Article Synopsis
- - The article examines a rare case of ameloblastoma found in a 74-year-old man, impacting the right maxilla, maxillary sinus, and nasal cavity, initially misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma.
- - A biopsy revealed uncertain origins for the tumor's multiple histologic patterns, leading to a confirmed diagnosis after surgical resection, highlighting challenges in clinical classification based on WHO's 2022 guidelines.
- - The literature review of 45 similar cases showed that maxillary ameloblastoma often invades crucial structures, with common extensions to the nasal cavity and orbit, and emphasizes the difficulty in differentiating between primary sinonasal and gnathic origins.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine demographic profiles, tumour characteristics and treatment factors related to oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer (OCC and OPC) and comparatively analyze these cancers in the adult population of Alberta, Canada, over 12 years.
Methods: Demographic, tumour characteristics and treatment data regarding OCC and OPC incidence in Alberta residents ≥18 years in 2005-2017 were extracted from the Alberta Cancer Registry database. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates (ASIR and ASMR) were computed.
