1/5. osteomyelitis of the mandible as a result of sickle cell disease. Report and literature review.

    Only five cases of osteomyelitis of the mandible as a result of sickle disease have been published. We report another case, which uniquely affected not only the osseous portion of the mandible, including the condyle, but also the adjacent musculature. Radical resection of the involved hard and soft tissue was necessary to cure the patient. Two possible etiologies are discussed. The first states that the sickle cell crisis caused a tissue anoxia in which this tissue became secondarily infected; the second states that the preexisting infection triggered or augmented the sickling phenomena.

2/5. Large-cell carcinoma metastatic to the jaw. Report of a case.

    A case of two metastatic lesions of the oral mucosa simulating odontogenic infections is presented. One lesion mimicked chronic pericoronitis, and the other lesion mimicked a dental abscess. The case stresses the need for routine biopsy and pathology examination of conditions found in the oral cavity.

3/5. Ewing's sarcoma metastatic to the gingiva.

    Although involvement of the jaws by Ewing's sarcoma is uncommon, when it occurs the clinical and radiographic presentation may mimic an inflammatory process, specifically pericoronitis. A case that illustrates this dilemma is presented.

5/5. Sickle cell disease: a diagnostic dilemma.

    The case history is described of a patient with sickle cell anaemia who developed a unilateral infarct of the mandible following a sickle cell crisis. The interruption of the blood supply resulted in an anaesthesia of the inferior dental nerve and pulpal necrosis of otherwise sound premolar and molar teeth. The diagnostic and management difficulties of the case are discussed, and recommendations are made for treatment of such patients in light of the problems encountered.
