Publication A rare presentation of oral pemphigus vulgaris as multiple pustules(Kathmandu University, 2007) Rimal, J; Sumanth, KN; Ongole, R; George, T; Chatterjee, SAbstract Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering disease affecting the mucous membrane and skin. Ulcers, vesicles, bulla, erosions are the common manifestations of the disease. It is uncommon to find multiple pustular lesions in the oral cavity. Here, we report the first case of multiple pustules involving the lateral borders of tongue, buccal mucosa, hard palate, soft palate, vestibule and the gingiva of a 53 year old male. Histopathologic and Immunofluoroscence study was suggestive of pemphigus vulgaris. The condition improved with systemic corticosteroid along with adjuvant therapy. Key words: pemphigus vulgaris, multiple pustules, immunofluorescence, corticosteroidsPublication Even a Tooth Slips Sometimes(Kathmandu University, 2016) Luitel, A; Rimal, J; Maharjan, IK; Niroula, D; Regmee, PABSTRACT While impaction of a tooth or two in dentoalveolar region is common, ectopic presence of them in non-dentate area is less commonly reported. A 45-year-old female reported to the department with pain on right back teeth region since two days. On examination, grossly decayed 46, root stump 47, missing 48, with poor periodontal status were noted. Panoramic radiograph was advised for screening, which revealed an inverted impacted 48 at the right ramus just below subcondylar region. However, it was an incidental finding and the patient was asymptomatic, she was informed about the pros and the cons of her case and kept under close monitoring.
