Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a disorder transmitted by dominant autosomal inheritance associated to mutations in PTCH1, the main characteristic of which is the appearance of basal cell carcinomas, together with skeletal abnormalities, odontogenic keratocysts and intracranial tumours. CASE REPORT A girl aged 3 years and 10 months, who was admitted due to acute ataxia. Some of the more striking features in the patient's personal history include psychomotor retardation and a family history of suspected GS in the mother as a result of a maxillary cyst. An examination revealed macrocephaly with a prominent forehead and hypertelorism, as well as nevus. A genetic study for GS was requested, in which mutation c.930delC was detected in exon 6 of the PTCH1 gene in heterozygosis. CONCLUSIONS In GS there is an increase in the likelihood of developing basal cell carcinomas and strict dermatological monitoring is necessary. A clinical neurological follow-up and also magnetic resonance imaging scans are needed for an early diagnosis of intracranial tumours, especially in the case of medulloblastomas. Odontogenic keratocysts, other skin disorders, and cardiac and ovarian fibromas are characteristic, as are skeletal abnormalities, which require regular clinical and neuroimaging controls and treatment if needed, but radiation must be avoided. GS is a rare disorder, but it must be suspected in the presence of characteristic alterations. It requires a multidisciplinary follow-up, and it is also necessary to establish a protocol on how to act so as to allow early diagnosis and treatment of the potentially severe complications deriving from this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder which is characterized by the presence of multiple basal cell carcinomas, maxillary keratocysts, and musculoskeletal anomalies. CASE REPORT We present a case of a patient suffering from Gorlin-Goltz syndrome who developed an intraosseous basal cell carcinoma associated with a recurrent maxillary keratocyst. To our knowledge, this is the first case of malignant transformation of a keratocyst into a basal cell carcinoma described in the literature. CONCLUSION This case highlights the importance of careful histologic examination of keratocysts excised in patients suffering from Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although skin has been the most effective graft material for reconstructing the airway lumen, the use of squamous epithelium has many problems. If autologous airway squamous epithelium could differentiate into mucociliary epithelium after in vivo grafting, it could be an answer to these problems. In this study, we wanted to examine whether carrier-free nasal epithelial cell sheets composed of autologous squamous epithelium could be used as a substitute for skin in airway luminal reconstruction in three maxillectomy patients. STUDY DESIGN In vitro biochemical experiments with in vivo applications. METHODS We cultured nasal squamous epithelium from three maxillary cancer patients prior to maxillectomy. These squamous cell sheets were grafted on the forearm free flap, and, after maxillectomy, the surgical defect was reconstructed with a prefabricated myocutaneous radial forearm free flap with the cultured nasal squamous epithelium. At 1 and 3 month intervals after the reconstructive surgery, the cultured cell grafted area was investigated with histologic phenotype, comparing the skin grafted area. RESULTS The autologous nasal squamous epithelial cell sheet differentiated into mucociliary epithelium without the crust or mucus stagnation that is usually observed in cases in which skin graft is used for airway reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that autologous cultured nasal squamous epithelium, which differentiates into mucociliary epithelium after in vivo grafting, can be used as a clinically relevant substitute for skin graft in airway luminal reconstruction.

Abstract
HISTORY A 29-year-old man presented with a giant cell granuloma of the maxilla that had initially been diagnosed as a "brown tumor" (a bone replacing mass of fibrous tissue containing hemosiderin-pigmented macrophages and multinucleated giant cells). Because serum calcium and PTH were elevated, primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. Three months later a parathyroid carcinoma and a brown tumour in the left femur were identified and removed surgically. Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome was suspected. INVESTIGATIONS AND DIAGNOSIS Mutation analysis of the DNA revealed heterozygous nonsense mutation R234X in exon 7 of the HRPT2 gene, a tumor suppressor gene responsible for the HPT-JT syndrome. Subsequent studies indicated that the patient had inherited the HRPT2 mutation from his father who was now 68 years old. He showed no symptoms of the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome; serum calcium and PTH were normal. The R234X mutation was also found in the patient}s sister. She had been diagnosed for primary hyperparathyroidism at the age of 32 years. Serum calcium and PTH levels were within the normal range after subtotal parathyroidectomy. FURTHER COURSE: Follow up over 3 years showed no clinical, morphological or biochemical relapse of primary hyperparathyroidism. CONCLUSION The identification of the R234X mutation is not only important for the patient himself, but also for other family members who could benefit from being identified as mutation carriers. This information can be used for the early detection and removal of malignant parathyroid tumours.

Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour (HPT-JT) syndrome is characterized by parathyroid tumours as well as by ossifying fibromas of the mandible and maxilla, renal cysts, or Wilms' tumours. Recently, the gene responsible for HPT-JT syndrome has been identified as the HRPT2 tumour suppressor gene. In an 18-year-old male, a tumour in the maxilla was first diagnosed as an ossifying fibroma. During biochemical screening before surgery, the patient received a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. Neck computed tomography scanning showed a parathyroid tumour. Surgical excisions to remove the jaw tumour and parathyroid adenoma were performed. The postoperative course has been uneventful and a follow up at 2 years revealed no evidence of recurrence. The HRPT2 germline mutation of 39delC was detected in the proband, but not in his unaffected parents. These results suggested that the germline mutation occurred de novo.

Abstract
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms for the enhancement of heat-induced apoptosis on exposure to acidic conditions, human maxillary carcinoma IMC-3 cells were heat-shocked at 44 degrees C for 30 min at either pH 7.4 or 6.7. Analyses with cDNA arrays, the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Western blotting were performed. We found that histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) was specifically induced after hyperthermia at 44 degrees C for 30 min at pH 6.7. Although the cytotoxicity of heating at 44 degrees C for 30 min was enhanced by decreasing the pH from 7.4 to 6.7, it was enhanced even more by antisense RNA oligonucleotides for HDAC3. The induction of G2/M arrest after heating occurred earlier at pH 6.7 than at pH 7.4. The inhibition of HDAC3 by the antisense RNA oligonucleotides suppressed partially the induction of G2/M arrest, resulting in an enhancement of the apoptosis caused by the heating under acidic conditions. Antisense RNA oligonucleotides for HDAC3 enhanced apoptosis 48 h after hyperthermia at 43 degrees C for 30 min in vivo. Analyses of p65 activity suggested that NF-kappaB is involved in this enhancement of hyperthermia. HDAC3 may be a novel target enhancing hyperthermia and combined treatment with hyperthermia and HDAC inhibitors is a possible modality for cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the expression of a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 8 and 12 gene in the giant cell lesions of jaw and to study their effects on the histogenesis of cells in these lesions. METHODS ADAM8 and ADAM12 was detected by immunohistochemistry (SP) in 40 paraffin-embedded specimens of central giant cell lesions of jaw, 10 peripheral giant cell lesions, 9 cherubisms, 6 aneurysmal bone cysts. RESULTS ADAM8 and ADAM12 were positive in the cytomembrane and cytoplasm of all multinucleated giant cells and some round mononuclear cells of the lesions; ADAM12 was positive for some spindle mononuclear stromal cells in central and peripheral giant cell lesions. CONCLUSIONS Multinucleated giant cells probably originated from the fusion of the round mononuclear cells, and ADAM8 and ADAM12 were involved in this process. In addition, ADAM12 might play a role in the maturation of spindle mononuclear stromal cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify distinct gene expression profiles of human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCAs) using complementary DNA (cDNA) microarray analysis and to create a preliminary, comprehensive database of HNSCCA gene expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients with histologically confirmed HNSCCAs, staged according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer, were enrolled. The HNSCCA tumor tissue and normal mucosal tissue were harvested at the time of surgery. A cDNA library was constructed from the paired fresh-frozen human surgical specimens of HNSCCAs and nonmalignant epithelial tissues. Biotinylated RNA was transcribed from the cDNA library and hybridized to high-density microarrays containing approximately 12 000 human genes. Altered gene expression of HNSCCAs was identified by comparison to corresponding normal mucosal tissues after a bayesian statistical analysis of variance. Results were analyzed using the gene database of the National Institutes of Health. Hierarchical clustering of the genomic data sets was determined by similarity metrics based on Pearson correlation. RESULTS Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that the gene expression profiles obtained from the nonselected panel of 12 000 genes could distinguish the tumors from nonmalignant tissues. Gene expression changes were reproducibly observed in 227 genes representing previously identified chemokines, tumor suppressors, differentiation markers, matrix molecules, membrane receptors, and transcription factors that correlated with neoplasia, including 46 previously uncharacterized genes. Moreover, significant expression of the collagen type XI alpha1 gene and a novel gene was reproducibly observed in all 9 tumors, whereas these genes were virtually undetectable in their corresponding, adjacent nonmalignant tissues. CONCLUSIONS Complementary DNA microarray analysis of human HNSCCAs has produced a preliminary, comprehensive database of tumor-specific gene expression profiles and provided important insights into modeling gene expression changes implicated in carcinogenesis. A large-scale analysis of gene expression carries the future potential of identifying sensitive molecular markers for early tumor detection, prognosis, and novel targets for interceptive therapeutics.

