Publication A Large Dermoid Cyst in the Floor of the Mouth(Kathmandu University, 2018) Upadhyaya, C; Paunju, N; Chaurasia, N; Srii, RABSTRACT The dermoid cyst in the floor of mouth is considered to bea rare condition which comprises only 1.6 to 6.5% of all body dermoid cysts. Dermoid cyst in the floor of mouth may be congenital or acquired. The congenital form results from defective embryonic development and the acquired form may be due to traumatic or iatrogenic causes; and as a result of the occlusion of a sebaceous gland duct. We report an unusual case of huge dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth in a 12 year old male who presented with progressively increasing swelling below his tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.

To give appropriate clinical diagnosis, clinicians must be well aware of the presentation and demographic information of the lesion including the rare ones. Histopathology is still considered as gold standard in diagnostic pathology but final diagnosis becomes difficult unless detailed clinical and radiological descriptions are given. Hence an interdisciplinary approach is needed which requires correlation between both clinical and pathological details. Objective To analyze the clinicopathological details of all the oral lesions diagnosed in Dhulikhel hospital within the period of two years and to assess the concordance between clinical and histopathological diagnosis of these lesions. Method Laboratory record file of all the oral lesions diagnosed between January 2016 to December 2017 were retrieved from the department archives and the data were collected. The extracted data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. Result A total of 237 cases were analysed in the present study. Odontogenic cysts were the most common category followed by benign lesions. However considering the individual lesion, mucocele was the commonest lesion followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Total concordance between clinical and histopathologic diagnosis was found in 56.5% cases. The most clinicopathological agreement was seen for benign lesions followed by malignant lesions. Conclusion Mucocele and oral squamous cell carcinoma are the two most common lesions found among the patients visiting our hospital. The cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma are on a rise with each subsequent year. At present, though it is the second most common entity, it can be hypothesized that it may be higher up on the list. Therefore, oral healthcare awareness is paramount and this may be one of the best ways to reduce the oral cancer incidence rates and lowering the healthcare management burden.

These types of malocclusion are commonly treated by orthodontic teeth movement known as camouflage orthodontics. However severe skeletal malocclusions cannot be treated by orthodontics alone. Such cases need surgical intervention to align the position of the jaw along with orthodontic correction. This procedure is commonly known as Orthognathic Surgery. Orthognathic Surgery dates back to early eighteenth century but became popular on mid twentieth century. Though the prevalence of skeletal malocclusion is more than 1% the treatment facility was not available in Nepal till 2012. Here we present a case of Skeletal Class III malocclusion treated at Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital. For this case, double jaw surgery was performed by le-Fort I osteotomy and Bilateral Sagital Split Osteotomy. Orthognathic surgery has been routinely performed at this centre since then.
