There was preservation of the cortex of the maxillary sinus and maxillary alveolus (Figures 2, 3 and 5) as well as preserved integrity of the
gingival mucosa which was best demonstrated on coronal T2 images (Figure 5) and confirmed on clinical examination.

gingival mucosa: report of case," Journal of Oral Surgery, vol.
On closer examination, the lesion was noted to have multiple stalks attached to the
gingival mucosa of the alveolar ridge on the maxilla; some of the stalks were noted to be pulsatile.
The various epithelial regions of the body such as palms, soles, knees, and keratinized oral
gingival mucosa express cathepsin-C gene which explains the localization of lesions in PLS.
Lesion can arise on facial and lingual
gingival mucosa. PGCGs tend to be asymptomatic; however, while pain is uncommon, the lesion may become ulcerated as a result of repeated trauma.
(2) This type of ameloblastoma cannot extend beyond the
gingival mucosa into the alveolar bone.
Histological alterations in tissue sections obtained from diabetic patients were present in both the epithelium and the lamina propria of the
gingival mucosa. The epithelium displayed variable amounts of acanthosis and parakeratosis, with reduced quantities of acute inflammatory infiltrate composed mostly of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (segmented granulocytes) throughout its thickness and in superficially located microabscesses.
(1,3) Others, but less frequent locations for oral involvement, are the buccal and
gingival mucosa. The lips, tongue, and palate are least common sites for oral involvement, (1,3) while 42% of case have multiple lesions at the same time.
The
gingival mucosa was sutured in simple interrupted suture pattern using polyglycolic acid No.2 suture material avoiding dead space.
