Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic tumors are generally slow-growing but can exhibit aggressive traits; the report discusses two cases of benign lesions in the anterior maxilla.
- A 44-year-old woman experienced gradual swelling following a dental injury, while a 50-year-old woman had a similar issue that persisted for 5 years without pain.
- Both cases showed through CBCT imaging that the lesions had features of moderate growth and erosion, with biopsy results indicating they were benign, specifically desmoplastic ameloblastoma and squamous odontogenic tumor, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis.

Squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is a rare benign but locally infiltrative tumor often misdiagnosed as other entities, such as ameloblastoma and squamous cell carcinoma, due to overlapping morphological findings. We document here the clinicopathological and imaging findings of an aggressive intraosseous SOT in the posterior left region of the maxilla in a 25-year-old male patient. On intraoral examination, the tumor extended from the region of the left lateral incisor to the upper left premolar and was covered by reddish mucosa, with discrete areas of ulceration.
