This case report describes CBCT findings of periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia (PCOD) in a 45-year-old woman. CBCT imaging revealed a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion extending from the right lateral incisor to the left lateral incisor. Axial and cross-sectional CBCT images showed expansion and thinning of the buccal cortex in two areas. 3D reconstructed images showed erosion of the buccal and lingual cortices. Based on the radiographic and clinical features, PCOD was diagnosed and no treatment was required, only periodic follow-up. CBCT provided improved visualization of the lesion compared to conventional radiography for diagnosis.

Chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the left zygomatic bone rare case report and ...Prashant Munde
Chondroblastic osteosarcoma (COS), a subgroup of intramedullary
osteosarcoma (OS), is the most common osteosarcoma that occurs in
adolescents and early adulthood. The COS has similar clinical and radiological
features to those of conventional OS. We present a case of 20‑year‑old male
patient with the chief complaint of pain and swelling in the left zygomatic region.
The computed tomography (CT) and three‑dimensional (3D) CT face showed
erosion, calcific foci, sunray type of spicules suggestive of OS. On fine‑needle
aspiration cytology (FNAC) examination, initial diagnosis was malignant
chondroid lesion, with differential diagnosis of mesenchymal chrondrosarcoma,
COS on incisional biopsy and finally COS on excisional biopsy. The patient
underwent radical resection of left zygomatic arch, followed by chemotherapy.
Although clinically unsuspected in this unusual site, histopathology along with
immunohistochemistry (IHC) results confirmed the COS. Because zygomatic
location of COS is very rare, this report aimed to discuss clinical, radiographic,
histopathologic, IHC findings and diagnostic pitfalls of COS in light of the
literature.

An Unusual Presentation of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Bilateral Temporal Bones by Titas Kar in Experiments in Rhinology & Otolaryngology
Squamous cell carcinoma of temporal bone is a rare entity, comprising of a very small percentage of all head neck tumours, mostly occurring in aged population. Bilateral presentation of tumours in both temporal bones is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported. We report a case of bilateral squamous cell carcinoma of both temporal bones in a young adult male patient who presented very late.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. INTRODUCTION
Cemento-osseous dysplasia- most common fibro-osseous lesion faced in
clinical practice and affects the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws.
Three subtypes according to its clinical and radiographic features:
o Periapical,
o Focal,
o Florid.
Eversole R, ElMofty S. Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the
craniofacial complex. A review. Head Neck Path.
2008;2:177–202.
3. PCOD- ”a non-neoplastic lesion affecting the periapical tissues of one or
more teeth”, which therefore does not subclassify this lesion according to
any defined location”
Synonyms-Cementoma/fibrocementoma/ periapical osteofibrosis/
periapical fibrous dysplasia/ periapical fibroosteoma
Benign lesion arising from undifferentiated cells of the periodontal
ligament tissues.
It is a localized change in normal bone metabolism that results in
components of normal cancellous bone with fibrous tissue and
cementumlike material, abnormal bone or mxture of both.
4. FCOD- “localized fibro-osseous cemental lesions-presumably reactive in
nature”
FL.COD-“When lesions with radiologic and microscopic features similar to
FCOD extend to two or more quadrants of the jaw, the disease is termed.
Also called as florid osseous dysplasia, giagntiform cementoma, and
familial multiple cementomas.
Eversole R, ElMofty S. Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial
complex. A review. Head Neck Path. 2008;2:177–202.
5. Periapical and florid types are generally most appropriately diagnosed on
the basis of the clinical and radiographic features.
The focal type requires a biopsy to establish a definitive diagnosis.
Etiology and pathogenesis are unknown.
These lesions become more radiopaque with time; large calcified masses
become a characteristic histologic feature.

