RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and long-term stability of individualized titanium mesh combined with free flap for orbital floor reconstruction after maxillectomy and to identify the risk factors for titanium mesh exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data of 66 patients who underwent maxillectomy and orbital floor defect reconstruction by individualized titanium mesh in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative ophthalmic function and success of aesthetic restoration were assessed. Titanium mesh exposure was recorded and the risk factors were identified. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was for 24.8 months (range, 6-92 months). Ophthalmic function was successfully restored in 63/66 patients. Aesthetic restoration was not considered satisfactory by 10 patients. Titanium mesh exposure occurred in six patients (exposure rate, 9.1%). Preoperative radiotherapy was identified as an independent risk factor for mesh exposure (OR = 28.8, P = 0.006). Previous surgery, postoperative radiotherapy, pathological type of the primary lesion, the type of tissue flap applied, and the use of intraoperative navigation were not significant risk factors. Six patients with titanium mesh exposure underwent second surgery, but mesh exposure recurred in two patients due to insufficient soft tissue coverage. CONCLUSION: Individualized titanium mesh with free flap can effectively restore maxilla-orbital defects. Preoperative radiotherapy is an independent predictor of postoperative titanium mesh exposure. Adequate soft tissue coverage of the mesh may reduce the risk of mesh exposure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 (case-control study) Laryngoscope, 131:2231-2237, 2021.

The purpose of this study was to describe the results of definitive radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy for maxillary sinus carcinomas (MSCs) with neck lymph node metastasis to clarify its limitation. Local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared between subgroups using the log rank test. Toxicity was classified using common terminology criteria of adverse events version 5.0. Eighteen patients with inoperable MSC with neck lymph node metastasis including 12 men and 6 women with a median age of 67 years were analyzed. The histologic diagnoses were as follows: 16 patients had squamous cell carcinomas and 2 had other histology. Four patients had stage T3 MSC, 6 had T4a and 8 had T4b. Among 18 patients, 7 received concurrent systemic chemotherapy and 11 received selective arterial chemo-infusion. The median follow-up period was 17 months. The 2-year LC, PFS and OS rates for the entire cohort were 34, 31 and 46%, respectively. No significant differences were observed for LC, PFS and OS rates between systemic chemotherapy and selective arterial chemo-infusion cohorts. Grade 3 or higher acute toxicity, including both non-hematological and hematological, was observed in nine patients (50%), while no grade 3 or higher late toxicity was observed. In conclusion, we described the results of definitive RT for MSCs with neck lymph node metastasis. Local recurrence of primary tumor was a frequent pattern of failure and it should be addressed in future study.

Malignancies have been reported to occasionally arise in scar tissue following injury. One hypothesis involves prolonged overactivation of tissue repair systems due to chronic inflammation and irritation, although the pathogenesis of cancers occurring in scars is not fully understood. We describe here two cases with a history of maxillary fracture at the site where squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) subsequently developed. The first patient developed SCC 7 years after right maxillary fractures resulting from a traffic accident. He underwent chemoradiotherapy (70 Gy in 35 fractions) and maintained complete response (CR) for 10 months. The second patient developed SCC 3 years after sustaining right maxillary fractures in an ice hockey game. Radiotherapy and total maxillectomy were performed, but local recurrence arose and he has since been receiving chemotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (neo-CT) for osteosarcomas is the standard of care. Management of maxillo-facial osteosarcomas (MFOS) is challenging. In this rare disease, we collected a large cohort of patients with the aim to report the histological and radiological local response rates to neo-CT. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All consecutive adult patients treated between 2001 and 2016 in two French sarcoma referral centers (Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, APHP, RESAP France and Gustave Roussy Institute France), for a histologically proved MFOS were included. Clinical, histological and radiological data were independently reviewed. Tumor response to neo-CT was assessed clinically, radiologically with independent review using RECIST v1.1 criterion and pathologically (percentage of necrosis). Multivariate analysis was done for outcomes, tumor response and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: A total of 35 high grade MFOS were collected. The clinical tumor response was 4% (1/24 receiving neo-CT), the radiological response was 0% (0/18 with available data) and the pathological response was 5% (1/20 with available data). Three patients (12.5%) initially resectable became unresectable due to clinical and radiological progression during neo-CT. Tumor size and R0 (clear margins) surgical resections were significantly associated with DFS. CONCLUSION: MFOS is a rare disease. This large retrospective cohort of MFOS indicates the lack of benefit and potentially deleterious effects of neo-CT. We suggest privileging primary surgery in initially localized resectable MFOS. The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy should be prospectively studied.

