頭部惡性腫瘤併發顳頷關節功能障礙：兩病例報告

Abstract

The temporomandibular joint dysfunction/disorder(TMD) is a complexity of facial occulsional abnormality, manifested as symptoms of trismus, opening noisy, limitation of range of motion, painful swelling around periarticular area, and local spasm or tenderness over masticatory musculacture. The TMD is now regarded as being multifactorial in its aetiology. The tumor invasion is a rare cause and is often neglected. Two cases of malignant neoplasm of head complicating with TMD which masking the original lesion are reported. The one is cancer of maxillary sinus and the other nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The two cases could not be detected earlier, ensuing with bony metastasis after diagnosis, therefore, no further management for the diseased episode emerged except radio - and chemotherapy. In conclusion, we emphasize that the possibility of malignant neoplasm should be kept in mind when facing the worsen condition of the disorder despite pertinent therapy progressively.
