Characteristics of malignant Lesion:
Non healing sore in the mouth, loosening of teeth, ill fitting dental prosthesis, change in voice, dysphagia, trismus, otalgia, or weight loss.6
BiopsyIndications;Any persistent pathologic condition that cannot be clinically diagnosedLesions with no identifiable cause that persists for greater than 2 weeks despite local therapyEnlarging intrabony lesionsVisible/ palpable submucosal swelling beneath clinically normal mucosaAny lesion with malignant/ premalignant characteristicsConfirmation of clinical diagnosisLesions not responding to routine clinical management over 2 weeksAny lesion that is of extreme concern for patient
Brush cytology differs from exfoliate cytology in that it removes an entire transepithelial layer for cytologic evaluation as opposed to the sloughing surface layer of the mucosa.7
BiopsyCytologic techniquesIncisional biopsyExcisional biopsyAspiration biopsy
Brush cytology differs from exfoliate cytology in that it removes an entire transepithelial layer for cytologic evaluation as opposed to the sloughing surface layer of the mucosa.8
Incision BiopsyIndications:Large lesion > 1 cm diameterLocation in risky or hazardous regions
PrinciplesSite is carefully chosen after thorough clinical and radiological examinationAspiration is always tried beforeIncision in wedge shaped fashionNormal tissue should be includedTissue specimen should not be crushedDeeper biopsies over superficial onesProper hemostasis before closureSpecimen should be well oriented and markedTissue is immediately placed in formalin
Usually edge except in post radiotherapy pt. where blood supply is severely compromised at edges and tumor proliferates at the centre11
Intraosseous BiopsyPerformed after thorough Neck examination as cervical lymphadenitis is inevitable after the procedure rendering clinical neck examination to produce false positive resultsNecessary because diagnosis from frozen section not possibleSite: Extraction socket or flap reflection
Full thickness mucoperiosteal flap of adequate extention is made.Flap should rest entirely on sound bone for closure. Eroded area of cortical bone should be approached from the lesion margins over sound bone.Major neurovascular structures should be avoided.Precautionary aspiration performed before biopsy to prevent inadverant excision into vascular lesion.Osseous window created on the cortical plate either with bur of rongeurs.Specimen can be curetted from the surrounding bone.

Odontogenic fibromaGranular cell odontogenic tumorOdontogenic myxomaCementoblastomaBenign Odontogenic tumors
The fact that odontogenic tumors are common can be mainly explained by the fact that the odontogenic structures are formed rather d/t complex interaction between epithelial and mesenchymal component beginning from 5-6th wk of IUL lasting till 16th yr of birthDifference depends on embryonic stage of initiation and histology. Overlap and combination of features are possible. Histopathologic investigations to some extent helps to predict the biologic activity of the lesion14

Others: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, secondaries/mets16
Non Odontogenic malignancies
OsteosarcomaFibrosarcoma and chondrosarcomaSquamous cell carcinomaSecondary (metastatic) bone tumours
Peak age Adults, about 40 years old.
Frequency Rare, but still the most common odontogenic tumour; 1% of all oral tumors, 18% of all odontogenic tumors
Site Posterior body/angle/ramus of mandible, very occasionally involves the maxilla.
Clinical Feature asymptomatic, slow growing, hard, non tender, ovoid swelling; may be associated with mobile teeth, exfoliation of teeth, ill fitting dentures, malocclusion, paraesthesia or ulcerations; large lesion may present with egg shell cracklingAmeloblastoma
Malignant transformation 2.4% with chance to metastasize into lungs

