A 51-year-old female noted the tumor, arising from the 167 region of alveolar ridge around November 1982.
The tumor gradually increased in size, and the patient was referred to our department in November 1983. Two epulises bad elastic hard, smooth, surfaces.
In the orall cavity, two large tumors, pyorrhoer alveolaire, dental calculus were found.
Radiographic examination revealed a horizontally absorption over the alveolus dentalis. Tomographic examination revealed lower radiolucency in the left maxillary sinus than in the right.
Under local anethsethia, these epulises were extirpated and extracted3/2-8 8543/8.
Pathologically, the surface of the epulis is covered by squamous epithelium with frequent and irregular elongation of rete ridges. Subepithelial tissue is loosely or densely fibrous and rich in vasculatures.
Postoperative, inflammation in the maxillary sinus disappeared.