Abstract
Amongst hyperparathyroidism-related syndromes, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome is one of the least common and relatively unknown but its clinical and genetic aspects are not less interesting or important. With the recent identification of its genes, we can now better characterize the disease, both clinically and genetically, which will certainly impact the field of endocrinology and oncology. In this article, we review the clinico-pathological features and genetic basis of this syndrome with the hope that it will create awareness and interest in this disease amongst clinicians and basic scientists.

Abstract
In the head and neck region, clear cell tumors are usually derived from salivary glands, odontogenic tissues, and metastasis. The World Health Organization has classified clear cell odontogenic tumor among benign tumors, but it is now recognized as a more sinister lesion, and current opinion is that it should be designated as a carcinoma. It is characterized by aggressive growth, recurrences, and metastasis. By using complementary DNA microarrays, several genes in clear cell odontogenic tumor were identified that are differentially regulated when compared with non-tumor tissue. In conclusion, the first genetic profiling of clear odontogenic carcinoma is reported. DNA microarrays can potentially help in identifying some genes whose products could be disease-specific targets for cancer therapy as well as a tool for better classifying odontogenic tumor.

Abstract
Odontogenic tumours are rare neoplasms whose classification is sometime controversial. Among these entities, granular cell odontogenic tumour (GCOT) is extremely rare and usually has a benign clinical behaviour. While the histogenesis of GCOT remains to be clarified, we documented the existence of a malignant counterpart of this neoplasm and proposed the name of malignant GCOT. Expression profiling by cDNA microarrays is a molecular technology that enables a global gene expression analysis. By using cDNA microarrays, we identified in malignant GCOT several genes with significantly differentially regulated genes when compared to non neoplastic tissues. These cancer specific genes include a range of functional activities: (1) transcription, (2) signaling transduction, (3) cell-cycle regulation, (4) apoptosis, (5) differentiation and (6) angiogenesis. In conclusion, we show that cDNA microarrays is a useful approach to investigate the biology of tumours. Moreover, this technology might lead to identification of gene targets for cancer therapy and to molecular classification of odontogenic tumours.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the results of flowcytometry analyses of different clinical stage, location, pathologic grade and cell origin of oral and maxillofacial non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and the diagnostic value of flowcytometry analysis in lymphoma. METHOD This study analyzed 50 oral and maxillofacial NHL cases and 10 reactive lymph nodes (formalin fixed and paraffin embedded) by flowcytometry (FCM). RESULTS Reactive lymph nodes were all diploid. The diploid rate of NHL was 54%, and aneuploidy rate was 46%. There was statistically significant difference between reactive lymph nodes and NHL in the DNA ploidy status and cell cycle data (SPF, CV, S + G2/M, DI). The S phase fraction (SPF) and S + G2/M had close relationship with the grade of NHL. SPF value and DNA ploidy status had no obvious relationship with the prognosis. CONCLUSION The results suggested that the FCM had diagnostic value in NHL, especially when the morphological diagnosis was difficult. Although the cell cycle data had no prognostic value, SPF and SPF + G2/M can show the proliferative status of NHL, which can help clinical doctor select therapeutic method.

