The occurrence of complex odontomas is not considered to be rare in the jaws. But the occurence of large odontomas obscuring the maxillary sinus, or erupting into the oral cavity are considered to be rare. The prognosis is good with surgical excision and recurrence is nil. Most of the times the surgical site can be closed primarily, but sometimes requires local flaps to achieve tension free closure. Here, we report such a case treated by surgical excision trans orally followed soft tissue defect reconstruction with pedicled palatal island flap.
复杂牙瘤在颌骨中并不被认为罕见。但大型牙瘤累及上颌窦或突入口腔的情况则被认为较为罕见。手术切除后预后良好,无复发。大多数情况下手术部位可一期缝合,但有时需要局部皮瓣以实现无张力缝合。在此,我们报告一例经口手术切除并采用带蒂腭岛瓣修复软组织缺损的病例。
