ABSTRACT

Ameloblastoma is a benign aggressive odontogenic tumor which requires early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It commonly affects the mandible and radical surgery is the gold standard treatment. We report the case of a patient with ameloblastoma in extremely advanced phase affecting the maxillary sinus who was treated with intensity modulated conformal radiation therapy. Patient's evolution was marked by complete remission maintained after 24 months follow-up. Maxillary ameloblastoma is not well documented in the literature. It is usually diagnosed at the later stage when optimal surgery cannot be performed. This case study aimed to demonstrate that radiation therapy is a real therapeutic alternative in the treatment of advanced and inoperable forms of ameloblastoma.

ABSTRACT

Bronchopulmonary cancer (CBP) in pregnant woman is a rare entity with a poor outcome. This situation is becoming increasingly common, due to the increase in smoking among women. Transplacental transmission of tumor associated with fetal damage is described especially among untreated women. Treatment is multidisciplinary and it is not well codified. We report the case of a 23 year old patient with small cell bronchial carcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy. She had received chemotherapy during pregnancy and it was well tolerated. Radiological evaluation objectified a stabilization of the pulmonary process. The treatment was completed with concomitant radiochemotherapy after delivery.
