“…In advanced lesions, whatever their antecedent origin, the original point of malignant change may no longer be visible. Therefore, the definitive diagnosis of PIOC often necessitates the exclusion of gingival carcinoma (3,4,30,31), which makes initial radiographs before surgical intervention mandatory.…”

This study investigated the clincopathologic features of primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) related to the third molar of the mandible. Six cases (5 from the literature and 1 new case; mean patient age 73 years) of PIOC associated with completely impacted lower third molar were analyzed. For comparison, 8 cases of PIOC presenting after extraction of the lower third molar were also evaluated, with a significantly lower mean patient age of 56 years. Most lesions were deceptively similar to those related to the lateral type of dentigerous cyst, and half of the impacted cases revealed an asymptomatic fracture of the mandible. In all patients except for the present case, metastasis had not been recorded. Surprisingly, no patients are known to have died of PIOC. In our experience the prognosis of PIOC associated with a completely impacted third molar is much better than commonly believed, although the number of cases involved is too small to make a general conclusion. However, delay in establishing the correct diagnosis followed by extraction without awareness of the carcinoma is know to adversely affect the prognosis.

“…Akute und chronische Osteomyelitis können in allen Alters gruppen mit einer männliche Prädominanz vorkommen [1, 6]. Bei der sekundär chronischen Os teomyelitis besteht oft eine Ähnlichkeit mit durch sekundäre Knocheninfektion verkomplizierten Malignitäten, was zu einer Verzögerung der korrekten Diagnosestellung führen kann[24]. Hier zeigt sich die besondere Bedeutung der histopathologischen Untersuchung.…”

ZusammenfassungDie Osteomyelitis im Bereich des Kiefers unterscheidet sich signifikant von Osteomyelitiden an derer skelettaler Bereiche. Ursächlich hierfür sind die speziellen immunologischen und mikro biologischen Gegebenheiten der oralen Kavität, die spezielle enorale Umgebung (u. a. mit dem Vorkommen von Zähnen) sowie eine andere Dichte an Blutgefäßen. Weiterhin liegt hier eine, im Vergleich zur Haut, dünne Mukosaschicht vor. Bei der Osteomyelitis des Kiefers existiert eine ver wirrende Anzahl von Klassifikationen und Terminologien, wobei mit der ZürichKlassifikation in jüngerer Zeit ein Vorschlag der Neuordnung unterbreitet wurde. Trotz der Verfügbarkeit einer anti biotischen Therapie und einer verbesserten dentalen und medizinischen Versorgung hat die Ent wicklung resistenter Mikroorganismen und die steigende Anzahl immunsupprimierter Patienten sowie anderer kompromittierender Voraussetzungen zu einer wieder ansteigenden Zahl thera pierefraktärer Fälle geführt. Besonders ältere Patienten mit Prädispositionsfaktoren wie vaskulären Erkrankungen, Diabetes mellitus und einer schlechten oralen Hygiene sind betroffen. Schlüsselwörter Osteomyelitis · Kiefer · Klassifikation · Antibiose · Debridement Osteomyelitis · Infections in the oral and maxillofacial area AbstractOsteomyelitis of the jaws differs significantly from osteomyelitis at other skeletal sites. These dif ferences are due to a different group of pathogens, the presence of teeth, a different blood vessel density, an oral environment and a thin mucosa as opposed to skin. These differences are also re lated in the confusing array of terms used to describe the different forms of jaw osteomyelitis. De spite the availability of an antibiotic therapy and an improved dental and medical provision, the development of microorganisms resistant to commonly used antibiotics and the increased num ber of immunocompromised patients have led again to an increase of cases refractory to standard treatments. Especially older patients with risk factors such as vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and poor oral hygiene can be affected.
