Carcinoma of Mouth

Carcinoma of Mouth

Summarize

More than 90 percent of tumors and tumor-like lesions in the mouth are benign. Oral cancer is extremely rare in children and adolescents.

Epidemiological

 histology

        Benign odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity include odontoma and ameloblastoma. The most common non-odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity are fibroma, hemangioma and papilloma. Oral tumor-like lesions include lymphangiolemmoma, granuloma and Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

        Malignant tumor types include lymphoma (especially Burkitt's) and sarcoma (including rhabdomyosarcoma and fibrosarcoma). Oral mucosal epidermoid carcinoma is rarely reported in pediatric and adolescent age groups, most of which are low or intermediate grade, and the cure rate with surgery alone is high.

        The most common type of primary oral cancer in adults is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which is extremely rare in children. However, children with this condition generally have a higher survival rate than adults. Children with oral squamous cell carcinoma are typically girls. Conditions associated with the development of oral and/or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma include Fanconi anemia, congenital dyskeratosis, connective tissue mutations, chronic graft-versus-host disease, epidermolysis bullosa, xeroderma pigmentosum, and human papillomavirus infection.

Clinical Management

Treatment of oral cancer in children

        The treatment of benign oral tumors is through surgery.

        The treatment of oral malignancies in children depends on histological results and may include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Clinical reports of cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma show that surgical treatment alone is generally well effective and rarely recurrent.
