Maxillary Region

Fibrosarcoma of the oral and maxillofacial region is a rare entity with poor prognosis. Most common sites are the extremities, with only one percent of fibrosarcoma arising in the head and neck area. Oral fibrosarcoma are locally infiltrative and destructive, spreads by haematogenous dissemination. The positive immunostaining for vimentin, together with negativity for muscular immunomarkers help to diagnosis the fibrosarcoma. Surgical management of fibrosarcoma in maxillofacial region is far from satisfactory, because of lack of inadequate clearance. This paper describes an unusual case of soft tissue fibrosarcoma of premaxillary region in an adult aged 71 years.

Clinicopathologic Findings

Composite paragangliomas are rare with less than 20 cases documented in the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and urinary bladder. In this article, we report the first case of composite paraganglioma in the head and neck presenting as a soft tissue mass in the neck adjacent to the carotid artery in a 50-year-old woman. We discuss the clinicopathologic findings and genetic implications, and we review the literature of this rare entity.

Soft-tissue chondroma is a rare, benign, slow-growing tumor made up of heterotopic cartilaginous tissue. It occurs most commonly in the third and fourth decades in the hands and feet. Oral soft-tissue chondromas are uncommon and soft-tissue chondroma of gingiva is extremely uncommon. Here, we report an unusual case of soft-tissue chondroma of gingiva in a 50-year-old woman.

<p>Usually intramuscular hydatid cysts are secondary, resulting from other areas either spontaneously or after surgery for hydatidosis in other regions. We present an unusual case of a primary hydatid cyst found in left chest wall of a 38-year-old woman, presenting as an enlarging soft tissue lump with pain which was diagnosed intraoperatively.</p>

Metastases derived from primary tumours distant to the oral and maxillofacial region account for only 1% of all malignancies at that location, usually with a poor prognosis. In women, the primary tumours that most frequently metastasise to the oral cavity are breast adenocarcinomas affecting the jawbones and soft tissues (41% and 24%, respectively), followed by adrenal glands and female genital organs to the jawbones (8%), and female genital organs to the soft tissues (15%). Metastatic tumours of the mouth are a challenging diagnosis because of their exceptional occurrence. We report on the case of an 83-year-old woman who consulted for a bleeding ulcerated tumour on the floor of the mouth. A biopsy-confirmed metastasis of an adenocarcinoma of Müllerian origin. The oral lesion was the first sign of undetected cancer. The patient agreed to surgical resection and was further referred to palliative care for her symptoms.

We present an unusual case of carcinoma of the piriform fossa, presenting with cutaneous metastases. These metastases are very rare, present in the late stages of disease, and are usually associated with distant metastases and poor prognosis. They often suggest aggressive disease. We believe that cutaneous metastases from a malignancy in the piriform fossa are more unusual than those from other sites of the head and neck.
