Primary intraosseous carcinoma of the mandible.
The case of a 58-year-old man with a large primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) of the mandible is presented. The tumour is rare, and the prognosis is usually poor. There are no specific histological characteristics of PIOC. Staining for basement membrane laminin could be a valuable aid in the differential diagnosis between PIOC and tumours of ameloblastoma origin.
