Our patient initially presented with 6 months of left jaw pain and gingival bleeding, leading to the discovery of a radiolucent left maxillary mass on dental evaluation. A biopsy confirmed clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, and the patient was treated with definitive surgery and radiation for localised disease. Unfortunately, the patient was found to have pulmonary metastases 3 months after initial management and was subsequently treated with a combination of cytotoxic chemotherapy and immunotherapy with a partial response. To our knowledge, this is the first case demonstrating the successful use of chemoimmunotherapy in metastatic clear cell odontogenic carcinoma.
我们的患者最初表现为 6 个月的左下颌疼痛和牙龈出血,在牙科评估时发现左侧上颌骨放射性透明肿块。活检证实为透明细胞牙源性癌,患者接受了局部疾病的根治性手术和放疗。不幸的是,患者在初始治疗后 3 个月发现肺部转移,随后接受了细胞毒性化疗和免疫治疗联合治疗,部分缓解。据我们所知,这是首例成功应用化疗免疫治疗转移性透明细胞牙源性癌的病例。
