Epithelial odontogenic tumor

A type of odontogenic tumor composed of epithelial cells with a mature fibrous stroma, but lacking the mesenchyme component of tooth development.

Ameloblastoma

The most common clinically significant odontogenic tumor, characterized by its slow growth and aggressive behavior.

Multicystic ameloblastoma

A clinical variant of ameloblastoma characterized by multiple cystic spaces within the bone.

Oral mucosa

The origin of peripheral (extraosseous) ameloblastoma, arising from the oral mucosa rather than within bone.

Study Notes

Odontogenic Tumors

  • Odontogenic tumors characterized by odontogenic epithelium with mature fibrous stroma, without odontogenic mesenchyme are classified as Ameloblastomas.

Ameloblastoma

  • Ameloblastoma is the most common clinically significant odontogenic tumor.
  • The multicystic variant of Ameloblastoma is characterized by multiple cystic spaces intra-osseously.
  • Peripheral (extraosseous) Ameloblastoma originates from the histogenesis of the gingiva or mucosa.
  • The most common age range for the occurrence of Ameloblastoma is between 30-50 years.
  • Ameloblastoma is most commonly associated with the black race.
  • The most common site for Ameloblastoma to occur is the mandible, especially in the molar-ramus area.
  • The most common histological pattern seen in Ameloblastoma is the follicular pattern.
  • The acanthomatous variant of Ameloblastoma may show squamous metaplasia.
  • The plexiform variant of Ameloblastoma may exhibit cystic degeneration affecting stellate reticulum-like cells.
  • Enucleation with thorough curettage is recommended for Ameloblastoma to prevent recurrence.

Unicystic Ameloblastoma

  • Unicystic Ameloblastoma refers to a type of Ameloblastoma that involves a single cystic space.
  • The intraluminal variant of Unicystic Ameloblastoma involves infiltration of the fibrous wall by Ameloblastoma cells.

Other Odontogenic Tumors

  • Odontogenic tumors characterized by odontogenic mesenchyme with epithelial rests are classified as Odontogenic Hamartomas.
  • The classification of odontogenic tumors that includes odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic mesenchyme is called Odontogenic Tumors with Odontogenic Mesenchyme.