INTRODUCTION: Cisplatin is used as a standard chemotherapeutic agent for head and neck cancer treatment. However, some head and neck cancers have cisplatin resistance, leading to difficulty in treatment and poor prognosis. Overcoming cisplatin resistance remains an important strategy to improve prognoses for head and neck cancer patients. OBJECTIVE: Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance can suggest novel targets to enhance the anticancer effects of cisplatin for treating head and neck cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We used a cisplatin-resistant human maxillary cancer cell line, IMC-3CR to analyse the cisplatin resistance mechanisms. Cisplatin-induced genes were analysed in IMC-3CR cells using PCR array. Among the genes with expression increased by cisplatin, we specifically examined SESN1. SESN family reportedly regenerates peroxiredoxin and suppresses oxidative DNA injury by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be induced by chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, radiation, and hyperthermia. The function of SESN1 in cisplatin resistance and ROS generation were analysed using specific RNAi. RESULTS: Results show that SESN1 was induced by cisplatin treatment in IMC-3CR cells. Suppression of SESN1 by RNAi induced apoptosis and reduced cell viability through enhancement of ROS after cisplatin treatment. Moreover, suppression of SESN1 enhanced the cell-killing effects of hyperthermia with increased ROS, but did not affect the cell-killing effects of radiation. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the participation of SESN1 in cisplatin and hyperthermia resistance of human head and neck cancers. SESN1 is a novel molecular target to overcome cisplatin resistance and hyperthermia resistance and improve head and neck cancer treatment.

BACKGROUND: Parosteal osteosarcomas are usually low-grade tumors, however, sometimes they transform to high-grade tumors, which is named dedifferentiation. This phenomenon has been reported in long bones. Recently, we encountered a patient with dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma occurring in the maxilla. Here, we report a first case of dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma of the head and neck region. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old Japanese woman with a refractory bone lesion in the maxilla presented to our hospital. A biopsy showed atypical spindle cell proliferation involving dedifferentiated high-grade component, which was diagnosed as dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma. Three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using ifosfamide and pirarubicin were performed followed by sub-total maxillectomy. Histopathological results showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy was effective for high-grade component. The decision to perform adjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin and pirarubicin) was made because distant metastasis has been reported, even in cases with dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma in which complete necrosis of high-grade component was achieved due to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. There was no recurrence 15 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma can occur in the head and neck region. Chemotherapy including anthracycline anticancer agent could be effective for high-grade component of dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma.

Ameloblastoma is a histologically benign but locally aggressive tumor of the jaws. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to review the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of patients with ameloblastoma of the mandible and maxilla and to report the outcomes of treatment. Our study population was made up of a series of 30 consecutively presenting patients-15 men and 15 women, aged 19 to 81 years (median: 61.5)-who had undergone their primary treatment of ameloblastoma of the mandible or maxilla at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from January 1987 through December 2012. In addition to demographic data, we compiled information on clinical characteristics, imaging findings, the type of surgery, surgical margins, adjuvant treatments, histologic patterns, length of follow-up, time to recurrence, treatment of recurrence, and factors that had an influence on recurrence. All but 2 patients with negative margins were cured. Favorable outcomes were associated with the administration of adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy for patients with positive margins and a repeat resection for patients with recurrences. Complete excision with negative margins, however, remains the gold standard for curative treatment.

