Abstract
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a benign neoplasm arising from the synovium of joints, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its benign nature, these tumors may exhibit aggressive behavior. A 57-year-old woman with a swollen, hardened area in the left TMJ was referred to the university´s clinic. The diagnosis of tenosynovial giant cell tumor was made based on the presence of hyperplastic synovial lining containing mononuclear and giant cells, hemorrhagic areas, hemosiderin deposits, and calcification foci in the biopsy. A low condylectomy was performed, and histopathologic analysis of the surgical piece upheld the diagnosis. Due to histopathologic resemblance with other giant cell-rich lesions (giant cell granuloma of the jaws, brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism, and non-ossifying fibroma) for which signature mutations are known, mutational analysis of KRAS, FGFR1, and TRPV4 genes was conducted. The results revealed wild-type sequences for all the mutations tested, thereby supporting the diagnosis of tenosynovial giant cell tumor.

Abstract
Osteitis fibrosa cystica (OFC) and Brown Tumours are two related but distinct types of bone lesions that result from the overactivity of osteoclasts and are most often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite their potential consequences, these conditions are poorly understood because of their rare prevalence and variability in their clinical manifestation. Canonically, OFC and Brown Tumours are caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD. Recent literature showed that multiple factors, such as hyperactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and chronic inflammation, may also contribute to the occurrence of these diseases through osteoclast activation. Moreover, hotspot KRAS mutations were identified in these lesions, placing them in the spectrum of RAS-MAPK-driven neoplasms, which were until recently thought to be reactive lesions. Some risk factors contributed to the occurrence of OFC and Brown Tumours, such as age, gender, comorbidities, and certain medications. The diagnosis of OFC and Brown Tumours includes clinical symptoms involving chronic bone pain and laboratory findings of hyperparathyroidism. In radiological imaging, the X-ray and Computed tomography (CT) scan could show lytic or multi-lobular cystic alterations. Histologically, both lesions are characterized by clustered osteoclasts in a fibrotic hemorrhagic background. Based on the latest understanding of the mechanism of OFC, this review elaborates on the manifestation, diagnosis, and available therapies that can be leveraged to prevent the occurrence of OFC and Brown Tumours.

Abstract
Brown tumors are rare and generally self-limiting mass lesions of bone occurring in the context of hyperparathyroidism. Although commonly regarded as endocrine-driven tumor-like lesions, we detected pathogenic hotspot KRAS mutations in 10/16 brown tumors (62%) with similar frequencies found in cases affecting the peripheral and axial skeleton. Pathogenic mutations in other driver genes of the RAS-MAPK pathway were not identified. Our findings suggest brown tumors to represent true neoplasms driven by the activation of the RAS-MAPK signaling pathway. The frequent regression of brown tumors after normalization of hyperparathyroidism points to a second hit mediated by endocrine stimulation to be required for tumor development. Our findings underline the pathogenic relation of brown tumors to nonossifying fibroma and giant cell granuloma of the jaws which both appear histologically similar to brown tumors and are also driven by RAS-MAPK signaling pathway activation.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors classified as intermediate in the WHO 2020 classification, i.e. neither completely benign nor definitely malignant, due to recurrence (frequent) and pulmonary metastases (rare). They involve the end of long bones as well as the axial bones of mature skeletons. They are made of mononuclear stromal tumor cells of (pre-) osteoblastic phenotype, mononuclear cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage and osteoclast-like multinuclear giant cells responsible for tumor osteolysis. In 95% of cases, the stromal cells have a specific mutation in the H3F3A gene which encodes histone H3.3. The mutated H3.3 G34W protein (90% of cases) can be easily detected by immunohistochemistry, even on small samples. Many tumors or bone pseudotumors contain osteoclast-like giant cells, cells of the bone microenvironment, and should not be confused with GCT: mainly brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism, aneurysmal bone cyst, chondroblastoma, non-ossifying fibroma and central giant cell granuloma.

Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders worldwide. In countries where routine biochemical screening is not common, symptomatic hyperparathyroidism predominates. Its manifestations include skeletal alterations, calcification of soft tissues, kidney stones, and functional alterations in other systems. Notably, jaw alterations can be the first clinical sign of hyperparathyroidism, including brown tumor, renal osteodystrophy, osteitis fibrosa, and leontiasis ossea, and knowing such conditions is of core importance for the multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of hyperparathyroidism. We aimed to perform a concise review, systematizing the concepts and mechanisms underlying hyperparathyroidism and associated gnathic alterations. In addition, a detailed description of the clinical aspects of the jaw manifestations is presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymphatic malformations are characterized by the overgrowth of lymphatic vessels during development. Activation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways occur in isolated lymphatic malformation and in those associated with syndromes such as CLOVES and Klippel-Trenaunay. We aimed to assess the activation of these pathways in sporadic oral lymphatic malformations. STUDY DESIGN A convenience sample of 14 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of oral lymphatic malformations underwent immunohistochemical reactions for the phosphorylated forms of AKT1 (pAKT-Ser473) and ERK1/2 (pERK1/2-Thr202/Tyr204), which are markers of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways activation, respectively. RESULTS Positive staining for pAKT1 and pERK1/2 was observed in the endothelial cells in all samples of oral lymphatic malformations evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that activation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways participates in the pathogenesis of oral lymphatic malformations.

Abstract
Many systemic (infective, genetic, autoimmune, neoplastic) diseases may involve the oral cavity and, more generally, the soft and hard tissues of the head and neck as primary or secondary localization. Primary onset in the oral cavity of both pediatric and adult diseases usually represents a true challenge for clinicians; their precocious detection is often difficult and requires a wide knowledge but surely results in the early diagnosis and therapy onset with an overall better prognosis and clinical outcomes. In the current paper, as for the topic of the current Special Issue, the authors present an overview on the most frequent clinical manifestations at the oral and maxillo-facial district of systemic disease.
