Basal-cell carcinoma in maxillary osteomyelitis.

S Kapoor, M S Kapoor

    The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Basal-cell carcinoma can occur with maxillary osteomyelitis. Multiple biopsies are recommended for early detection of malignant changes in such complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Basal-cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer.
    • Maxillary osteomyelitis is a serious infection of the jawbone.
    • Co-occurrence of these conditions is rare and presents diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of advanced disease.
    • Presenting features included blood-stained sinus discharge and infra-orbital ulceration.
    • Sudden onset of blindness was a critical presenting symptom.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with basal-cell carcinoma superimposed on maxillary osteomyelitis.
    • The clinical presentation was complex, potentially masking the underlying malignancy.
    • The case highlights the limitations of relying solely on clinical examination.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of malignancy in the setting of chronic infection is crucial.
    • Multiple biopsies from diverse sites of the lesion are essential for definitive diagnosis.
    • This case underscores the need for a high index of suspicion for malignant transformation in chronic inflammatory conditions of the maxilla.
