Abstract
An unusual case is presented of a patient with planocellular carcinoma of the mandible which developed through transformation of the epithelium of an odontogenic cyst. The transformation of the epithelium of the cyst into a planocellular carcinoma was histologically verified. Apart from a swelling on the chin there were no other signs of disease in the clinical status. After histological verification of the tumour a wide excision of the skin of the chin and part of the lip was performed, segmental resection of the mandible and selective dissection of both sides of the neck. The skin defect was reconstructed by local rotating flaps and the mandible by a microvascular flap from the fibula.
