Study Notes
Hemangioma of Gnathic Bones
- Oral hemangiomas (OHs) result from endothelial cell proliferation.
- OHs are benign tumors in and around the oral cavity.
- 60 to 70% of hemangiomas occur in the head and neck region.
- Relatively rare, OHs commonly affect the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate.
- Central hemangiomas manifest in the mandible and maxilla.
- Intramuscular hemangiomas are seen within the masseter and mastication muscles.
- "Hemangioma" and "vascular malformation" are often used interchangeably, which can cause confusion.
- Hemangiomas are true neoplasms with endothelial cell proliferation, resulting in increased turnover.
- Vascular malformations are localized anomalies due to vascular morphogenesis defects, with typical cell turnover rates.
Ewing Sarcoma
- Ewing sarcoma is a highly malignant tumor of bone and soft tissues.
- Primarily found in children and young adults.
- Most commonly in the pelvis, axial skeleton, and extremities.
- In the head and neck, it accounts for 3% to 9% of all Ewing tumors.
- The prognosis for Ewing's sarcoma in the head and neck region is slightly better than in other sites.
- Multimodality therapy, including biopsy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, is the treatment of choice and may lead to long-term survival.