Abstract
We undertook the genetic analysis of a classic Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) family with clustering of primary tumours including two maxillary sarcomas, a rare LFS site of tumour occurrence. Our aim was to investigate the presence of a specific type of TP53 mutation that could be associated with this unusual predilection of site for cancer occurrence. Mutational screening of the coding region of TP53 revealed an A>T transversion in codon 144 of exon 5 (CAG>CTG, Gln>Leu) in the germline of one of the three affected members, with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the tumour tissue. All other affected members were negative for germline or somatic TP53 mutations. TP53 immunohistochemistry was uninformative. The mutation we report is a de novo constitutional TP53 mutation that has not been previously described in the literature. It could explain the more burdened phenotype of the affected patient (died at 21 months). Alternative mechanisms to explain the overall family phenotype are discussed.

Abstract
The prognosis for maxillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains poor, despite advances in combination therapy. Combined treatment with anticancer drugs and radiation therapy is aimed at inducing apoptosis. As apoptosis is regulated by several proteins, we investigated the expression of p53, Bax and Bcl-2 in maxillary SCC before treatment and after preoperative chemoradiotherapy using an immunohistochemical approach. Furthermore, apoptotic cells were visualized using an in situ apoptosis detection kit and the apoptosis index (AI) was defined as the number of positive cancer cells per 1,000 cancer cells. Expression of p53 and Bcl-2 and the Al in 23 maxillary SCCs were not associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, frequency of recurrence or 5-year survival rate either before treatment or after preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Bax expression before treatment was not correlated with any clinicopathological factors before treatment. However, no patients in the Bax-positive group (11/22 cases) after preoperative chemoradiotherapy had recurrence of maxillary SCC and all were alive after 5 years, while the 5-year survival rate was 34.1% in Bax-negative patients. These results suggest that the appearance of the Bax protein after preoperative chemoradiotherapy is a significant prognostic marker for maxillary SCC.

Abstract
p16(INK4A) inactivation was analyzed in ten squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell lines and 32 primary SCCs, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism, methylation-specific PCR, and cycle sequencing. In the study of cell lines, we detected three deletions in exon 1alpha and exon 2, and detected two methylations. Among tumor samples, we detected the homozygous deletions (HDs) of 43.8% in exon 1alpha 34.4% in exon 2, and methylation was found in 50.0%. The lack of p16(INK4A) with immunohistochemistry was detected in 71.9% and matched the alteration of p16(INK4A) gene. These results suggest that p16(INK4A) inactivation is predominantly caused by HD and methylation, and immunohistochemical evaluation of p16(INK4A) is a useful method.

RESULTS CDK4, p27, and E2F-1 were positive in 60% (12 of 20), 25% (5 of 20), and 65% (13 of 20), respectively, in chondrosarcoma of the jaws. There was no significant difference in the expression of CDK4, P27, and E2F-1 among histological grade of the chondrosarcoma (P > 0.05). In osteochondroma of the jaws, CDK4 and E2F-1 showed an equal positivity of 12.5% (1 of 8), whereas p27 was positive in 87.5% (7 of 8). The positive rate of CDK4, p27, and E2F-1 was significant between chondrosarcoma and osteochondroma of the jaws (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These data show that cell cycle regulatory proteins are altered in chondrosarcoma of the jaws. CDK4 and E2F-1 are over-expressed and p27 is under-expressed in chondrosarcoma of the jaws.

