Article Abstract
Colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) most commonly metastasizes to the peritoneum, liver, lung, and bone. Metastasis to the oral cavity is uncommon. Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old man who presented with a few months of chewing and swallowing difficulty, shoulder pain, and weight loss of 30 pounds. On oral exam, he was noted to have a 5 cm fixed hard palate mass. Primary hard palate malignancy was initially suspected. Biopsy of the mass confirmed adenocarcinoma with an immunohistochemical pattern suggestive of colorectal origin. He was later found to have extensive skeletal metastasis. Palliative radiotherapy to the hard palate region was initiated, followed by palliative systemic chemotherapy. We have found only three other published cases of rectal adenocarcinoma with hard palate metastasis.

Methotrexate is a commonly prescribed immunosuppressant and chemotherapy agent, carefully monitored by healthcare providers due to its potential adverse effects. As a result, methotrexate toxicity is relatively rare. We present the case of a 79-year-old man followed in rheumatology for symmetrical polyarthralgia, who inadvertently took methotrexate 10 mg daily, instead of weekly, leading to methotrexate toxicity.

Objective: Improving the effectiveness of primary surgery of uranoplasty and re-reconstruction of the palate in patients with cleft palate through the use of an axial flap of the fat body of the cheek.
Material And Methods: In the period from 2023-2024, 41 patients with cleft palate aged from 1 to 19 years were operated on. Of these, 28 people had a flap of the cheek fat body used in risk groups during primary uranoplasty (group 1) and in 13 patients to eliminate postoperative palate defects of various localization and extent (group 2).
