An unusual bilateral pathological fracture.

D E Kelly, W F Harrigan

    Journal of Oral Surgery (American Dental Association : 1965)
    |January 1, 1977

    Summary

    This case report details a rare bilateral pathological fracture of the mandible. Fractures occurred due to osteomyelitis on the right and a cementifying fibroma on the left mandible.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pathological fractures of the mandible are uncommon, often associated with underlying pathology.
    • Bilateral fractures are exceedingly rare, presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with bilateral pathological mandibular fractures.
    • The right mandibular fracture involved an area of *Bacteroides* osteomyelitis.
    • The left mandibular fracture occurred through a large cementifying fibroma replacing the mandibular body.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights the diverse etiologies of pathological mandibular fractures.
    • Demonstrates the potential for both infectious and neoplastic processes to weaken mandibular bone integrity.
    • Illustrates a unique case of simultaneous bilateral mandibular fracture from distinct pathological causes.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough diagnostic workups for mandibular fractures, considering both infectious and neoplastic conditions.
    • Informs surgical planning and treatment strategies for complex bilateral mandibular fractures.
    • Contributes to the understanding of rare mandibular pathologies and their complications.
