Hodgkin\'s lymphoma (HL) is a malignancy that is typically B-cell in origin. HL can be further classified into classical HL and nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL). NLPHL is a rare lymphoma. It commonly presents locally with palpable firm lymphadenopathy or mediastinal mass seen on chest imaging. Some patients may have B symptoms (fever, night sweats, and unintentional weight loss), splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. We describe a case of NLPHL in a 32-year-old male with classical findings of this rare class of HL.

Oral squamous papillomas (SPs) are benign masses commonly growing in the tongue, gingiva, uvula, lips, and palate. A case of an asymptomatic pedunculated squamous papilloma at the center of the soft palate is presented. Both surgical management and histopathologic analysis were conducted. The aim of this report is to stress the importance of early diagnosis and management of common benign oral lesions to prevent their transformation into malignancy.

COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The clinical features of COVID-19 are myriad. Though it is a multisystem illness, it predominantly involves the respiratory system. There have been case reports on rare manifestations of COVID-19, of which COVID-19-related Kikuchi\'s disease is one of them. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case in the world. We report a lady in her late 60s with COVID-19 infection and secondary bacterial pneumonia, which necessitated ICU admission, having ongoing fever spikes with high inflammatory markers and leukopenia. She was also found to have tender cervical lymphadenopathy on the third week of illness, whose biopsy revealed histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis in keeping with Kikuchi\'s disease. The patient had an uneventful recovery in two weeks without any intervention. The pathophysiology of COVID-19-related Kikuchi\'s disease is unclear. However, COVID-19 is a viral illness that involves changes in interleukins. The latter is postulated in Kikuchi\'s disease.

The aim of the present article is to present the clinical case of a large peripheral ossifying fibroma that evolved from a previously diagnosed pyogenic granuloma in a 50-year-old woman. The patient was referred for treatment of a lesion over the buccal and palatal gingiva close to the left upper first molar. It was purplish-red in color, approximately 3 cm in diameter, having a smooth surface, a pedicled and bleeding base, with seven years of evolution, and diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. After three years of evasion, the patient returned reporting an increase in the lesion and difficulty in eating. Clinically the nodule was lobular in appearance, pink in color and smooth, pediculated, firm in consistency, non-bleeding, about 5 cm in its greatest extension, extending to the maxillary tuberosity. The lesion was excised and referred for histopathological examination, which led to the diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma. The patient was followed for approximately 18 months, prosthetically rehabilitated, with satisfactory healing and no clinical signs of recurrence. The possible evolution of a pyogenic granuloma to a peripheral ossifying fibroma was observed in this case, based on the histopathological changes that occurred, with the development of calcified material, fibrous maturation, and decreased vascular content of the initial lesion after three years.

We present a case of chondroblastoma-like chondroma (CLC) of soft tissue that manifested as a palmar mass on the left hand of an 84-year-old man. Physical examination, imaging investigation, and needle biopsy initially suggested a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath, until a correct diagnosis was made based on excised specimen histology. The patient underwent a marginal excision for soft-tissue mass removal. Follow-up examination showed excellent relief of symptoms, and full hand mobility was regained. The diagnosis of CLC is challenging because the radiographic and pathological features vary. Therefore, we highly emphasize the importance of utilizing excisional tissue for histopathological assessment in atypical chondroma presentations.