Abstract
An odontogenic myxoma of the maxilla with an aggressive clinical course is presented. The tumour arose in a 53-year-old patient, recurred two times after extended maxillectomy and ultimately caused the patient's death by uncontrollable local disease with infiltration of the cranial cavity. Microscopically, the tumour showed histological features of a low grade malignant myxosarcoma with cellular areas, enhanced mitotic activity and nuclear pleomorphism. Cytogenetic analysis revealed an unexpectedly aberrant hypertetraploid chromosome complement, that was considered as incompatible with the usual karyotypic patterns of benign tumours.

Abstract
The authors describe the clinical symptoms in three subjects belonging to the same family affected by basal cell nevus syndrome. They emphasise that the typical triad of the syndrome (basal-cell nevus, maxillary keratocysts and skeletal anomalies) was present in the subjects examined. The skeletal anomalies were very evident in the eldest daughter, negligible in the younger daughter and absent in the mother. Only two cysts closely related to erupting teeth were removed in the younger daughter between 1992 and 1999, whereas the basal-cell nevi were clearly prevalent compared to other pathological manifestations. Moreover, the authors observe that the cysts increased in volume much more rapidly in the daughters than in the mother: having identified the histological components of the cysts, this phenomenon might be linked to the age of the subjects examined.

Abstract
The triple combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), vitamin A and radiation (FAR therapy) has been used since 1972 to treat malignant tumors of the head and neck at Kyushu University. Using nick end labeling of tumor specimens, cells of human maxillary sinus carcinomas were observed previously to undergo apoptosis in response to FAR therapy. The present study evaluated the in vitro effects of FAR therapy on a human maxillary sinus cancer (IMC-4) cell line. We further compared the effects of FAR therapy on this cell line with those effects seen on tissue samples taken from patients with maxillary sinus cancers. DNA electrophoresis and electron microscopic examination of the IMC-4 cells after treatment with FAR therapy revealed typical apoptotic features. The effects of 50-100 micrograms/ml 5-FU, 10(-4) M all-trans-retinoic acid and radiation to 6 Gy on IMC-4 cells were evaluated by trypan blue dye exclusion and a cell colony formation assay. 5-FU and radiation caused direct cell death, while vitamin A mainly inhibited cell growth. The combination of these treatment as FAR therapy synergistically enhanced cell death and inhibited cell growth. Flow cytometry demonstrated that FAR-treated cells were arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle before undergoing apoptosis. To further investigate possible biological parameters influencing a tumor's apoptotic sensitivity, we also examined the expression of p53 in human maxillary sinus cancer cells and analyzed the relationship between p53 expression and apoptosis. However, no relationship was found between these two markers at the time point studied.

Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of multiple parathyroid adenomas and multiple fibro-osseous tumors of the maxilla and mandible. Some families have had affected members with involvement of the kidneys, variously reported as Wilms tumors, nephroblastomas, and hamartomas. The HPT-JT gene (HRPT2) maps to chromosome 1q25-q31. We describe further investigation of two HPT-JT families (K3304 and K3349) identified through the literature. These two expanded families and two previously reported families were investigated jointly for linkage with 21 new, closely linked markers. Multipoint linkage analysis resulted in a maximum LOD score of 7.83 (at recombination fraction 0) for markers D1S2848-D1S191. Recombination events in these families reduced the HRPT2 region to approximately 14.7 cM. In addition, two of these four study families (i.e., K3304 and K11687) share a 2.2-cM length of their (expanded) affected haplotype, indicating a possible common origin. Combining the linkage data and shared-haplotype data, we propose a 0.7-cM candidate region for HRPT2.

