1/12. Intraosseous neurofibroma of the jaws.Two cases of intraosseous neurofibromas of the mandible are presented. Only 25 cases of this tumor have been published previously. Of the present two cases, one was located at the upper border of the mandible, in the left second molar area where the tooth had been extracted 2 years previously. In the second case, the tumor presented itself as a 10 x 2 cm large destruction, mainly following the course of the alveolar nerve from the mandibular foramen to the mental foramen in the right side of the jaw. The mandibular first right molar was missing but the relationship between the extraction of the tooth and the development of the tumor could not be demonstrated. Histologically, the two tumors differed in the way that case 1 showed a conspicuous amount of delicate, wavy fibrils, some of which showed concentric lamellations resembling the pacinian corpuscle but without neurites containing nerve fiber bundles and also demonstrated a slight pleomorphism.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Solitary intraosseous neurilemmoma of the tibia: review of intraosseous neurilemmoma and neurofibroma.This is a case report of a 59-year-old woman with a neurilemmoma involving the tibia, a site not previously reported for this tumor. neurilemmoma, a benign neoplasm which rarely involves bone, arises from the schwann cells in the nerve sheath. It is a distinct pathological entity separate from solitary neurofibroma, and arises from the connective tissue coats of nerves, but which also involves bone. The incidence of the 2 types of nerve sheath tumors is obscured by the tendency of some authors to use the terms interchangeably. Forty-eight cases of true intraosseous neurilemmoma have been reported in the literature. Of 18 cases of solitary intraosseous neurofibroma primary in bone, all were in the jaw and 6 were malignant. The diagnosis of intraosseous neurilemmoma may be missed because of its rarity and roentgenologic appearance of cystic bone disease which is not distinctive except that it resembles other commonly encountered bone lesions. A positive diagnosis is based only on the microscopic pathology. Complete local resection generally produces an excellent result without recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.025096468291797keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. Solitary neurofibroma of the mandible and infratemporal fossa in a young child. Report of a case.The first case of a rare and unusual solitary neurofibroma of the mandible that caused bony erosion and extension into the adjacent soft tissues of the infratemporal fossa is presented. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features of the neurofibroma are reviewed. The diagnostic procedures and the surgical treatment of this tumor in a young child are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1862941463525keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. Solitary intraosseous neurofibroma of mandible.Solitary intraosseous neurofibroma is a rare benign non-odontogenic tumor. Although neurofibromas occur predominantly as a feature of neurofibromatosis affecting the soft tissue, a few cases of solitary intraosseous neurofibromas of the jaw have been reported. We herewith report a case of solitary intraosseous neurofibroma of mandible in a middle-aged woman with a discussion on its clinical, radiological, and histopathological presentation along with review of cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.2113906146443keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. Solitary neurofibroma of the mandible: case report and review of the literature.A case is presented of a neurofibroma of the mandible without recurrence 6 years after surgery. Search for neurofibromatosis was negative. Eradication of the tumor was explained by the extent of the operation that was performed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1862941463525keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. neurofibrosarcoma of the mandible.A case has been reported to illustrate the apparent transition of a neurofibroma into a neurofibrosarcoma. biopsy of the inferior alveolar nerve, proximal to the lesion, was used to determine the extent of tumor extension. En block excision of the tumor was performed. The patient has been without evidence of recurrence for approximatley 3 1/2 years. Bone graft reconstruction has been completed and full function has been restored to the mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1862941463525keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. Intraosseous benign neural sheath neoplasms of the jaws. Report of seven new cases and review of the literature.Benign neural sheath neoplasms occurring centrally within the jaws are most uncommon. Our search of the English-language literature revealed twenty-eight previously reported cases. Seven additional cases--five neurofibromas and two neurilemmomas--are newly described here. Most cases have not been associated with multiple neurofibromatosis. These tumors occur predominantly in females, in patients under 45 years of age, and in the posterior mandible. The tumors generally present as asymptomatic radiolucencies, but some are associated with pain and/or swelling. Neurofibromas tend to recur more often than neurilemmomas when treated by conservative local excision.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.56274117072949keywords = mandible, jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Neural tumors of the oral cavity. A review of the spectrum of benign and malignant oral tumors of the oral cavity and jaws.The clinical and histologic features of benign and malignant neural tumors of the oral cavity and jaws are reviewed. Some rarer histologic variants are mentioned. Particular attention is paid to the two syndromes involving neural tumors of the oral cavity, namely, neurofibromatosis and multiple endocrine neoplasia III. A previously unreported case of the latter is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.12548234145899keywords = jaw (Clic here for more details about this article) |
