来自伯明翰儿童医院牙科专科部。本文报告一罕见的7岁女性口腔癌的病例。她表现为上颌前牙从牙龈处长出肿大肿块。我们进行了前上颌切除术并立即置换假体并封闭了残留的缺损。鉴于该疾病的罕见性质，病因不明，患者年龄小以及手术的致残性影响，该病例的管理具有挑战性。治疗涉及一个大型多学科团队。由于患者依从性差以及在成长中的儿童中进行手术的程度，提供闭孔尤其困难。口腔癌在15岁以下的儿童是极其罕见的，这是文献中报道的最小的口腔癌病例。
From the Department of Dental Specialties, Birmingham Children's Hospital. This case study describes a rare case of oral carcinoma cuniculatum in a 7 year old female. She presented with an enlarged mass of the anterior maxilla arising from the gingiva. An anterior maxillectomy with immediate prosthetic replacement and obturation of the residual defect were carried out. The management of this case was challenging given the rare nature of the disease, unclear etiology, the patient's young age and the mutilating effects of surgery. The treatment involved a large multidisciplinary team. The provision of obturators was particularly difficult due to poor patient compliance and the extent of surgery carried out in a growing child. Oral cancer in children under 15 years old is extremely rare and this is the youngest case of oral carcinoma cuniculatum reported in the literature.
