Purpose:
The decision of whether to perform continuity-sparing or resecting surgery of the jaw in cases of malignant oral tumors is often difficult.
Patients And Methods:
To aid in this decision, bone scintigraphy was evaluated retrospectively in 304 patients with a squamous cell carcinoma.
Results:
One hundred forty-five patients showed no accumulation of the radionuclide, and none of them had infiltration by tumor histologically.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that a bone-sparing resection of tumors close to the jaw may be justified when there is a negative bone scan.
