Dr/ Ahmed Kamel  JAW MASSES I Anatomy of jaw 1 Lower jaw (Mandible) Definition ▪ The mandible is the skeleton of the lower jaw. Consists of ▪ Body and 2 rami (one ramous on each side).  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses 2 Upper jaw (Maxilla) ⎚ There are 2 maxillary bones (right and left) which together form front of face. ⎚ Each maxillary bone shares in forming part of 3 important cavities: 1. Floor of the orbit. 2. Floor and lateral wall of the nose. 3. Roof of the mouth. 3 Tooth  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses II Teeth Development (Odontogenesis) ▪ The teeth develop from an ectodermal ridge (Dental plate = Dental lamina) which: A. Buried into the mesoderm. ① B. and Segmented to form enamel germs (odontogenic epithelium). ▪ Each germ invaginated by mesodermal papilla, and ▪ All become surrounded by a vascular fibrous tissue giving dental follicles. ②  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses ▪ In each follicle, the enamel germ give: 1. Ameloblasts: lay down the enamel. 2. Odontoblast: gives rise to dentine, cement, and pulp of the tooth. ③ ▪ Between the teeth, fragments of ectoderm may persist as Para dental epithelial cells of Mallesez which may be responsible for odontomes formation later on. ④    TEETH DEVELOPMENT  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses I Etiology 1 From Gum or alveolar margin A.

Nasopalatine cyst EPIDEMIOLOGY The most common epithelial & nonodontogenic cyst of the maxilla ▪ The cyst originates from: epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. ▪ The cells may be: PATHOGENESIS - Activated spontaneously during life, or - Eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.). IV. Nasolabial cyst ▪ A rare developmental soft tissue cyst that develop between the upper DEFINITION lip and nasal vestibule. ▪ Derived from: 1- Epithelial cells retained in the mesenchyme after fusion of medial and DERIVED FROM lateral nasal processes. 2- Epithelial remnants from the nasolacrimal duct extending between the lateral nasal process and maxillary prominence. ▪ The predominant presentation of a nasolabial cyst is a painless localized swelling WITH varying degrees of nasal obstruction C/P  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses 2 Inflammatory Diseases ① Dental abscess: DEFINITION ▪ It is collection of pus in the tooth following any infection. ▪ It can be: A. Within the tooth in the roots. SITE B. Near the gums. C. or in the alveolar bone which surrounds the tooth. 1. Tooth decay. ETIOLOGY 2. Foreign body: like food particles or bacteria which are trapped in tissues. 3. Trauma. 1. Pain on chewing food or sometimes at rest. 2. Redness in the tissue where infection has occurred, and accumulation of pus has occurred. 3. ↑↑ temperature at that particular place. 4. Foul tasting discharge within the mouth from the place where infection has occurred. 5. Foul breath. C/P 1. Removal of the source. 2. Drainage of the pus collected. - If there is pus within the tooth roots → Root canal treatment. TTT - If in the surrounding tissues → incision and drainage of the pus. 3. Antibiotics. 4. Analgesics: for relief of pain.  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses ② Alveolar abscess ③ Acute Osteomyelitis ④ Chronic Osteomyelitis ▪ Predisposing factors: ▪ Non-specific: Chronic after acute.

Osteoclastoma ⎚ It is a rare tumor of the jaw. ⎚ Similar to adamantinoma with the following differences: Adamantinoma Osteoclastoma SITE Near angle of mandible. Near symphysis menti. Both horizontal & vertical rami. Only in horizontal part. GROWTH It stops short at angle. SHAPE Equal lobulation. Unequal lobulation. EXPANSION More on outer side. Equal on both sides. COLOR Pink or pale. Brownish or bluish. Honeycomb appearance. Soap bubble appearance. X-RAY II. Malignant Neoplasms of Mandible ▪ The most common malignant tumors of the mandible represent SCCs of the INCIDENCE oral cavity, especially carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and gingiva that invade the mandible secondarily. TYPE OF PATIENT ▪ It affects children or young adults ▪ Painful. ▪ Rapidly growing → They grow to large size, encroach on SWELLING buccal cavity C/P ▪ The tumor is hard, or of variable consistency. ▪ Loosening of teeth. ▪ Profuse salivation. IT CAUSES.. ▪ Foulness of mouth. ▪ Ulceration and bleeding. TTT ▪ Treatment is disappointing, Palliative mandibulectomy.  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses III. Cancer Maxilla INCIDENCE ▪ Malignant lesions of the maxilla are rare. ▪ Often result from direct tumor extension from adjacent structures such as ORIGIN gingiva, mucosa of the upper lip, maxillary sinuses, or nasal cavity. ▪ Etiology of Maxillary sinus cancer: ETIOLOGY 1. Multiple polyps. 2. Chronic sinusitis ▪ Carcinoma of maxilla is not a bony tumor. SITE ▪ But a tumor arising from mucous membrane lining maxillary antrum. PATHOLOGY N/E ▪ Rapidly growing cauliflower mass. 1. Squamous cell carcinoma. “Most common type of maxillary sinus cancer” M/E 2. Adenoid cystic carcinoma. “2nd most common type” A. Intrinsic: In the maxilla itself. B. Extrinsic: The cauliflower mass starts to infiltrate: 1. Medial wall: Encroaches on the nose 2. Inferior wall (floor): Encroaches on the hard palate 3. Upper wall (roof): Encroaches on the eye. 4. Anterior wall: Encroaches on the cheek. 5. Posterior wall: Encroaches on the sphenopalatine fossa. DIRECT SPREAD ▪ Relatively late. LYMPHATIC ▪ To either submandibular or upper deep cervical nodes or both. BLOOD ▪ Lung, Liver, and Bones.  SURG IV - Oncology Jaw Masses 1. Pain. 2. Unilateral nasal obstruction. 3. Unilateral epistaxis & foul nasal discharge. 4. Unilateral epiphora: Due to obstruction of C/P nasolacrimal duct. 5. Diplopia or proptosis. 6. Toothache, loosening of the teeth, ballooning of the hard palate. 7. Swelling of the cheek (ballooning of the face). 1. Early: opacification of the maxillary antrum due to involvement of the cavity with the soft tissue of the tumor. 1. X-RAY 2. Later on (erosion, decalcification, absorption of the bone....) due to actual invasion of the bones. 2. ANTERIOR ▪ May show a mass which is friable, ulcerated & bleeds easily on RHINOSCOPY touch. 3. CT SCAN Investigation of choice ▪ Excellent in detecting maxillary cancer with lymph node metastases. ▪ Reliable in detecting: 4. PET/MR A. Bone marrow invasion. INV. B. Intracranial invasion. C. Invasion of deep tongue muscle. D. Perineural spread ▪ T1 axial (a) ▪ T2 axial (b) ▪ STIR axial (c) ▪ FDG PET/MR T1 with fat suppression axial fusion (d) ▪ STIR coronal (e) ▪ FDG PET/MR T1 VIBE with fat suppression axial fusion, at more inferior level (f) ▪ Primary: A or B A. Combined irradiation + Conservative surgery OPERABLE TTT B. Ferguson’s operation (maxillectomy) followed by prosthesis ▪ Secondary: Total block dissection of neck only if LNS are palpable INOPERABLE ▪ Irradiation.
