Study Notes

Benign Odontogenic Tumors

  • Epithelial Origin: Ameloblastoma

  • Amelo Blastoma:

    • Most common odontogenic tumor.
    • Key difference from cysts: aggressive neoplasm, versus benign growth characteristics.
    • Differentiated into unicystic/locular and multicystic types.
    • Common in men, variability in age (20-40).
    • Location: often in molar regions, may extend into maxillary sinus.
    • Imaging features variable.
    • Periphery: well-defined; internal structures unilocular or multilocular radiolucent with curved bony septa (soap bubble/honeycomb appearance).
    • Effect on surrounding structures: resorption, extensive root displacement, thinning of adjacent cortical bone (leaving an "egg shell" appearance), mandible and ramus expansion; tooth displacement.

Differential Diagnosis

  • Cystic:

    • Uni-cystic: radiolucent, no septa
    • Multi-cystic: radiolucent, thin septa

  • Odontogenic Myxoma:

    • Location: commonly in lower anterior
    • Younger population.
    • Granular septa present.

  • Central Giant Cell Granuloma: - Location: lower anterior - Younger population.

  • Amelo plastic Fibroma:

    • Radiopaque areas and ill-defined septa.
    • Younger age.

  • Haemangioma:

    • Wide granular ill-defined septa
    • Young age

  • Ossifying Fibroma:

    • Similar to fibrous dysplasia in appearance

  • Aneurysmal Cyst:

    • Wide granular, ill-defined septa.
    • Young age

Calcifing Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT) - Pindborg tumor

  • Less aggressive than ameloblastoma.

  • Occurs in older age.

  • Imaging features: Expansion.

  • Location: Posterior mandibular region.

Mixed Odontogenic Tumors

  • Odontoma:

    • Most common odontogenic tumor.
    • Interferes with eruption of permanent teeth.
    • Common in children/young adults.
    • Compound odontoma is most common in anterior maxilla, with impacted canine.

  • Ameloblastic Fibroma:

    • Occurs in a younger age (5-20).
    • Common presentation: occlusal pain, swelling.
    • Periphery, well defined, Corticated
    • Internal structure; more unilocular/multilocular radiolucency.

Other Tumours

  • Odontogenic myxoma:

    • Aggressive and non-encapsulated.
    • High recurrence rate.
    • Radiolucent with ill-defined borders.

  • Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT)

    • Most common in females in their 20s.
    • Radiolucent with well defined borders.

  • Central Odontogenic Fibroma:

  • Clinical features: Painful or asymptomatic swelling, well-defined periphery.

    • Location: posterior mandible.
    • Internal structure: mixed/variable
    • Other: Expansive nature causes tooth displacement.