PURPOSE: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which are multipotent stromal cells, are considered to be a promising resource in tissue engineering and tissue regeneration. MSCs have been used to generate new maxillary bone with clinically successful results. The aim of this study was to determine the role of MSC in bone regeneration procedures in patients with benign maxillary lesions. METHODS: A study was conducted on five patients treated for maxillary bone defects resulting from biopsy of benign lesions at the University Hospital of Magna Græcia, Catanzaro, Italy from January 2015 to October 2016. MSC from autologous bone marrow were used for bone regeneration. The bone mineral density was compared, using the Hounsfield scale, before and after treatment. Follow-up was monthly for six months, and the patients underwent a computed tomography scan of the maxilla at 6 months. RESULTS: Five patients, who underwent biopsy of osteolytic odontogenic benign tumors, were included in the study. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. The mean volume of the newly formed bone was 2.44cm3 (range 2,0-3,1) and the mean bone density was 1137 Hounsfield Units (range 898-1355). CONCLUSIONS: Bone regeneration with MSC from autologous bone marrow appears to be a valid treatment option for maxillary bone defects.

OBJECTIVES: Brown tumours are benign bone tumours secondary to hyperparathyroidism. The authors describe the various clinical features, diagnostic methods and treatment modalities for maxillofacial brown tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This multicentre retrospective study comprised 5 patients (four women and one man, between the ages of 29 and 70 years) with one or several maxillofacial brown tumours observed over a 16-year period from January 2000 to December 2016. RESULTS: Four patients presented secondary hyperparathyroidism in a context of chronic renal failure, one patient presented primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. Three patients presented a mandibular brown tumour, and two patients presented a maxillary brown tumour. The diagnosis was based on histological examination and laboratory tests. Brown tumours were treated either surgically or conservatively. A favourable outcome was observed in all cases. CONCLUSION: Brown tumours are rare lesions. This diagnosis must be considered in a context of giant cell tumour associated with hyperparathyroidism. Brown tumours should be treated conservatively.

BACKGROUND: The rarity of Ewing's sarcoma (ES) in the maxillofacial region of children, coupled with the technical challenge of resection and associated functional and cosmetic impairment has resulted in deficient data regarding the optimal local control of the disease. OBJECTIVE: To describe our experience in the management of primary maxillofacial ES in children, focusing on the therapeutic modalities for local control of the disease. STUDY DESIGN: Single institution observational study. METHODS: This is a single institution review of patients, treated between 2007 and 2016. RESULTS: Six primary maxillofacial ES were treated according to the EURO-EWING 99 protocol, consisting of a uniform chemotherapy regimen, combined selectively with surgery and radiotherapy as local treatment. Patients' mean age was 9.42 years (range 6-12.5 years). One patient initially suffered from metastasis and succumbed to the disease; another refused further treatment following chemotherapy and was lost to follow-up. Four patients underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy successfully. At a mean follow-up of 3.78 years relapse-free and overall survival rates were 60% and 80% respectively. The aesthetic and functional outcome was satisfactory in all treated patients. CONCLUSIONS: In eligible cases the combination of chemotherapy with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy results in optimal oncological and functional outcome for children with ES of the maxillofacial region. Metastasis and poor response to chemotherapy are the most important adverse prognostic factors.

The advance of clinical diagnosis and treatment in oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumors has been through the process of specialization and multidisciplinary cooperation. In most cases, a single discipline cannot meet the requirements of diagnosis and treatment, which needs the cooperation of oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology and oncology approach and therapeutic method such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Holistic integrative medicine aims at integrating the most effective clinical practice experience and patients' individual situation and prognosis, establishing new medical mode conforming to the modern concept and fulfilling the medical system adapting to the specific characteristics of the diseases.

OBJECTIVE: The management of the clinically node negative (N0) neck in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the maxilla (MSCC) is a matter of debate. In this retrospective cohort study the incidence of occult metastases is determined in clinically N0 MSCCs, as well as histopathological factors associated with occult metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 95 patients with clinically N0 MSCCs had maxillectomy. 18 patients with elective treatment of the neck were excluded. The remaining 77 patients followed a 'watch and wait' strategy for the neck and were included in this study. The incidence of occult metastases was calculated and Cox regression analysis was used to assess the predictive and prognostic value of clinical and histopathological parameters. RESULTS: Occult metastases occurred in 14.3% (11/77) in the whole cohort and in 19.0% (11/58) in T2-T4 clinically N0 MSCC. Patients with T4 clinically N0 MSCC, showed the highest rate of occult metastases (24.1%). 45.5% of the occult metastases developed in the contralateral neck. The hazard ratio to develop occult metastasis was 5.39 (p=0.017) for perineural growth and 11.12 (p=0.003) for perivascular invasion. Salvage for cervical recurrence was poor at 40%. CONCLUSION: We recommend elective treatment of the neck or improved diagnostics to detect occult metastases in T2-T4 clinically N0 MSCC or when the biopsy specimen shows perineural growth or perivascular invasion. Since the contralateral neck was involved in 45.5% of the regional recurrences, we emphasize the importance of bilateral neck management. Improved diagnostics, like sentinel node biopsy, could possibly further reduce occult metastatic disease.

