Immediate free flap mandibular reconstruction in osteosarcoma of the mandible in childhood.

Mandibular osteogenic sarcoma (OS) is a very rare entity in childhood. Adequate surgical rejection with a wide margin of normal tissue is the mainstay of treatment of this site, while the role of adjuvant chemotherapy remains uncertain. A case is presented of a 15 1/2-year-old male with a huge OS of the mandible. The boy underwent surgical resection of the mandible with immediate fibula free flap reconstruction and is alive and free of disease 6 1/2 years following unitial diagnosis. This case suggests that immediate bone reconstitution with vascularized grafts have good functional and morphological results for osteosarcoma of the lower jaw.

[Garre's chronic osteomyelitis].

In this paper we present a typical case of GARRE's chronic osteomyelitis. The patient was a 11 years old boy who has been examined for an asymptomatic hard swelling of the mandible on the right side. The X-ray examination with panoramic film revealed radiolucency apically of No 46 and 85 molars and in the occlusal film it was evident the "onion-peel" appearance of newly formed bone. A diagnosis of GARRE's chronic osteomyelitis was made and the teeth were extracted. Two months later after the extraction there wasn't swelling on the mandible.
