Artigo Glandular odontogenic cyst: case report and review of diagnostic criteria(2011) Morais, Hécio Henrique Araújo de; Vasconcellos, Ricardo José de Holanda; Santos, Thiago de Santana; Queiroz, Lelia Maria Guedes; Silveira, Ericka Janine DantasThe glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon jaw bone cyst of odontogenic origin with unpredictable and potentially aggressive behaviour. It also has the propensity to grow to a large size and tendency towards recurrence. GOC can be easily misdiagnosed microscopically as a central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. This paper reports a case of GOC in a 56-year-old male and reviews the main criteria for accurate diagnosis. The diagnosis of GOC can be extremely difficult due to the rarity of the cyst and lack of clear diagnostic criteria.Artigo Septic arthritis of the TMJ: a case report(Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic, 2016-06) Morais, Hécio Henrique Araújo de; Peixoto, Tony Santos; Barbalho, Jimmy Charles; Dias, Tasiana Guedes de Sousa; Vasconcellos, Ricardo José de Holanda; Lucena, Eudes Euler de SouzaSeptic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an uncommon condition; thus, reports in the specialized literature are still scarce. The TMJ may be affected by extension of a local infectious process, by post-traumatic hematoma, or secondarily, by hematogenous spread. Septic arthritis is more common in the large joints, with the knee and hip most frequently affected. It is characterized by insidious onset and a marked inflammatory process, and is monoarticular in 80% of cases. The present report describes the case of a 6-year-old boy with a history of rheumatoid arthritis who presented with pain, swelling, and redness in the right TMJ region, as well as limited jaw opening, closure, and lateral excursion bilaterally. The differential diagnosis and treatment of this rare clinical entity are described. Aspects concerning antibiotic therapy and imaging studies are also addressed
