Carbon ion therapy for ameloblastic carcinoma
Ameloblastic carcinomas are rare odontogenic tumors. Treatment usually consists of surgical resection and sometimes adjuvant radiation. We report the case of a 71 year-old male patient undergoing carbon ion therapy for extensive local relapse of ameloblastic carcinoma. Treatment outcome was favourable with a complete remission at 6 weeks post completion of radiotherapy while RT-treatment itself...
متن کاملAmeloblastic Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Ameloblastic carcinoma secondary type is an extremely rare and aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that exhibits histological features of malignancy in primary and metastatic sites. It arises through carcinomatous de-differentiation of a pre-existing ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst, typically following repeated treatments and recurrences of the benign precursor neoplasm. Identification...
متن کاملMaxillary Ameloblastic Carcinoma
Odontogenic carcinomas of the maxilla are classified as malignant ameloblastoma, ameloblastic carcinoma, or primary intraosseous carcinoma. The term ameloblastic carcinoma is used to describe those ameloblastomas in which there is histological evidence of malignancy in the primary, recurrent, or metastatic tumour. The maxilla is an unusual site for ameloblastoma. This report is of a patient wit...
متن کاملHypofractionated carbon ion therapy delivered with scanned ion beams for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma – feasibility and clinical response
PURPOSE Photon-based radiation therapy does currently not play a major role as local ablative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Carbon ions offer distinct physical and biological advantages. Due to their inverted dose profile and the high local dose deposition within the Bragg peak, precise dose application and sparing of normal tissue is possible. Furthermore, carbon ions have an i...
متن کاملAmeloblastic Carcinoma: a Diagnostic Impasse for Both Pathologist and Surgeon
Ameloblastoma is a common and easily diagnosed odontogenic tumor. When present with histologic atypia is crucial because transformation to ameloblastic carcinoma is potentially life-threatening. Ameloblastic carcinoma, the malignant counterpart of the ameloblastoma, a rare entity, is characterized histologically by malignant epithelium in the primary, recurrent, or metastatic deposit. It has a ...
