BONY TUMOURS OF MAXILLOFACIAL REGION : RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL PROFILE AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
Abstract
Introduction: Maxillo-facial tumours are a group of heterogenous diseases that ranges from
hamartomas or non-neoplastic tissue proliferations to benign neoplastic to malignant tumors
with metastatic potentials. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinico-pathological
profile and management of primary lesions of facio-maxillary region.
Material and Methods: Retrospective data of bony tumors of maxilla-facial region was
retrieved for 2 years from March 2015 to April 2017. The data included the gender, age,
diagnosis based on radiology, histopathology and the site of origin.
Results: A total of 18 patients were diagnosed as a bony tumour of maxillofacial region and
treated surgically. Fibrous dysplasia, Odontogenic cyst and Ameloblastoma were the most
common lesions.
Conclusion: Bony tumours of Maxillofacical region though uncommon and mostly benign,
pose a great challenge to preserve the functions and cosmesis.
