Odontogenic cysts (OCs) are etiologically diverse conditions with a shared origin in the jaws. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of published data regarding OC frequency, treatment, and follow-up information in Saudi Arabia, especially from tertiary centers. Objectives: The study aims to assess the relative frequency, clinicopathological features, treatment, and follow-up of OCs in three tertiary medical centers. Methods and Material: OCs were identified from King Abdulaziz Medical City, King Fahad Medical City, and Prince Sultan Military Medical City from January 2010 to December 2021. Results: Three hundred and seventy-two cases of OCs were identified from the archive of three medical centers in Riyadh; one hundred and forty-nine (40%) cases were retrieved from Prince Sultan Military Medical City. The mean age of all OCs was 32 years (range 2–90), with 225 (60.4%) cases occurring in males. There was an almost equal distribution of OCs between the maxilla (47.0%) and the mandible (53.0%). The apical radicular cyst (ARC) accounted for half of the cases, followed by dentigerous cyst (DC) (29.3%) and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) (14.2%). Enucleation was the most common treatment modality (52.8%), followed by excision (35.0%). Thirteen cases showed recurrence: one ARC, four DCs, and eight OKCs. Conclusion: This is the first large multicenter study of OCs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All three centers showed that ARC was the most common, followed by DC and OKC.

Medulloblastomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors in childhood. They are responsible for around 20–40% of all brain tumors in children. They rarely occur in adulthood, but here they only make up less than 1% of all brain tumors. The standard therapy consists of an operation in combination with radiation and chemotherapy, which are individually determined for the patient. In this article, we discuss a case of 47 years old female patient diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis since 1 year. After 3 months of the diagnosis, she deteriorated and became unable to walk. MRI showed a large patchy enhancing midline cerebellar mass with evolving hydrocephalus. Tumor expressed positive reaction with synaptophysin immunohistochemical stain rendering medulloblastoma diagnosis.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare condition characterized by the proliferation of non-Langerhans cell histiocytes that are associated with phagocytosed lymphocytes (emperipolesis). Clinically, it is classified into nodal, extra-nodal, neoplasia-associated RDD, and immune-related. Here, we present a case of a 65 -year-old female who presented with facial pain following a dental procedure with no focal neurologic deficit. The MRI of the head and neck showed a well-defined lobulated soft tissue lesion with homogenous enhancement over the left cheek. Excision of the lesion was done, and the histopathological study reported extra-nodal RDD with features of IgG4-related sclerosing disease. The patient had no recurrence over the two years from the date of diagnosis.

We report a case of an 84-year-old female with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 20 years previously who presented with small bowel obstruction. Computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast showed a large mass in the mesentery of the small bowel. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, and segmental resection of 25 cm of small bowel with the mesenteric mass was performed. The histopathological features were suggestive of recurrent adenocarcinoma of Mullerian origin. The patient was offered palliative chemotherapy and referred to oncology and palliative care as a part of multidisciplinary treatment.
