A head and neck surgeon dealing with non epithelial tumours (NET) of
the maxilla and mandible feels his steps with considerable caution. This
study presents abnormal situations where some NET were misdiagnosed
or difficult to diagnose. Such swellings present a diagnostic dilemma both
clinically and histopathologically
Fifteen patients are here discribed. Three cases were suffering front
rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the mandible, five from Non Hodgkin's lymphoma
(NHL), three from chondrosarcoma of the mandible, two from nettroblastoma,
the remaining two cases suffered from myxoma and malignantfibrous
histocytoma (MPH). |
