Background: Hybrid Odontogenic Tumors (HOT) are defined by the presence of two or more independent odontogenic tumors that originate from and affect the same maxillofacial site.

Methods: The present study is the first case report of a mandibular HOT consisting of Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor, and Ameloblastic Fibroma.

Case Report: A 37-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandibular body.

Mandibular Reconstruction With a Patient-Specific Implant Following Surgical Excision of an Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma in a Dog.

Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) is an invasive benign epithelial odontogenic tumour most commonly affecting the mandible of large breed dogs. To the author's knowledge, this report describes the first computer-aided design patient-specific implant (PSI) that has been placed for a critical sized bone defect in mandibular reconstruction of a dog in the UK. The aim was to restore mandibular stability using a regenerative approach combining a titanium locking plate and compression-resistant matrix infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to bridge the 85 mm mandibular defect created by a segmental mandibulectomy.

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic epithelial tumor characterized by its aggressive behavior and a high likelihood of local recurrence if not fully excised. Ameloblastomas are a common type of slow-growing, true jaw tumor which may present as solid, multicystic or unicystic forms and originate from odontogenic epithelium and exhibit a variety of histological patterns. Keratoameloblastoma is considered to be a rare variant of ameloblastoma associated with more intense keratinization.

Odontogenic neoplasms of the jaw are dominated by ameloblastoma (AM), a locally aggressive epithelial tumor with a significant propensity for recurrence. The World Health Organization's 2022 update to the AM classification system underscores recent progress in comprehending its underlying mechanisms and refining clinical approaches. Contemporary research has yielded significant insights into the genetic underpinnings of AM, paving the way for the development of precision-based treatment strategies.

Ameloblastoma is a rare tumor arising from odontogenic cells that is benign, yet locally aggressive. Metastasizing ameloblastoma (METAM) is an ultra-rare ameloblastoma variant in which both primary and secondary tumors have histological features of benign ameloblastoma. This is a case report of a patient who presented with a jaw mass and subsequent lung metastases, later diagnosed as METAM.
