Histological Pathologic Report
Pathological diagnosis:
Bone, mandible, tooth 43&44 apical area, incision, cemento-ossifying fibroma
Gross Examination :
The specimen submitted consists of more than 10 soft tissue fragments in 1 bottle, measuring up to 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm in size, fixed in formalin. Grossly, they are white in color and elastic in consistency.
Microscopic Examination :
The slide contains two identical groups of irregular- shaped soft tissue specimens. Microscopically, it shows cemento-ossifying fibroma .

Symptoms and signs stationary

Treatment Plan
Cemento-ossifying fibromas can usually be
readily enucleated, separating from bone in the plane of their capsule.
Occasionally, large tumors that have distorted the jaw require local resection and bone grafting, but recurrence is rare.

醫學倫理討論
以 Jonsen架構檢視這次病例 的治療模式
是否符合醫學倫理
Tom Beauchamp &James Childress 六大原則- 1979
1. 行善原則(Beneficence),亦即醫師要盡其所能延長病人之生 命且減輕病人之痛苦。
2. 誠信原則(Veractity),亦即醫師對其病人有「以誠信相對待」
的義務。
3. 自主原則(Autonomy),亦即病患對其己身之診療決定的自主 權必須得到醫師的尊重。
4. 不傷害原則(Nonmaleficence),亦即醫師要盡其所能避免病 人承受不必要的身心傷害。
5. 保密原則(Confidentiality),亦即醫師對病人的病情負有保密 的責任。
6. 公義原則(Justice),亦即醫師在面對有限的醫療資源時,應 以社會公平、正義的考量來協助合理分配此醫療資源給真正最 需要它的人。
Jonsen架構
Jonsen, Siegler and Winslade; Clinical Ethics: A Practical Approach to Ethical Decisions in Clinical Medicine (3rd edition McGraw-Hill 1992 )
1. 醫療現況
2. 病人抉擇
3. 生命品質
4. 社會脈絡
Medical indication for intervention
江小姐因切片診斷出其右下顎骨有
Cemental-ossefying fibroma, 因此要考慮
治療的選擇。考慮接受腫瘤切除術與否,
需考慮若切除與否預後各是如何?
是否有其他替代治療以維護病人自主選 擇的權益?
Patient’s Preference
江小姐並無心智失能且在法律上有能力,
理應選擇對她最有利的治療方式,並需 被告之治療可獲得的利益及其風險,且 病歷記載中並無記錄病人於術前表示其 喜好,並於之後排定治療流程中皆相當 配合,於此方面應無違反醫療倫理。
Quality of life
若施行腫瘤切除術合併移除因病灶而影 響到的牙齒42, 43, 44,病人即使治療成 功,病人需面對該處咬合重建的問題,
醫療提供者是否將此考慮進去並告知病 患,是否會影響病人對此病灶處理方式 的態度?
在腫瘤邊緣的牙齒41, 42是否先以保留 為目標?
若不治療,則病患是否能行使正常生活 不受病灶影響?
Contextual issues
江小姐目前未婚,無丈夫子女等家庭因 素影響治療,但病歷上並未詳載病人使 否有經濟、宗教、文化上之因素會影響 病人選擇治療。其餘法律因素、社會資 源應對此病例無影響,且無利益衝突者 介入醫療過程。
醫學倫理總結
應多注意病歷記載,特別對於病灶之治 療計畫及病人態度,以了解此案例在醫 療現況及病人抉擇上是否合乎醫學倫理 原則。
此病人需手術介入,並需長期配合及考 慮家庭支持之因素,應更詳盡詢問病人 社會脈絡部分。
