Chondrosarcoma of the mandible: report of case.

A case of chondrosarcoma of the mandible in a 69-year-old man has been reported. The patient was treated by radical surgery (hemimandibulectomy) and he was alive 54 months postoperatively.     

Chondrosarcoma of the mandible: case report and literature review

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant cartilaginous tumor that rarely occurs in the maxillofacial bones. A 44-year-old woman complained about swelling and mild pain during mastication in the right parasymphysis region. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed characteristics of osteosarcoma. A microscopic examination revealed an abundant proliferation of malignant neoplastic cartilage cells of varying sizes arranged as immature tissue and the absence of an osteoid matrix. This article presents a case of chondrosarcoma of the jaw and discusses the differences between osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma.     

Chondrosarcoma of the anterior mandible. A case report

Chondrosarcomas of the maxillofacial region are extremely rare tumors, accounting for approximately 1% of chondrosarcomas of the entire body. This case represents the 12th case of mandibular symphyseal chondrosarcoma reported in the literature. It presented as a painful swelling of the alveolus, associated with a mobile mandibular incisor. The patient remains free from recurrence six years after a marginal resection.     

Fibrosarcoma of the mandible: a case report

Fibrosarcoma is a relatively rare malignant tumor found in the head and neck region. Pain and swelling are the two most frequent symptoms, but other findings include paresthesia, trismus, loosening of teeth, ulceration, swelling, and pathological fracture. This case report underscores the importance of early diagnosis and detection of oral neoplasms to minimize therapeutic intervention.     

Ameloblastoma of the mandible: a case report

This report describes the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with a radiolucent lesion between his mandibular right premolars. The original radiographic diagnosis was a lateral periodontal cyst, but surgery produced biopsy material that proved to be an ameloblastoma. A discussion on developing a differential diagnosis is presented.     

Angiomyoma of the mandible: a case report

A rare case of intrabony angiomyoma affecting the mandible is presented. The patient was 25 years old male who complained of swelling and pain in the posterior segment of his lower jaw. Histopathologically diagnosed angiomyoma is discussed with emphasis on the pathogenesis in the present case. Literature concerning the lesion is reviewed. In the present paper we report a case of angiomyoma affecting the mandible. Angiomyomas are also known as vascular leiomyomas which commonly occur in the wrist and ankle region. They are painful tumours as was also evident in our case. These tumours are characterized histopathologically by convuluted thick walled vessels associated with bundles of well differentiated smooth muscle elements. They rarely affect the oral cavity. Therefore our case is one of the few cases affecting the oral cavity as reported earlier. Tumours of the smooth muscle cells which form involuntary muscle are known as leiomyomas. These commonly affect the alimentary tract. They are rarely found to affect the oral cavity.     

Chondrosarcoma of the maxilla: report of case.

Chondrosarcomas of the jaws are rare tumors; an additional case in the maxilla is described. The literature that discusses the pathogenesis of the tumor, its biological behavior, and the preferred treatment is reviewed. The histologic differentiation between chondrosarcoma and benign cartilagenous tumors is discussed.     

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible: a case report

Osteomyelitis of jaws caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is uncommon, especially in children. We present a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a young child. Its clinical presentation, with features similar to a dento-alveolar abscess, underline the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of jaw lesions.
We discuss of the diagnostic techniques, management and preventive measures, and stress the importance of history taking during clinical examination.     

Aggressive fibromatosis of the mandible: a case report

An extensive tumour in a 7-year-old girl, leading to severe disfigurement, proved to be an aggressive fibromatosis on histological examination. Eighteen months after surgery there was no evidence of recurrent disease. This suggests that tumour resection and reconstruction of the mandible had been successful. Contrary to some reports, tumour resection led to curative therapy whereas radiotherapy failed.     

Greenstick fracture of the mandible: a case report

This case report is an insight in to pediatric traumatology whereby bilateral greenstick fracture of condyle is used as a means to discuss the incidence and anatomic considerations for the management of the same, highlighting the fact that dental surgeons require a unique understanding of the anatomy, growth considerations, healing pattern and operative management involving minimal manipulation while managing pediatric facial fractures.     

下颌骨软骨黏液样纤维瘤1例

软骨黏液样纤维瘤是一种罕见的良性骨肿瘤,通常较多见于四肢骨骼,而发生于颌面骨骼较为少见。软骨黏液样纤维瘤的临床表现以及影像学不具有特异性,易误诊为其他常见的骨肿瘤或肿瘤病变。本文报道1例发生于下颌骨的软骨黏液样纤维瘤,并结合相关文献对其临床表现、影像学特点及治疗方法等进行分析。     

Chondrosarcoma of the mandible extending to the infratemporal fossa: report of two cases

INTRODUCTION: Chondrosarcomas of the mandible affecting the infratemporal fossa are very rare malignant tumors. DISCUSSION: In this article, two cases of chondrosarcoma invading the infratemporal fossa are presented, and clinical, histopathologic features, and therapeutic approaches are discussed, reviewing the literature.
