The WHO separates odontogenic carcinomas into three groups : malignant ameloblastoma, primary intraosseous carcinoma(PIOC), and carcinomas arising from odontogenic epithelium including those arising from odontogenic cysts. In WHO criteria, primary intraosseous carcinoma is defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jaw, having no connection with the oral mucosa, and no developing from residues of odontogenic epithelium. This is a case of 52-year old man who had prolonged jaw pain and final diagnosis was primary intraosseous carcinoma(PIOC) on mandible. We obtained successful result after composite resection combined with hemimandibulectomy, RND, following reconstruction with latissmus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and postoperative radiation therapy.

Intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw may arise as metastatic lesions most commonly from breast, lung, kindney and thyroid and also primarily occur from ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. Rarely primary intraosseous carcinoma could be originated from the epithelium involved in odontogenesis. According to WHO's classification, primary intraosseous carcinoma is defined as squamous cell carcinoma, occured in the Jaw without connection to the oral mucosa. However, Elzay defined primary intraosseous carcinoma as malignant epithelial tumor related to the odontogenic apparatus, including carcinoma ex-odontogenic cyst, carcinoma ex-ameloblastoma and carcinoma de novo. We experienced 2 cases of intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw. The first case, a 59-year-old man, showed a ill-defined mass on the left maxilla, measuring $8{\times}10cm$ in size. He received radical hemimaxillectomy and was diagnosed as ameloblastic carcinoma. The second case obtained from a 79-year-old woman showed a ill-defined $6{\times}8cm$ sized mass on the left mandibular body area. The mass was surgically removed by partial mandibulaectomy, which was diagnosed as the primary intraosseous carcinoma, probably odontogenic origin.

Background: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) accounts for 1-10% of cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity, and 75% of VC occur in the oral cavity. Only 3% of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinomas (PIOSCC), which means SCC occurring primarily in the bone, are VC. Verrucous carcinoma arising from odontogenic cysts (OC) is very rare, with only seven cases reported to date. Case presentation: This study reported a case of a patient who underwent partial maxillectomy and neck dissection for VC that occurred in the right anterior maxilla. The patient was admitted to the emergency department at our institution 8 years ago and showed cystic lesions in the anterior maxilla on facial computed tomography (CT) images. Treatment through other departments including assessment of laceration in the mental region and only suture was performed. This report highlights a very rare case of VC in the right anterior maxilla arising from a previous cystic lesion. Conclusions: Since PIOSCC can arise from OC, appropriate treatment of intraosseous cysts and regular radiologic evaluation are necesssary. Surgical exicision of the primary lesion without neck dissection can lead to good prognosis for patients with primary intraosseous verrucous carcinoma.

Meningioma is usually known to occur stuck to the dura mater, but extradural meningioma occurs rarely. Most of the extradural meningiomas are located in the head and neck and we report a case of the primary intraosseous meningioma in the orbit. A 50-year old woman presented with the left eye hyperemia and exophthalmos. Neuroimaging modalities showed hyperostosis at the left sphenoid and orbital wall. On microscopic view, spindle cells and psammoma bodies between the woven bones were observed. The origin of the intraosseous meningioma is explained with various potent possibilities and differential diagnosis thoroughly explored.

Primary intraosseous meningioma is a rare tumor, and atypical pathologic components both osteolytic lesion and dura and soft tissue invasion is extremely rare. A 65-year-old woman presented with a 5-month history of a soft mass on the right frontal area. MR imaging revealed a 4 cm sized, multilobulated, strongly-enhancing lesion on the right frontal bone, and CT showed a destructive skull lesion. The mass was adhered tightly to the scalp and dura mater, and it extended to some part of the outer and inner dural layers without brain invasion. The extradural mass and soft tissue mass were totally removed simultaneously and we reconstructed the calvarial defect with artificial bone material. The pathological study revealed an atypical meningioma as World Health Organization grade II. Six months after the operation, brain MR imaging showed that not found recurrence in both cranial and spinal lesion. Here, we report a case of primary osteolytic intraosseous atypical meningioma with soft tissue and dural invasion.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma(PIOC) is defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jaw, having no initial connection with the oral mucosa. The squamous cell carcinoma within the bone can be presumably developed from residues of the odontogenic epithelium, therefore, it is seen in the jaw only. Metastatic carcinoma from another primary site should be excluded in the diagnosis of Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma. This is a case of 62-year-old man, who initially diagnosed as odontogenic cyst on maxilla, but its pathologic examination was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma with odontogenic cyst. We treated this patient with partial maxillectomy, modified radical neck dissection(mRND), and postoperative radiation therapy.

Intraosseous lipoma is rarely reported in the literature, despite the fact that lipocytes are found as normal components of medullary bone. It is a primary bone tumor that originate from within the medullary cavity. The incidence of intraosseous lipoma has been reported as less than one per thousand bone tumor. The authors experienced a patient who had the findings of bilateral intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus. We report a case of bilateral intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus with brief review of literature.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare odontogenic carcinoma defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arising within a jaw having no initial connection with the oral mucosa, and probably developing from residues of the odontogenic epithelium. PIOC appears more common in male than female, especially at posterior portion of the mandible. Radiographic features of PIOC show irregular patterns of bone destruction with ill defined margins. It could be sometimes misdiagnosed as the cyst or benign tumor because it shows well defined margins. If it couldn't be done appropriate treatment initially, PIOC shows extremely aggressive involvement, extensive local destruction and spreads to the overlying soft tissue. Therefore accurate diagnosis in early state is necessary. The diagnosis criteria proposed for PIOC are : (1) absence of ulcer formation, except when caused by other factors, (2) histologic evidence of squamous cell carcinoma without a cystic component or other odontogenic tumor cell, and (3) absence of another primary tumor on chest radiograph obtained at the time of diagnosis and during a follow-up period of more than 6 month(Suei et al., 1994).

A very uncommon tumor, primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC), is a carcinoma arising within the jaw. The definite diagnosis of PIOC is often difficult as the lesion must be distinguished from alveolar carcinoma that may invade the bone from the overlying soft tissues or from the tumors that have metastasized to the jaw from a distant site. A case of PIOC arising in the mandible is presented. The clinical, radiologic, and histologic features are described. This rare lesion should be considered in any differential diagnosis of a jaw radiolucency.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma generally arises from salivary glands and represents 5~10% of all salivary tumors. Arising within the jaws as primary central bony lesions, central mucoepidermoid carcinomas are extremely rare, accounting for only 2~3% of all mucoepidermoid tumors. Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible was first reported in 1939 and since then approximately 100 cases have been documented in the literature. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of intraosseous salivary tumors. The most likely source of most intraosseous tumors is odontogenic epithelium. Waldron and Mustoe suggested that central mucoepidermoid carcinoma be included in primary intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw. We report here on a case of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma affecting the mandible and discuss the clinical, radiographic, and histological findings.
