Maxilla Osteonecrosis: A Differential Diagnosis in Patients with Metastatic Cancer on Bisphosphonates

Abstract: Bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis (BON) of the mandible and/or maxilla is an increasingly recognized, though still rare, complication of bisphosphonate therapy. In the present case, the patient presented with a seven-month history of maxillary sinusitis and pain, and was originally diagnosed with a bony metastasis from her primary breast cancer. However, surgical excision and biopsy led to a diagnosis of BON of the maxilla. As bisphosphonates are often prescribed for patients with metastatic disease, it is … Show more

“…Given high suspicion and repeatedly negative biopsies, or region of difficult access such as TMJ, positron emission topographies could help to discern in favour of metastasis, as long as osteonecrosis is not in the active infection phase ( Figure 5). In addition, the evolution and non-response to osteonecrosis treatment protocols will define the situation 24,25 . Management of head & neck metastatic tumours should be multidisciplinary and individualized to each patient.…”

“…Recently, bisphosphonate treatment has been reported to have serious adverse effects on bone structure, resulting in osteonecrosis, particularly of the jaw [6]. However, maxillary osteonecrosis remains a rare type, accounting for 25% of the reported cases of osteonecrosis induced by bisphosphonate [7].…”

“…Dentro do processo fisiológico, em razão dos bifosfonatos se aderirem na hidroxiapatita da matriz óssea na cavidade oral em regiões que acontecem o processo de remodelação óssea ocorre uma indução das células osteoclásticas a sofrerem uma morte celular programada a apoptose celular (SMITH JD et al, 2016). Segundo o estudo, a mandíbula é mais susceptível a osteonecrose em virtude de apresentarem índices de vascularização diferentes em relação à maxila, consequentemente favorecendo assim seu surgimento e proliferação (HENIEN M, et al, 2016).…”
