What is this publication about?
Primary intraosseous maxillary squamous cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy arising from odontogenic epithelium remnants. Dr Jean-Pascal Dujoncquoy (first author) and colleagues report 9 cases treated between 1995 and 2010 at Lille University Hospital.
For colleagues: treatment and prognosis
All patients underwent wide resection (2 cm margin); 7 received fibula flap reconstruction; 5 had adjuvant radiotherapy.
Two-year survival was 100%; mean follow-up 6.9 years. Two relapses were treated; one death occurred at 3 years. Combined aggressive treatment is effective in limiting recurrence.
In plain language
This is a rare cancer of the upper jaw bone. The team removed the tumour with a safety margin, reconstructed when needed, and added radiotherapy — intensive care associated with good survival in this series.
