There are several developmental cysts derived from embryonic structures or faults in their remnants located in oro-facial region. Nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is the most common of all the developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic cysts of the maxilla. This cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. The cells could be...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma characterized by the proliferation of spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern. Here we report a case of DFSP presenting as a bluish-black atrophic plaque. The tumor had the histopathologic characteristics of both the pigmented and atrophic variants of DFSP. We describe the h...
The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental cyst that was described in 1988 by Gardner, et al. This lesion demonstrates non-specific clinical course and radiological findings. Hence, often confused with other lesions, but specific histopathlogical features help in establishing its correct diagnosis. This article presents a rare cas...

It constitutes 3.1% of malignant bone tumours and 5% of extranodal lymphomas, and the incidence is only 0.6% in the jaws. These tumours can be primary or secondary (in the disseminated form...
