OBJECTIVES: To investigate the vascular structure of different malignant tumours of the mandible. METHODS: Specimen arteriography was performed on seven cases of squamous cell carcinoma of gingiva and four sarcomas. RESULTS: Malignant tumours could be divided into two groups: (1) the hypervascular sarcomas in in which the arteries were dilated, distributed evenly and arranged in a bush-like pattern; and (2) hypovascular squamous cell carcinoma with scanty arteries distributed unevenly without dilatation; in some areas, the shape of arteries was irregular and arranged in a network pattern. CONCLUSIONS: The variation in vascular structure of malignant tumours of the mandible may be related to the outcome of regional chemotherapy.