BACKGROUND: Maxillary ameloblastomas are rare and associated with an aggressive course because of the anatomic composition of the maxilla and adjacent structures. The risk factors associated with recurrence were analyzed in this retrospective study. METHODS: Cases of maxillary ameloblastoma reported in a tertiary hospital from 2005 to 2015 were analyzed to identify clinicopathological and radiological factors associated with recurrence using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 890 patients with ameloblastomas were treated in this study, of whom only 51 (5.7%) had maxillary ameloblastomas. The median follow-up period was 56 ± 28.65 months. Of the maxillary ameloblastomas, 29 (56.8%) were primary and 22 (43.1%) were recurrent. Soft tissue or maxillary sinus invasion and primary or recurrent tumor status were risk factors significantly associated with recurrence in the univariate analyses (p = .006 vs p = .025, respectively), whereas the association between recurrence and surgical methods was borderline significant (p = .08). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that soft tissue or maxillary sinus involvement was significantly associated with recurrence (p = .023). CONCLUSION: Recurrent tumors and tumors with soft tissue or maxillary sinus involvement were risk factors for recurrence among patients with maxillary ameloblastoma. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Many clinical studies and literature reviews have suggested that bar and ball attachments in maxillary and mandibular implant-supported overdentures (ISOs) should be indicated only when there is sufficient interocclusal space (IOS; minimum = 30 mm). The aim of this clinical report was to present the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma associated with microstomia due to radiotherapy (IOS = 23 mm). ISOs offer superior retention and greater stability than conventional obturators, so that base extensions were kept to the minimum. Placing the balls parallel to the prosthesis path of insertion is much easier with this treatment modality.

PURPOSE: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with a central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) treated at a single center to assess and compare the different surgical and non-surgical approaches. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cohort with a single histologically proven non-syndrome-related CGCG was selected and reviewed. Patients were allocated to group I (surgery), group II (pharmacotherapy), and group III (pharmacotherapy and surgery). The primary outcome was long-term radiologic response using computed tomography. Secondary outcomes were intermediate radiologic responses and occurrence and severity of side effects. RESULTS: Thirty-three subjects were included in the study. The surgical group (n = 4) included 1 patient with progression during follow-up and a relatively high post-surgical morbidity. Twenty-nine patients started on various pharmacological treatment regimens (groups II and III). Fourteen patients could be managed without additional surgery. One of these lesions showed progression during follow-up. The other 15 lesions underwent additional surgery, and none showed progression during follow-up. Interferon treatment was associated with the most side effects. CONCLUSION: Pharmacological agents have a role in the treatment of aggressive and non-aggressive CGCGs by limiting the renewed progression during long-term follow up and the extent and morbidity of surgical treatment.

BACKGROUND: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a familial cancer predisposition associated with a germline mutation in TP53. Patients with LFS are at risk of developing malignancies and require comprehensive screening. We describe an index case of LFS presenting with mucosal melanoma. METHODS: A 21-year-old woman presented with a left maxillary mucosal lesion and a left neck mass. Biopsies revealed metastatic mucosal melanoma, which is a pathology previously unreported in LFS families. Genetic testing revealed LFS, with a germline TP53 mutation, and pedigree analysis identified 9 first-degree and second-degree relatives with hematologic malignancies. RESULTS: The patient underwent a maxillectomy and left neck dissection, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. At 30-month follow-up, there was no evidence of local, regional, or distant failure, nor did she develop a second primary tumor. CONCLUSION: This represents the first reported case of LFS associated with mucosal melanoma. Treatment considerations, specifically the risks of adjuvant therapy in LFS, are discussed. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: E20-E22, 2017.