Shape Multilocular, distinct septa dividing the lesion into compartments with large, apparently discrete areas centrally and with smaller areas on the periphery; Occasionally monolocular in early stages Honeycomb or soap-bubble appearance or multicystic shape varies with different histological subtypes.
Outline Smooth and scalloped; Well defined, Well corticated.
Radiodensity Radiolucent with internal radiopaque septa.
Effects Adjacent teeth displaced, loosened, often resorbed Extensive expansion in all dimensions; Buccolongual cortical expansion prominentThin eggshell cortical bone Maxillary lesions can extend into the paranasal sinuses, orbit or base of the skull
Non encapsulated (excision margin with 2 cm >SOLID, 1-1.5 cm> CYSTIC); enlarges and invades by replacing tissues rather than pushing themExpansion of bony plate with remodeling but if it cannot keep pace with expansion causes thinning of cortices19
Follicular, Plexiform, Acanthamatous, Granular, Desmoplastic, Basal cell typeSheets and islands of tumor cellsOuter rim of ameloblasts like cell is polarized away from basement membraneCenter looks like stellate reticulum20
OdontomesAge 1st and 2nd decades
Site commonly seen in; posterior mandible, anterior maxilla esp in third molar region
Clinical Features asymptomatic, no obvious bony or facial asymmetry; may be associated with unerupted teeth
Hamartoma: overgrowth of disorganised normal tissue that have a limite growth potential21
Compound odontome It is made up of several small toothlike denticles. The miniature tooth shapes are of dental tissue radiodensity, with a surrounding radiolucent line, and are easily identified radiographically.
Complex odontomeThis odontome is made up of an irregular, confused mass of dental tissues bearing no resemblance in shape to a tooth. The enamel content provides the dense radiopacity, suggestive of dental tissue and again the mass is surrounded by a radiolucent line
Fibrous dysplasiaAge 10-20 year-old adolescents.
Site Maxilla usually posteriorly, more commonly than the mandible. Maxillary lesions may spread to involve adjacent bones such as the zygoma, sphenoid, occiput and base of skull.
Size Variable and difficult to define.
Shape Round.
Outline Poorly defined with the margins merging imperceptibly with adjacent normal bone Not corticated.
Radiodensity Initially radiolucent (but rarely seen clinically at this stage) Gradually becomes opaque to produce the typical ground glass, orange peel and finger print appearances resulting from superimposition of many fine, poorly-calcified bone trabeculae arranged in a disorganized fashion. Continuing to become more opaque with age.
Effects Adjacent teeth sometimes displaced but rarely resorbed loss of associated lamina dura Buccal and lingual alveolar expansion Encroachment on, or obliteration of, the antrum Involvement of adjacent bones including the base of the skull.
Mx: recontouring; surgical shave down procedure24
Fibrous dysplasia. A Periapical showing the overall fine stippled trabecular pattern (orange peel), and loss of the lamina dura around the j. B Lower 90 occlusal centred on the right side again showing the ground glass appearance and expansion but involving the mandible in the premolar and molar regions (arrowed). The anterior part of the mandible is unaffected. C 0 OM showing expansion of the right posterior maxilla and total obliteration of the right antrum25
Age Younger adults lesser than 30 years old.
Frequency Rare, but the most common primary malignant bone tumour.
Site Usually the mandible.
SizeShapeOutlineRadiodensityFrom a radiological viewpoint, there are three main types:Osteolytic no neoplastic bone formationOsteosclerotic neoplastic osteoid and bone formedMixed lytic and sclerotic patches of neoplastic bone formed.
All very variabledepending on the type oflesion (lytic or sclerotic)and how long it has beenpresent.Osteosarcoma
Presentation 1 decade earlier than in long bones26
EffectsEarly features: Non-specific, poorly defined radiolucent area around one or more teeth. Widening of the periodontal ligament space.Later features: Osteolytic lesion: Monolocular, ragged area of radiolucency Poorly defined, moth-eaten outline. Cumulous cloud densities So-called spiking resorption and/or loosening of associated teeth. Osteosclerotic and mixed lesions: Poorly defined radiolucent area Variable internal radiopacity with obliteration of the normal trabecular pattern Perforation and expansion of the cortical margins by stretching the periosteum, producing the classical, but rare sun ray or sunburst appearance Spiking resorption and/or loosening of associated teeth Distortion of the alveolar ridge

Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral mucosadirectly overlying bone, in their latter stages, often invade the underlying bone to produce a destructive radiolucency.
Age Adults over 50 years old.
Frequency Rare, but the most common oral malignant tumour.
Site Mandible, or maxilla if originating in the antrum.
Size Variable.Squamous cell carcinoma
Shape Irregular area of bone destruction often initially saucer-shaped.
Outline Irregular and moth-eaten Poorly defined Not corticated.
Radiodensity Radiolucent, radiodensity dependent on degree of destruction.
Effects Adjacent teeth may be displaced, loosened and/or resorbed or left floating in space Destruction of surrounding bone may lead to pathological fracture.

The radiograph shows two areas of poorly defined radiolucency (arrowed) with a ragged or moth-eaten appearance. B Left side of a lower 90 occlusal of the same patient showing the bony destruction (arrowed) of the lingual surface of the mandible as the soft tissue tumour invades the bone.31
Sentinel Node BiopsySentinel NodeFirst node to receive lymphatic drainage
Open biopsies not performed as it violates the field and can cause seeding33

General principlesFactors influencing treatment planning;Site of diseaseStageHistologyAgePrevious radiotherapyField change
Lymphoma: radiotherapySCC: resistant to radiotherapy. So, surgeryBenign: excision
Reccurence: radioresistant; difficult surgery d/t fibrous scar
Field change: surgery preferred; extensive premalignant change of the oral mucosa in multiple primary tumors
