Abstract

Oral focal mucinosis is a rare clinicopathological entity that represents the mucosal counterpart of cutaneous focal mucinosis or cutaneous myxoid cyst. The aetiology is unknown. Oral focal mucinosis is most common in young adults. The gingiva is the most common site and the hard palate is the second most common location. A 19-year-old male patient presented with a 2 cm painless mass localized to the palatal side. An excisional biopsy was taken and sent for histopathologic evaluation to our department. Histopathologic findings were a well-circumscribed lesion composed of myxomatous connective tissue that contained bipolar, fusiform or stellate shaped fibroblasts. The aim of this study was to bring oral focal musinosis diagnosis to the attention of clinicians and pathologists when considering the differential diagnosis of gingival and palatal nodules.

Özet

Oral fokal müsinozis, ender görülen klinikopatolojik bir antite olup, kutanöz fokal müsinozis veya kutanöz miksoid kistin mukozadaki karşılığıdır. Etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Genellikle genç erişkinlerde meydana gelir. Lokalizasyon olarak en sık dişetinde, ikinci sıklıkta sert damakta görülür. 19 yaşında erkek hasta; sert damakta yerleşim gösteren, ağrısız 2 cm çapında kitle ile kliniğe başvurdu. Eksizyonel biyopsi uygulandı ve histopatolojik inceleme için bölümümüze gönderildi. Mikroskopik incelemede, düzgün sınırlı miksomatöz bir bağ dokusu içinde bipolar, fusiform ya da yıldızsı biçimde fibroblastlardan oluşan lezyon izlendi. Bu olgu sunumu ile dişeti ve palatinal bölgedeki nodüler lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında oral fokal müsinozis tanısının da klinisyenler ve patologlar tarafından akılda tutulması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