8. Clinical features of PCOD
PCOD occurs most commonly in the anterior mandible of patients older
than 30 years of age.
There is a significant tendency toward female patients and approximately
70% of cases affect blacks.
PCOD is asymptomatic and the involved teeth are vital.
It shows three different features according to its stage.
First stage or osteolytic stage- circular or elliptical resorption areas are
seen in the lesion.
Second stage/ cementoblastic stage/mixed stage- small calcifications are
seen within the lesion.
Final or mature stage- completely radiopaque lesion.

occurrence in multiple maxillary and mandibular teeth.
J Endod. 1984;10:455–456.
9. Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia generally does not cause cortical bone expansion
or perforation.
The diagnosis of PCOD can be made on the basis of the appropriate radiological and
clinical characteristics.
Commonly, no treatment is required and only regular follow-up examinations are
advised.
If the teeth have been removed and if considerable atrophy of the alveolar ridge has
occurred,these segments of cementum may reach the mucosal surface,much in the
same way as stones become become exposed in old, worn concrete.
It sould be removed surgically when comes under denture.

11. (CBCT) is a new medical imaging technique that generates 3-D images at a
lower cost and absorbed dose compared with conventional computed
tomography (CT).
This imaging technique is based on a coneshaped X-ray beam centred on
a 2-D detector that performs one rotation around the object, producing a
series of 2-D images.
These images are re-constructed in 3-D using a modification of the
original cone-beam algorithm developed by Feldkamp et al. in 1984.
Images of the craniofacial region are often collected with a highe
resolution than those collected with a conventional CT.
12. Case report
A 45-year-old Iranian woman was referred to the private clinic in the
city of Hamadan for implant consultation.
Her past medical history was not notable, and there was no evidence
of systemic disease and no history of trauma to the mandible.
In the extra-oral examination, no abnormal symptoms were observed.
Intra-oral examination revealed normal oral mucosa, the absence of
soft tissue expansion, and teeth of a normal color. Periodontal tissues
were normal. All of the teeth were asymptomatic, with no pain or
tenderness on percussion or palpation. The involved teeth were vital in
an electric stimulation test.

Review of the literature
22. All of the cemento-osseous dysplasias occur in tooth-bearing areas.
Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia has been previously referred to as
cementoma, periapical cementoma, periapical cemental dysplasia, and
periapical fibrous dysplasia.
PCOD is a reasonably well-defined clinical-radiological entity,
predominantly involving the apical areas of vital mandibular incisors.
WHO definition of PCOD, is “a non-neoplastic lesion affecting the
periapical tissues of one or more teeth”, which therefore does not
subclassify this lesion according to any defined location (i.e.: anterior vrs
posterior apical areas of jaws).
23. Subtypes of cemento-osseous dysplasia
(COD)

Endod. Aug 2013; 38(3): 160–166.
24. Alsufyani NA, Lam EW. Osseous (cemento-osseous) dysplasia of the
jaws: clinical and radiographic analysis. J Can Dent Assoc. 2011;77:b70
Alsufyani and Lam reviewed the clinical and radiographic characteristics of 118
patients with COD.
They showed that 71.6% of 118 patients had no cortical expansion, 76% had intact
lamina dura, and 93% had a normal periodontal ligament space. None of them
had mandibular cortical plate destruction.
In the radiolucent-radiopaque mixed stage and the radiopaque stage, the
differential diagnosis might include chronic sclerosing
osteomyelitis, cementoossifying fibroma, odontoma, cementoblastoma, and
osteoblastoma
In many COD cases that have been misdiagnosed and/or mismanaged, the
lesions were identified in their early stages as a periapical rarefying
osteitis such as Periapical abscess, granuloma, or cyst
Vitality tests are especially important for differential diagnosis.
25. As PCOD is asymptomatic, treatment is usually not needed
because development and maturation of the lesion is self-limiting.
Intervention may cause secondary infection of the cementum-like
radiopacities, which may in turn induce osteomyelitis in these
lesions.

osseous dysplasia. Radiographic study with special emphasis on computed
tomography. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1994;78:391–396.
High density mass in PCOD which is centered in low density area is
different from findings of calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor in which
calcification is observed at or near the cyst wall.
Cemento-ossifying fibroma has more obvious concentric buccolingual
expansion on multiplanar CBCT image.
By using CBCT discrimination of PCOD from these lesions that
exhibit similar internal calcification on conventional
radiography, would be more accurate.
27. Conclusions
This case highlights the importance of appropriate diagnosis
in cases that are difficult to diagnose, such as PCOD, in order
to avoid unnecessary invasive root canal therapy.
This case was considered as no treatment with only periodic
follow-up check.
