On August 20th, news from Military Hospital 87 said that it had just received and treated a patient with a solid, large, bone-destructing and facial deformation tumor in the lower right jaw.
The patient underwent surgery to partially remove the lower jawbone, remove the tumor and place a reinforcing splint, then recovered stably and was discharged from the hospital.
According to Military Hospital 87, the patient was admitted to the hospital in a state of pain in the lower jaw area, swelling, limited movement, accompanied by signs of bone structure damage.
Through examination and performing paraclinical tests, the patient was diagnosed with a solid, large right maxillary angle bone endodenom. The tumor destroyed the mandibular bone below the maxillary angle, causing facial deformity.
Faced with the above situation, the patient was indicated for surgery to remove the lower jaw bone, remove the tumor and place a reinforcing splint.
This is a technique that requires accuracy and meticulousness because the maxillofacial region concentrates many important blood vessels and nerves. The full removal of pathological tissue is to limit the risk of recurrence, a noteworthy characteristic of melanoma.
Doctors of the Department of Odonto-Stomatology performed surgery as prescribed. After surgery, the patient was closely monitored and cared for post-operatively, combined with treatment with pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and instructions on surgical care.
After the treatment process, the patient's condition stabilized, progressed well and was discharged from the hospital.
According to Military Hospital 87, the case shows the necessity of accurate diagnosis, choosing appropriate treatment methods and close post-operative monitoring for maxillofacial tumor diseases.
In this case, the tumor was large and had destroyed the jawbone below the angle of the jaw, causing facial deformity.
Therefore, the patient was indicated to have a partial mastectomy of the lower jaw of the tumor and place a reinforcing splint.
The treatment process not only requires full treatment of pathological tissue but also close monitoring of patients after surgery.
Post-operative care, drug use as prescribed and surgical care instructions are performed to help patients stabilize and gradually restore function in the maxillofacial region.
