1/75. Central fibroma in the ascending ramus of the mandible. Case report.A case of central fibroma involving the mandible in a 58 year old woman is described. There was slight swelling of the left cheek and bone-hard bulging was detected on palpation but the patient had not complained of the swelling. The lesion was removed under general anaesthesia and then examined histopathologically. There was no sign of recurrence eleven months after the operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/75. Giant central ossifying fibroma of the mandible: report of case.A case is presented of a patient with a giant ossifying fibroma of the mandible that had been diagnosed earlier as fibrous dysplasia. Surgical resection of the tumor and involved bone was chosen as the mode of treatment because of the extent of the lesion and continued infection. Surgeons should be aware that ossifying fibroma is a very distinct possibility in large growing lesions in age groups older than is deemed compatible with fibrous dysplasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/75. Desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible in a 3-year-old child.A 3-year-old white girl was seen because of an enlarging mass in the left side of the mandible. The mass was 10 cm in diameter and the entire left hemimandible was involved. Examination of tissue after incisional biopsy showed desmoplastic fibroma. Surgical removal of the tumor required a hemimandibulectomy. The mandible was replaced immediately with a stainless steel mesh prosthesis with an acrylic condyle. A year later, there was no evidence of recurrence. Though the mesh became exposed in one area, we believe that esthetics and function were best served by its use.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/75. Desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible: case report.This report describes the case of a 2-year-old girl with desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible, with swelling in the region of the mandibular angle which had been wrongly diagnosed several times. A biopsy was interpreted as showing a low-grade fibrosarcoma. The patient then received treatment with cytotoxic drugs, and later a mandibular hemi-resection was performed. The postoperative diagnosis was Jaffe's desmoplastic fibroma (non-osteogenic). The age of the patient, the rapid development of the tumour and the accompanying pain suggested a sarcoma, and the first pathological examination seemed to provide confirmation. The post-operative course was very favorable, and the patient is considered to clinically cured, after one year.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/75. Large myxofibroma of the mandible treated with segmental mandibular resection and vascularized fibular graft.This report summarizes a case of large myxofibroma of the mandible. On the basis of the clinical appearance, radiographic findings, and biopsy specimen, the lesion was diagnosed as a myxofibroma. Segmental mandibular resection and immediate reconstruction by vascularized fibular graft were performed. At the 18-month follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence of the tumor, and good functional and aesthetic results were maintained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/75. An alternative approach to the pterygopalatine fossa by removing the mandible and immediately replacing it.A case is presented with a child with a desmoid tumor of the pterygopalatine fossa in which approximately a third of the mandible including the condyle was removed for exposure. The trimmed mandibular segment was then returned to position with a fascia cap over the condyle and intermaxillary fixation was instituted. The graft was followed by serial roentgenogram over five years. The graft took completely, grew with the patient, and resulted in normal dental occlusion and normal mandibular excursion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/75. Fibromyxoma of the middle ear (a case report).Fibromyxoma of the middle ear (a case report). We report an extremely rare case of fibromyxoma of the middle ear which was first suspected to be a cholesteatoma. Surgery was performed through a postauricular incision and pathologic study of the tumor gave us the final diagnosis. Fibromyxoma is an uncommon benign tumour of the head and neck region which usually arises in the jaw (1). Its local aggressivity and gelatinous consistency explain the difficulties to remove it radically and its frequent recurrences after treatment (2). Surgical resection with a wide excision seems to be the treatment of choice. Some authors advocate the use of argon or CO2 laser to achieve the treatment. A review of the poor literature about this subject is discussed in this article.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.012294293891116keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/75. Fibromatosis of the mandible in a child.Fibromatosis represents a group of fibrous tumors showing clinic and biologic features between benign fibrous lesions and fibrosarcoma. These locally aggressive tumors have high recurrence rates (20% to 70%). A four-year-old boy presented with mandibular fibromatosis occupying the mandible completely and extending to the submandibular gland and soft tissues. Complete hemimandibulectomy and submandibular gland excision were performed followed by reconstruction with a curved Kirschner wire. No signs of recurrence was observed during a follow-up period of 18 months. In addition, no limitations in the functions of the jaw, mastication, and swallowing were noted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.0122942938911keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/75. Central odontogenic fibroma-like tumors, hypodontia, and enamel dysplasia: review of the literature and report of a case.A patient with multiple odontogenic fibroma-like tumors in the mandible and enamel dysplasia is presented, bringing the total number of cases reported in the literature to 3. In addition to these manifestations, this case had hypodontia. The absence of associated teeth, the size of the lesions, the lingual expansion, and the green-yellow polarization of collagen with Picrosirius stains supported the neoplastic nature of the central odontogenic fibroma-like tumors in the case presented. Laminated psammomatous deposits distinguished the tumors from the world health organization-type central odontogenic fibroma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/75. Ameloblastomatoid, central odontogenic fibroma: an epithelium-rich variant.Two cases are presented of a central odontogenic fibroma (OF) in the mandible of a middle-aged female, which posed considerable difficulty in microscopic diagnosis. These well-demarcated but non-encapsulated intraosseous tumors had hybrid features of both OF and ameloblastoma. Their clinical findings are more in keeping with the putative OF rather than ameloblastoma. The present lesions alert pathologists to this unusual type of central OF in order to avoid misdiagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
