“…Panoramic radiography can be useful in cases of gross disease, but is of limited value in evaluating margins, extension and invasion of the tumor mass. CT allows visualization of the cited features as indicators of aggressiveness and is, therefore, indicated in cases of potentially malignant maxillofacial tumors (13). The histopathologic features of de novo PIOC are consistent with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma with or without keratinisation.…”

Primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma of the jaws has been rarely reported. We present a new case of this unusual tumour and discuss its histopathological and clinical aspects. The subject was a 76-year-old man who was seen due to complaints of pain and the presence of gingival changes in the left mandible. A panoramic radiograph and computed tomography revealed a large mandibular radiolucency. A segmentary mandibulectomy was performed and histopathologic examination proved that the tumour was an intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. Surgeons should appreciate the aggressiveness of this tumour, despite adequate surgical treatment.

“…The plain radiograph of the cyst is similar to benign cystic lesions which made Cavalcanti et al [9] stated that CT scan would be more sensitive tool for detecting carcinomatous changes as it would show the destruction of adjacent bone, if present. The present case had only a panoramic radiograph which was taken to detect the lesion and in which features of malignancy were not evident.…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. We hereby report, not previously reported a characteristic case of an odontogenic keratocyst related to the anterior maxillary teeth in a teenage female of 13 years. On histological examination of the biopsy, frank invasion was seen and a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma on top of keratocyst was given. IJCRI publishes Review Conclusion:The diagnosis was predicted on recognition of the histopathologic features of odontogenic keratocyst associated with dysplastic features of the epithelial lining and areas of invasion in other parts; the clinical symptoms are modest, only presenting a palatal swelling.

“…The radiographic appearance is radiolucency demonstrating irregular and noncorticated margins. Large extensive lesions may show cortical bone expansion and destruction (1,8,13). Lymph node metastasis from PIOSCC is rare, and prognosis is generally good in those of odonotogenic cyst origin (1,14,15,16) as long as they are appropriately treated.…”
