Introduction. Ameloblastomas are clinically the most important type of odontogenic tumors. Solid or multicystic form most commonly affects mandible, it is highly aggressive and shows high rates of recurrence. The aim was to report aggressive behavior of a rare maxillary solid ameloblastoma, emphasizing the clinical, tomographic and histological aspects. Case Report. A young and asymptomatic patient, presenting a solid ameloblastoma initially located in the maxillary sinus with rapid spreading to the adjacent tissues, had early recurrence despite radical surgical approach. Conclusion. Multicystic or solid ameloblastoma has lower incidence in maxilla and extremely aggressive behavior, justifying careful follow-up of the patients.

We report an interesting case of maxillary sinus pneumocele that presented with aesthetic deformity and completely treated with Caldwell-Luc approach and thoroughly review all of the past literature focusing on clinical symptoms and surgical approach. Based on our comprehensive review of maxillary sinus pneumocele, we found 2 important characteristics. First, maxillary sinus pneumocele may be asymptomatic but cause various symptoms owing to the displacement of neighboring structures, such as facial symptoms, eye symptoms, and nasal obstruction. Second, there is no standard operation technique for maxillary sinus pneumocele, but surgical approach should be individualized depending on patient’s symptoms and needs. Therefore, more case studies are needed to confirm this.

The Aesthetic

Osteochondroma manifests as a benign tumor that occurs as an abnormal bony development. This tumor is commonly asymptomatic and presents an exophytic outgrowth on bone surfaces, near synovial joints, a condition that invariably induces evident facial deformities. Treatment for this type of tumor usually involves a surgical approach promoting a total or partial resection of the affected anatomical area associated to prosthetic reconstruction of the bone area extracted. We present a case report about a giant mandibular condyle osteochondroma in a 37-year-old female patient. Her treatment involved a total condylectomy without immediate condylar reconstruction, which would be performed in a posterior surgical approach. During the patient’s follow-up (every 6 months of post operation), a spontaneous and rudimentary condyle-like formation was observed. Because the stomatognathic function and facial harmony were satisfactory, we observed the condyle-like development for 5 years of follow-up. Also, because both the aesthetic aspect and functional evolution of the maxillary bone were considered satisfactory, no complementary reconstruction surgical treatment was required for the giant osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle.

Introduction: Infantile endodermal oculomotor nerve cyst (EONC) is an extremely rare entity. There are very few pediatric cases reported in the literature, and as expected, oculomotor palsy is the most common presenting symptom. To date however, the risk of recurrence of these lesions following surgical intervention is unclear due to a lack of long-term radiological follow-up. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 13-month-old male patient with an EONC and detail his surgical fenestration and postoperative course. Somewhat surprisingly, re-expansion occurred within 6 months and remained stable 2 years later. Discussion: A surgical approach to fenestration of an EONC in an infant is possible and should be performed by an expert neurosurgeon. Early recurrence is underreported in the current literature, and we encourage longer term radiological surveillance of these lesions after surgery to optimize primary and recurrent management in the future.

Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare and benign intraosseous lesion that usually occurs in the mandible and the maxilla. It might be aggressive. Nowadays, several treatments exist. Observation: This case report, with a three years follow-up, was about an aggressive and recurring form of CGCG exclusively managed by surgical approach. Comments: Several pharmacologic approaches are possible (intralesional injections of glucocorticoids, administration of calcitonin, alpha-2a interferon, denosumab) and could be an interesting alternative or complement to the surgical management when CGCG is aggressive, recurring, or non resectable. Conclusion: Surgical approach is the gold standard for the treatment of CGCG but sometimes, pharmacologic approaches could be proposed. According to the scientific literature, denosumab appears as a reliable and effective treatment but more prospective studies are needed.

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of Paranasal sinus is a rare entity with special characteristics; their locations in the air spaces of the face coming in second row. The prognosis depends on tumor stage and extension into the paranasal sinuses We related the case of a primitive NHL located in the maxillary sinus in a patient of 50 years, invading the entire homolateral nasal cavity. The histopathologic interpretation was B cell lymphoma; the patient received 5 adjuvant chemotherapy treatments according to the CHOP protocol, followed by locoregional external radiotherapy and the evolution was favorable after eighteen months follow-up
