Study Notes
Odontogenic Tumors Overview
- Odontogenic tumors arise from the tissues involved in tooth development.
- Types include epithelial, mesenchymal, and mixed tumors.
Epithelial Odontogenic Tumors
- Major types:
- Ameloblastoma
- Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT)
- Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor
- Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst
- Squamous Odontogenic Tumor
Ameloblastoma
- Etiology:
- Unknown with no single causative factor.
- Theories suggest origins from enamel organ remnants, surface epithelium, or heterotrophic epithelium.
- Clinical features:
- Predominantly affects adults aged 35-45.
- Asymptomatic, with mobile teeth as a common complaint.
- Slow-growing and often undetectable by palpation.
- Types:
- Solid
- Multicystic
- Unicystic
- Radiographic features:
- Appears as a soap bubble or multilocular osteolytic lesion in tooth-bearing areas.
- Margins are typically unencapsulated with potential for tooth resorption.
- Histological features:
- Presence of polarized ameloblast-like cells and loosely arranged cells similar to stratum reticulum.
- Subtypes include follicular, cystic, plexiform, acanthomatous, basal, and granular.
- Treatment:
- Solid/multicystic tumors require surgical excision or resection.
- Unicystic may be treated with enucleation.
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT)
- Etiology:
- Unknown, believed to arise from dental lamina remnants.
- Clinical features:
- Occurs in the 2nd to 10th decade with an average age of 40.
- More prevalent in the mandible than the maxilla, typically in the molar-ramus area.
- Radiographic features:
- Can appear unilocular or multilocular with a honeycomb or snowflake appearance.
- Histological features:
- Characterized by polygonal epithelial cells and amyloid deposits, visible under a polarized light.
- Treatment:
- Enucleation or excision is preferred due to lower recurrence rates (20%).
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor
- Previously known as adenoameloblastoma, classified as a benign hamartoma.
- Clinical features:
- Common in the second decade of life, with a female predominance.
- Typically well-circumscribed around the crowns of impacted teeth, particularly in the anterior maxilla and mandible.
- Histological features:
- Exhibits a lobular pattern, with polyhedral and spindle-shaped cells and rosettes.
- Treatment:
- Enucleation or excision is effective.
Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst
- Known as "ghost cell tumor," exhibits benign characteristics but has malignant variants.
- Clinical features:
- Can occur at any age, often in the maxilla.
- Usually found in the alveolar ridge anterior to the first molar.
- Histological features:
- Characterized by ghost cells and squamous epithelial lining with ameloblast-like basal cells.
- Treatment:
- Enucleation, low risk of recurrence.
Squamous Odontogenic Tumor
- Rare tumor primarily affecting young adults.
- Clinical features:
- More common in the anterior maxilla and posterior mandible.
- Displays cyst-like properties or mimics periodontal bone loss.
- Histological features:
- Contains islands of squamous epithelium and foci of keratin or parakeratin.
- Treatment:
- Typically managed by curettage and extraction of involved teeth.