Abstract
A case of multiple macrodonts with a complex odontoma in a mother and son is reported. This condition is thought to represent a variant of the Ekman-Westborg-Julin syndrome. The authors discuss the relationship between macrodontia and odontoma, and the involvement of hereditary factors is suggested.

Abstract
Abnormalities in the Retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (Rb) have been observed in a large number of human cancers. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a common mode of allelic inactivation of Rb and other tumor suppressor genes. We investigated DNA from 45 primary human head and neck cancers to determine LOH at the Rb locus using a polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. Of informative cases, we found LOH in 4 of 28 (14%) head and neck cancers. Of immunohistochemical staining of Rb protein, we found that in one of ten LOH negative cases the nuclei of fibroblasts were stained with anti-Rb antibody but there was no nuclear staining tumor cells. These results suggest that inactivation of Rb protein is involved in the carcinogenesis of head and neck cancer at all levels of the process of protein expression: DNA, mRNA and protein.

Abstract
As children with cancer survive longer, the incidence of second malignant neoplasms has increased considerably. We describe here three cases of second solid tumors after 12, 8 and 2 years of initial diagnosis of cancer: one osteosarcoma of left maxilla in a previously treated child with bilateral retinoblastoma, a temporal astrocytoma associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a glioblastoma multiforme in a girl with neurofibromatosis de Von Recklinghausen, after Non Hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. We review the literature about the influence of genetic, immunologic and therapeutic factors involved in the appearance of these second tumors.

Abstract
A Caucasian family is presented in which two out of three children showed lesions resembling gigantiform cementoma clinically, radiologically and histopathologically. Both affected children had swellings of the alveolar crest, caused by large, lobular, radio-opaque masses in all four quadrants of the jaws. Histologically, cementum-like masses were surrounded by inflamed fibrous connective tissue. There was evidence indicating that the late father had similar lesions which became malignant following radiation therapy.

Abstract
Very few cases of gigantiform cementoma have been reported, and those associated with a positive family history are especially rare. Confusion exists about the relationship of gigantiform cementoma to florid osseous dysplasia, cementifying fibroma, and diffuse chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis. It has been unclear whether gigantiform cementoma should be accorded the status of a separate entity. In this article, we report our findings on a family that, over five generations, has exhibited clinical, radiographic, and/or histologic findings consistent with the designation familial gigantiform cementoma. This pedigree consists of 55 members. Significant heterogeneity in expression of this trait was noted. The pattern of occurrence of the trait is consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with variable expressivity of the phenotype. We suggest that familial gigantiform cementoma should be recognized as a separate entity.

Abstract
Three cases of multicentric squamous odontogenic tumor, one of which was previously reported, are presented in three black siblings. A review of the literature indicates that 5 of the 26 previously recorded cases arose in multiple sites, but no evidence of familial history has been suggested. Although squamous odontogenic tumor has been described as a relatively rare, benign odontogenic neoplasm, the multicentric familial nature of our present cases suggests this represents either a reactive hyperplasia or hamartoma of residual odontogenic epithelium within the periodontal tissues. Management of previous cases has varied from simple curettage to maxillectomy with only one case of recurrence.

Abstract
Two distinct karyotypically abnormal cell lines were observed in cultures of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor. One involved multiple chromosome rearrangements, and the other an inversion of chromosome #7 and a t(3;10) showing an interstitial deletion of 3p; del(3)(p1?4p1?2). None of these rearrangements have been reported in previous descriptions of primitive neuroectodermal tumor karyotypes.

Abstract
The authors report the occurrence of multiple odontogenic tumors in a father, his two sons, and his daughter. These occurred soon after birth and recurred upon occasion, with imcomplete removal. Associated with the multiple odontomas is esophageal stenosis. The occurrence of hepatopathy of unknown origin and an increased susceptibility to infection appear to be other components in this syndrome. A similar case reported in the literature has been cited. Autosomal dominant inheritance is suggested.
