Melanoma of the face and mouth in Nigeria. A review and comment on three cases.

The absolute incidence of melanoma at all sites in blacks is higher than is commonly credited. There is a shift in site incidence to less pigmented areas including the mucosae but oral melanoma is still rarely reported in Africans. An unusual case of facial melanoma arising in a childhood naevus, and two oral melanomas, all in Nigerians, are described. The salient clinical features and the treatment of these cases are discussed, and the possible relationship between pigmented patches and melanomas in the mouths of blacks is examined.

Reconstruction of mandibular defects by autogenous bone grafts: a review of 37 cases.

Thirty-seven cases of autogenous bone grafted to the mandible at the maxillofacial unit, Kaduna, Nigeria, were reviewed. The ilium was used in the majority of cases. In four cases where the recipient beds were vascular, the rib was used. The various techniques for restoring the central arch defects of the mandible are discussed and the methods we used are described. The superiority of autogenous bone grafts over homografts and heterografts is emphasized.

Ameloblastic fibroma--a case report.

A case of ameloblastic fibroma in a female Nigerian child aged 4 years is reported. The case is shown to present the main clinical and histological features described in similar cases. Two unusual findings are emphasised, namely the radiographical appearance of multilocular rather than the usual unilocular radiolucency and the great extent of bone erosion. Thorough curettage is advocated as the treatment of choice and careful follow-up is recommended.
