate include the type and severity of SCD.
Orthognathic surgery involves osteotomies, major movement of upper or lower jaw that, although safe, have the potential of list of complications in healthy individuals. Therefore, complications are expected to be higher in SCD population. This complicates the decision of surgery and mandates careful perioperative management.

Percutaneous tracheostomy is a common procedure that can be performed bedside by intensivists. The widespread adoption of bronchoscopy and ultrasound have also been utilized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), leading to the decline of conventional surgical tracheotomy. Percutaneous tracheotomy is thought to have several advantages over conventional tracheotomy. These include a smaller skin incision, less dissection and tissue trauma, and fewer wound complications. Long term complications have also been reported less frequently. One of the possible complications of performing these procedures is innominate artery injury, considered a rare but lethal injury. Injury to the innominate artery occurs in multiple different manners, including blunt, penetrating, or iatrogenic trauma.
We report a case of percutaneous tracheostomy complicated by injury to the innominate artery, requiring a conversion to an emergent open surgical tracheostomy. This case report illustrates the potentially fatal complication from performing a percutaneous tracheostomy, highlights the causes and management of innominate artery injury, and provides review of the literature this rare and uncommon complication.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) typically manifest with symptoms and signs such as pain, mandibular movement, dysfunction, or joint sounds. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX/A) is a biological toxin that inhibits the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This toxin is used to treat hyperactivity of masseter muscles and TMD symptoms. This case report aimed to investigate the effects of BTX/A injection in the masseter and lateral pterygoid muscles of a patient with painful symptoms of TMDs via electromyography (EMG), with a follow-up of six months post-treatment. During each visit, the clinical effects, which were evaluated based on pain intensity (NPRS), the bruxism questionnaire, and maximum mouth opening, were evaluated at five-time points, pre-injection and 2, 6, 12, and 24 weeks after the injection. Based on this case report, there was a clear improvement in the studied parameters, with a significant decrease in the electromagnetic activity of the injected muscles as shown by EMG; thus, BTX/A can be considered an effective treatment to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life in patients with TMDs of muscular origin, relying on EMG as an effective diagnostic tool and for subsequent evaluation of treatment results.

Introduction
and importance: Giant cell granuloma (GCG) is a begnin tumor usually occurring in the mandible or maxilla. Clinical presentation can vary from small peripheral GCG to aggressive central GCG for which a surgical procedure can damage functional structures and have a poor aesthetic outcome. Alternative therapies are of essential interest in those cases, as a monomodal treatment modality or as a neoadjuvant therapy.
Case presentation
We herein present a case of aggressive central GCG in a 11 year old infant with a suspected pycnodysostosis treated with neoadjuvant intralesional injections of corticosteroids. Impressive reduction of the lesion was observed and the patient underwent surgical curretage of the remaining mass. The GCG recurred 7 months after surgery and the patient benefited from the same treatment plan. No sign of recurrence was observed after 29 months. The case has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria.(1)
Clinical discussion
GCGs commonly occur in a young population making the conditions management challenging in the maxillofacial region because of its anatomical relationship with vital and functional structures as well as the associated deformity risk. Different medical therapies have been described such as corticosteroid injections, biphosphonates, interferon alpha and calcitonin with a various degrees of success.
Conclusion
Surgery is the gold standard in treating GCGs, however alternative therapies should be discussed in the management of extensive lesions.

The following case report details the presentation of a left maxillary painless expansile lesion in a five-year-old female that was proven to be desmoplastic fibroma (DF) of the maxilla, which was treated via a conservative excision. Given the paucity of DF cases in the Maxillofacial literature, there are no formally agreed-upon guidelines for the treatment of DF, especially in the maxillary sinus. A thorough review of the literature was completed and discussed, highlighting the correlation of DF with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and the proposed treatment when encountered in the maxillary sinus of a pediatric patient.

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare, malignant tumor primarily affecting the mandible in middle-aged women, known to be highly recurrent post-surgery. A 56-year-old female, with an initial diagnosis of ameloblastoma based on radiological findings, had her diagnosis revised to CCOC at Ghent University Hospital after histopathological analysis and EWSR1::CREB1 gene fusion confirmation. Despite undergoing a Brown-Shah IID maxillectomy, radical neck dissection, and fibula flap reconstruction, she faced a recurrence within a year, complicated by an Aspergillus fumigatus infection requiring antifungal treatments and debridements. Diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical markers p40, p63, CK5, SMA, Calponin, and S-100. Additionally, over 80 % of CCOC cases show EWSR1 gene rearrangements. Treatment includes surgical resection and fibula free flap reconstruction. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be beneficial in cases with compromised margins or positive lymph nodes. Prophylactic antifungal treatment is recommended for at-risk patients. The complex nature of CCOC requires thorough follow-up and potentially adjuvant therapies.

Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon, benign neoplasm that tends to recur because it locally invades or is trapped among the bony trabeculae. It is thought to arise from mesenchymal tissue associated with teeth and periodontium, as it develops in the tooth-bearing area of the jawbones, often in proximity to an unerupted tooth. Occasionally it may displace teeth. Those occurring in the maxilla often invade the maxillary sinuses. We report here a rare case of an odontogenic myxoma of the maxillary sinus associated with an ectopic tooth which was impinging on the nasal mucosa and accordingly was extracted through the nose.
