abstract

basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy among caucasians. rare examples of aggressive and neglected bcc have been reported. here we report a unique case of a neglected bcc with significant jaw involvement. a 50-year-old female, referred by an otorhinologist, presented with a large ulcer on her chin, which was extended to her mandibular vestibule. the ulcer was 9×5.5 cm in size, and tissue destruction, necrosis was observed in the central portion, and the mandibular bone was exposed. on intraoral examination, tooth mobility and severe bone loss were evident. due to the primary cutaneous origin of the lesion, bcc was considered as preliminary diagnosis. biopsy was performed and diagnosis of bcc was confirmed. the diseased mandibular bone was resected and reconstructed with a surgical plate. the soft tissue defect was reconstructed with deltopectoral flap. the patient refused secondary stage plastic surgery. although bcc is not a lethal malignancy, if left untreated and neglected, it can result in severe destruction, disfigurement, and even mortality.

It may originate from the walls of an odontogenic cyst or de novo from the remnant epithelium at this region. Because the early symptoms of such malignancies are sometimes similar to those of inflammatory or periodontal dis...

Central Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Mandible Simulating as Benign Odontogenic Lesion: A Case Report

Because of a considerable overlap between the clinical and histopathological features, this group of tumors often produces a diagnostic difficulty to the clinicians and oral pathologists. Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual, low-grade, malignant salivary gland tumor that represents approximately 2% of the salivary gland tumors with almos...
