   Abstract:	The purpose of this article is to describe a rare case of Ameloblastic Fibroma (AF) with atypical localization with long term follow-up period. The AF is a relatively rare benign mixed odontogenic tumour, which is extremely uncommon in the anterior maxillary region. It represents only 1-2% of all odontogenic tumors and males are slightly more frequently affected than females. It presents more frequently in the mandible than maxilla. The majority of AF’s are found in the posterior area of the mandible and painless, slow growing and usually asymptomatic but eventually expand the jaw. A 3 year-old girl with a chief complaint of painless swelling on the right maxillar area. Radiological evaluation revealed a well-circumscribed large lesion. The lesion was diagnosed as AF according to the histopathological fi ndings. She was treated by enucleation with no recurrence observed after a follow-up period of 5 years. After fi ve years, radiographs showed that the surgical defect had fi lled with new bone. A conservative approach, including enucleation and mechanical curettage of the surrounding tissue appeared to be successful for the patient. Although recurrence of AF is rare, regular reviews to monitor growth and development are required for the high potential of recurrence rates.

   Title in Croatian:	Burkittov limfom: rijedak i sporadičan slučaj
   Type of Article:	case report
   MeSH:	BURKITT LYMPHOMA JAW
   Abstract:	We report a case of a 9 year-old boy who had multilocular lesions in both of his jaws. There was extraoral facial asymmetry and intraoral examination revealed remarkable gingival lesions with fixed swellings on the left and right parts of both maxilla and mandible. Radiographic examination included panoramic radiograph showing only a slight radiolucency in the left premolar and molar region of mandible. Incisional biopsy of the gingival masses was performed and histopathologic examination disclosed BL. The treatment could not be completed due to the disagreement of patient’s parents who were uneducated and had a low social status. The patient died within 8 months after the diagnosis. In this report we aimed to present a rare sporadic case of BL with a four segmental involvement of the jaws which is usually seen in endemic type of BL as well as emphasize the significance of the cooperation between physicians and patients.

   MeSH:	CARCINOMA SALIVARY GLANDS ACINAR CELL
   Abstract:	Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare, low grade malignant tumor of the salivary glands. Most frequently it originates from major salivary glands almost exclusively in parotid gland and rarely from minor salivary glands. In this report we present a case of 64-year-old man with a persistent swelling within the mucosa of the lower lip at the line of the canine tooth for two years. The lesion was painless, soft in texture, mimicked a mucocel and had the dimensions of 1x1.5 cm with an overlying mucosa normal in color. Surgical excision of the lesion is performed and histopathological confirmation revealed acinic cell carcinoma.
