  • Title: Malignant tumours of the jaws.
    Author: Coleman H, Sukumar S.
    Journal: SADJ; 2012 Nov; 67(10):578-80. PubMed ID: 23957100.
    Abstract:
    Almost all variants of malignant primary and secondary tumours of bone have been described as occurring within the jaws. Odontogenic carcinomas and sarcomas are peculiar to the jawbones and are distinctly uncommon. Non-odontogenic tumours in comparison arise with more frequency, yet the maxilla and mandible remain unusual sites for most primary and secondary non-odontogenic tumours of bone. The most commonly occurring primary bone tumours affecting the jaws include osteosarcoma, Burkitt's lymphoma and multiple myeloma, while secondary or metastatic tumours to the jaws are rare in contrast to the remainder of the skeleton.
