Non-endemic Burkitt's lymphoma.

Burkitt's lymphoma, characterized by jaw and abdominal tumors, is the most common early childhood malignancy in Central Africa and well-known in the United States, with only sporadic reports coming from other countries. Considered to be the fastest growing tumor in man, it is thought to be of viral etiology with warm, humid climate and malaria regarded as co-factors. This is the first case of Burkitt's lymphoma reported from Greece.

Odontogenic fibroma.

Odontogenic fibroma is a very rare lesion. Although it is considered to be of odontogenic origin, the exact mechanism of its histogenesis is not clear. A case of this rare neoplasm is presented.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the jaws. Review of the literature and report of 2 cases.

Strictly speaking, the aneurysmal bone cyst is not a true cyst. It is a lesion characterized by replacement of bone by fibro-osseous tissue containing blood-filled cavernous spaces. It is usually treated by surgical curettage, and access within the jaws may sometimes be difficult. We reviewed the world literature and found 63 cases of aneurysmal bone cysts involving the face, 22 reported in the maxilla, and 63 in the mandible. One was found in the zygomatic arch. Of the patients reported, 88% were younger than 30 years old; there was an equal sex distribution. Included in this report, are two cases of our own, one involving the maxilla and one the mandible.

Maxillary angiosarcoma.

A malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin, angiosarcoma, is a rare entity deriving from the endothelium of the blood vessels, that very infrequently is encountered in the jaws. 46 such cases have only been reported.

Cementoblastoma: review of the literature and report of a case in a 7 year-old girl.

Cementoblastoma is a very rare tumour of mesenchymal odontogenic origin. It usually affects adolescents and young adults, the youngest patient ever reported being 8 years-old. It is treated by enucleation and has an excellent prognosis. We review the world literature on the subject and present a case of cementoblastoma in a 7 year-old girl.

Fibrosarcoma of the mandible.

Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignancy in the oral cavity. Tumours of fibrous connective tissue are sometimes difficult to classify as benign or malignant. The literature is reviewed and three cases of oral fibrosarcoma are presented.

Odontogenic keratocysts: review of the literature and report of sixteen cases.

Sixteen cases of odontogenic keratocyst are reported. Two of the patients had basal cell nevus syndrome. The provisional diagnosis in most of the 16 cases was other than odontogenic keratocyst, and the presenting symptoms were usually swelling, pain, and sinus tract formation. The treatment varied from simple enucleation to marsupialization, homogenous bone grafting, and iliac bone grafting. There was a 25% recurrence rate, mostly associated with treatment by enucleation, cysts that were parakeratinized or difficulty in removing the lesion.

Glenoid fossa fracture and facial nerve palsy.

Facial nerve palsy associated with traumatic injury in the temporomandibular joint area is a rather infrequent condition. Fracture of the glenoid fossa is a very rare condition, especially when it is not combined with displacement of the condyle in the middle cranial fossa. We are reporting the combination of these 2 conditions in a victim of a road traffic accident.

Cherubism.

Cherubism is a benign, hereditary giant cell lesion of the jaws, that appears in children as a bilateral painless swelling, between the ages of 2 and 5 years and progresses until puberty, when it spontaneously regresses. It normally requires no treatment. We had the chance to operate on a 5-year-old boy with cherubism 8 years ago, and used homogenous bone grafts to replace the diseased tissue to avoid pathological fracture of the mandible. Since then we have been following the patient, witnessing the gradual involvement of other sites in the jaws and the displacement of teeth and tooth germs.

The superior orbital fissure syndrome.

The superior orbital fissure syndrome is a very rare condition, characterized by a fixed dilated pupil, ptosis and proptosis of the eye and ophthalmoplegia. We have had the opportunity to observe a number of such cases, and now report four of them.
