Before surgery, the diagnosis is difficult to establish because of its diverse manifestations. In the head and neck, manifestation is rare and may occur in the upper respiratory tract, soft tissues, orbits, and skull base. This article aims to report a rare manifestation of the disease in the face, highlighting the importance of a correct diagnosis to determine the most appropriate form of treatment, in male patient, leucoderma, 22 years old, with complain of a painless unilateral growth in the left cheek, beginning 2 months before and with progressive growth.

Objetivo: Relatar aexperiência de 19 anos de campanhas de prevenção de câncerde boca e tabagismo. Método: No período de 1989 a 2007 foramrealizadas campanhas de prevenção ao câncer de boca naregião central da cidade de Curitiba / PR - Brasil. Adicionalmenteao exame clínico intra-oral, os pacientes responderam a umquestionário com informações sócio-econômicas e hábitos derisco, como tabagismo e etilismo. Resultados: Foram examinadasum total de 4.405 pessoas. Foram detectadas 687 lesões oraisclassificadas como traumáticas, inflamatórias, leucoplasias,eritroplasias e malignas. Pudemos observar que porcentagem depacientes fumantes diminuiu de 22,5% em 1989 para 16,7% em2007, seguindo a tendência nacional divulgada pelo Ministério daSaúde. Os pacientes foram encaminhados para o Hospital ErastoGaertner para atendimento e conduta. Conclusão: Em 18 anosde campanha de prevenção pudemos diagnosticar precocementelesões potencialmente malignas, bem como orientar a populaçãosobre os fatores de risco em especial o tabaco. As campanhasde prevenção são um importante instrumento de diagnósticoprecoce para melhorar os indices de morbidade e mortalidade docâncer de boca.


Introduction: Oral cancer is the 6º most frequent type of cancerin the world, and one of the main causes is smoking habits.Objective: Report our 18 years experience on oral cancerprevention and tabagism. Method: We examinated people inthe streets of Curitiba / PR-Brazil, between 1989 and 2007, fororal lesions. In addition to the clinical exam, patients filled outa thorough form with social and economic information and alsoharmful habits, such as smoking and alcohol drinking. Results:4.405 people were examinated. We diagnosed 687 oral lesions(traumatic, inflammatory, leukopakia, erythroplakia, malignancysuggestivelesions). Total average of smoking patients was22.5% on 1989 and 16.7% on 2007, following the national trend,as reported by the Ministry of Health. All patients presentingoral lesions were sent to Hospital Erasto Gaertner in Curitiba.Conclusion: During 18 years of prevention campaigns we wereable to early diagnose potencially malignant lesion and to orientgeneral population about risk factors for oral cancer, speciallytobacco.

ABSTRACT

AIM: The intent of this report is to present a brief review of the literature on osteochondroma and to present a case involving the surgical removal and replacement of a major portion of the condyle and angle of the mandible using free autogenous mandibular bone. BACKGROUND: While osteochondroma is the most common tumor of skeletal bones, it is relatively uncommon in the jaws occurring at the condyle or the tip of the coronoid process. This benign cartilage-capped growth is usually discovered incidentally on radiographic examination or on palpation of a protruding mass in the affected area. Malocclusion and progressive facial asymmetry are common findings in most cases of condylar osteochondroma. REPORT: A case of a 29-year-old woman with an osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle is presented. Surgical treatment was tumor resection, grafting, and reshaping of the mandibular angle and ramus. As this lesion is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on radiographic examination, the general practitioner usually is the first professional to make the diagnosis. SUMMARY: Condylectomy cannot be recommended as routine in all cases.37 Common surgical treatments include condylectomy and reconstruction.24 If the tumor involves only a limited area of the condylar surface, then preservation of the remaining portion of the condyle and reshaping should be done. Reasons for not taking such a conservative approach are the possibilities of malignancy and the risk of recurrence. In this case report the extraoral vertical ramus osteotomy, associated with free autogenous mandibular bone, presented several advantages.
