A retrospective study was made on Filipino patients having Ameloblastoma. The clinical records showed a total of 177 patients diagnosed and treated with Ameloblastoma from the six Metro Manila Hospitals. Ages of patients ranged from less than 9 years old to over 60 years old. The data showed that Ameloblastoma occurred frequently among patients during the second decade of life in both sexes. The right side of the mandible at the molar ramus area is the most frequent site of occurrence to both sexes. In majority of the cases the patients sought consultation when the tumor was quite extensive. Most of the cases were treated by mandibular resection or hemimandibulectomy.

A nine-month clinical and radiographic survey was done on 337 impacted mandibular third molar hospital cases to determine the incidence of caries, alveolar bone loss, and adjacent tooth material loss and the relation of the angulation of the third molar. Sixty percent of the cases was affected by any one of the three pathologic changes; however, individually each lesion registered rates at 42% or lower. The mesioangular orientation registered the highest incidence rates among the four and contributed the most lesions when compared to the four. The majority of mesioangular cases had all three lesions. Thus the presence of the impacted mesioangular third molar should heighten the advocacy for its removal.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most common sarcomas of soft tissues in late adult life. However, this neoplasm rarely arises in the oral and maxillofacial region with the maxilla presenting as an unusual site. A case report of a 40-year old woman with malignant fibrous histiocytoma involving the maxilla is discussed with relevant literature reviewed. The treatment chosen was partial maxillectomy. The patient was referred for cobalt therapy after surgery. Eight months after diagnosis, the patient died of the illness.
