Maxillofacial tumours include neoplasms that may affect the oral cavity, jaw bones, salivary glands, paranasal sinuses, and facial skin. The most common are oral cavity carcinomas, including tumours of the tongue, floor of the mouth and gums, neoplasms of the salivary glands (parotid and minor salivary glands), and tumours of the paranasal sinuses. Facial skin lesions within the head and neck region are also frequently encountered. Diagnosis and staging always require specialist assessment and a structured pathway involving clinical examination, imaging and, where indicated, biopsy — as the anatomical site and histological type determine both treatment and prognosis.
