Symptoms of mandibular malignant tumor?

It usually occurs in the mandible, especially in the mandibular molar area. There is a solid mass at the site of the disease, which grows rapidly. There is no ping-pong feeling in palpation, and there may be tenderness. Can have toothache, local pain, invasion of the inferior alveolar nerve can appear lower lip numbness.

The invasion of alveolar process may lead to tooth loosening, shedding, tumor protruding from alveolar fossa, and mouth opening limitation when invading adjacent masticatory muscles. Regional lymph node metastasis may occur.

Radical operation is the only way to treat osteosarcoma of the jaw. Part of the maxilla or mandible in the affected area should be amputated. If there is lymph node metastasis, ipsilateral neck lymph node dissection should also be performed. The treatment principle is the same as that of osteosarcoma of the jaw.

matters needing attention

After operation, we should insist on nasal feeding diet and oral cleaning nursing. If there is a leak between the oral cavity and the bone graft substitute, the submandibular drainage should be carried out in time, and the sinus should be flushed to avoid the spread of infection. If it can be maintained for more than half a year, because of the scar formation, even if the bone graft substitute is removed, there will be no tongue drop and dyspnea.
