Primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma: report of a new case
2010
Primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma of the jaws has been rarely reported. We present a new case of this unusual
tumour and discuss its histopathological and clinical aspects. The subject was a 76-year-old man who was
seen due to complaints of pain and the presence of gingival changes in the left mandible. A panoramic radiograph
and computed tomography revealed a large mandibular radiolucency. A segmentary mandibulectomy was performed
and histopathologic examination proved that the tumour was an intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma.
Surgeons should appreciate the aggressiveness of this tumour, despite adequate surgical treatment
