Published: July 2011

Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive jaw tumours with a high propensity for recurrence and are believed to be derived from remnants of odontogenic epithelium which does not undergo transformation to the point of enamel formation. Extragnathic ameloblastomas are unusual and primary nasal origin is extraordinarily uncommon.

Odontogenic keratocysts are known for their aggressive and recurrent nature. Clinically and radiographically distinguishing between ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocysts can be challenging due to their similar locations, age of affected patients, and multilocular appearance. Ameloblastomas co-occurring with odontogenic cysts or other odontogenic lesions have been documented as combined lesions.

Background: Odontogenic tumors constitute a rare group of lesions with diverse characteristics originating from tooth-forming tissues, primarily within the maxillofacial region. Variations in incidence across populations in India and with changes incorporated in successive World Health Organization (WHO) classifications, necessitate continued research to understand their epidemiology.

Objective: This retrospective study aims to provide an extensive analysis of Odontogenic tumors reported in a dental institute in Gujarat, India, using the 5 edition of the WHO classification.

Sclerosing Odontogenic Carcinoma: A Unique Odontogenic Carcinoma with Metastatic Potential.

Head Neck Pathol

February 2025

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Tygerberg Hospital, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa.

Background: The recent World Health Organization (WHO) classification of odontogenic tumours defines Sclerosing Odontogenic Carcinoma (SOC) as a rare primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) of the jaws. With the exception of one case, there have been no cases of SOC with metastatic disease. We report a unique case of SOC with neck node metastases, further expanding the clinical, radiological and histological spectrum of this rare intriguing tumour.
