OBJECTIVES: To present 8 new cases of primary @entity189 of the jaws and to review the literature for an analysis of treatment modalities and @entity1 outcomes. DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search from 1970 to 1999. The articles chosen and the study of the references of every one that produced additional articles provided database information for 28 @entity1 . Eight new @entity1 from our institutions were added. STUDY SELECTION: Our criteria of inclusion included the absence of @entity9645 , a negative result in the search for a distant @entity5 , and convincing histological documentation. DATA EXTRACTION: The variables of the analysis included age, sex, site of the @entity5 , condition of the oral mucosa, @entity5 size, neck status, treatment modalities, recurrences, and survival. DATA SYNTHESIS: Twenty-eight @entity1 were identified in the literature, for a total of 36 @entity1 . There were 28 males (78%) and 8 females (22%) ranging in age from 4 to 76 years (mean, 54 years). The @entity5 site was the mandible in 33 @entity1 (92%) and the maxilla in 3 (8%). Of the 34 @entity1 treated, 19 (56%) had recurrences. Overall 2- and 4-year survival was 60.5% and 39.9%, respectively. @entity1 who underwent radical surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (n = 11) had a 2- and 3-year survival probability of 61.3% and 40.9%, respectively, whereas in the remaining @entity1 (n = 25), the rates were 59.7% and 31.3%, respectively (P =.60). CONCLUSIONS: Strict diagnostic criteria must be applied. The prognosis associated with primary @entity189 of the jaws is poor and suggests the need for aggressive treatment.
