  • Title: [Pathological fracture of the mandible: a report of a clinical case treated with clodronate].
    Author: Califano L, Zupi A, Maremonti P, Longo F, Mangone GM, Marinelli A.
    Journal: G Chir; 1999; 20(6-7):307-9. PubMed ID: 10390927.
    Abstract:
    Oral squamous cell carcinoma often invades the mandible. However, the incidence of pathological fractures of the maxillofacial bones is low and their treatment is rarely satisfactory. A patient, too weak to undergo surgery, affected by squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular region with bone involvement and pathological fracture of the mandible, underwent chemotherapy with carboplatin associated with diphosphonate.
