Oral squamous cell carcinoma often invades the mandible. However, the incidence of pathological fractures of the maxillofacial bones is low and their treatment is rarely satisfactory. A patient, too weak to undergo surgery, affected by squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular region with bone involvement and pathological fracture of the mandible, underwent chemotherapy with carboplatin associated with diphosphonate.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma often invades the mandible. However, the incidence of pathological fractures of the maxillofacial bones is low and their treatment is rarely satisfactory. A patient, too weak to undergo surgery, affected by squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular region with bone involvement and pathological fracture of the mandible, underwent chemotherapy with carboplatin associated with diphosphonate.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
