Study Notes
Types of Odontogenic Tumors
- Classifications include epithelial, mesenchymal, and mixed tumors.
Mesenchymal Odontogenic Tumors
- Key types:
- Odontogenic myxoma
- Odontogenic fibroma
- Cementifying fibroma
- Cementoblastoma
- Periapical cemental dysplasia
- Dentinoma
Odontogenic Myxoma
- Also referred to as odontogenic fibromyoma, myxofibroma, or fibromyxoma.
- Arises from ectomesenchyme; benign but infiltrative and aggressive.
- Rare variant: myxosarcoma.
- Typically affects young adults with a mean age of 30.
- Features bonny expansion and cortical destruction; gender distribution is equal.
Clinical Features of Odontogenic Myxoma
- Commonly found in the premolar and molar regions of tooth-bearing areas.
- Presents as radiolucent lesions with a multilocular "honeycomb" appearance.
- Can cause cortical expansion or perforation and displacement of teeth.
Histopathological Features of Odontogenic Myxoma
- Composed of acellular myxomatous connective tissue.
- Contains benign fibroblasts and myofibroblasts within a mucopolysaccharide matrix, often interspersed with bony islands.
Differential Diagnosis for Odontogenic Myxoma
- Must be differentiated from central hemangioma, CEOT, ameloblastoma, dentigerous cyst, OKC, central giant cell granuloma, and ossifying fibroma.
Treatment and Prognosis of Odontogenic Myxoma
- Surgical excision is primary, with curettage sometimes leading to incomplete removal.
- Recurrence is possible; prognosis is generally good with no metastasis.
Odontogenic Fibroma
- Occurs in all age groups without gender predilection; may be asymptomatic.
- Typically features slow-growing masses that expand the cortical bone.
Radiographic Features of Odontogenic Fibroma
- Appears as radiolucent with a multilocular pattern.
Histopathological Features of Odontogenic Fibroma
- Composed of fibrous tissue with spindle-shaped fibroblasts and strands of odontogenic epithelium.
- Two types: simple and WHO type.
Treatment and Prognosis of Odontogenic Fibroma
- Managed via simple enucleation or excision.
- Prognosis is good with uncommon recurrence.
Cementifying Fibroma
- A central fibrous lesion resembling odontogenic fibroma.
- Most prevalent in adults, with a mean age of 40, typically affecting the mandible.
Radiographic Features of Cementifying Fibroma
- Characterized by radiolucent areas with more opaque foci and islands of calcifications; well-circumscribed with a sclerotic margin.
Histopathological Features of Cementifying Fibroma
- Features a cellular fibrous matrix with haphazardly arranged collagen fibers and trabecular islands of new bone containing osteoblasts.
Differential Diagnosis for Cementifying Fibroma
- Consider cementoblastoma, ossifying fibroma, and chronic osteomyelitis.
Treatment of Cementifying Fibroma
- Similar to odontogenic fibroma, treatment involves conservative enucleation or excision with rare recurrence.
Cementoblastoma
- Known as true cementoma; a rare, benign neoplasm of cementoblast origin.
- Commonly affects the second to third decades of life, especially in the maxilla.
Clinical and Radiographic Features of Cementoblastoma
- Typically causes slow growth and cortical expansion; presents with low-grade pain associated with a vital tooth.
- Appears as a well-circumscribed radiolucent mass with a thin uniform radiopaque ring.
Differential Diagnosis for Cementoblastoma
- Must differentiate from severe hypercementosis, bony islands, chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis, odontomas, and osteoblastoma.
Treatment of Cementoblastoma
- Managed through surgical removal; recurrence is uncommon.
Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Also referred to as cementoma or focal cemento-osseous dysplasia; etiology is unknown but considered a reactive process to infection or trauma.
Clinical Features of Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Common in middle age, primarily affecting the mandible's anterior teeth at vital tooth apices.
- Usually presents asymptomatically with multiple lesions.
Radiographic Features of Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Progresses through stages: osteolytic stage (radiolucent), cementoblastic stage (radiolucent with radiopaque), and mature stage (radiopaque).
Histopathological Features of Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Composed of bone, cementum, and fibrous tissue; varies from osteolytic (predominant fibrostroma) to mature (calcified islands).
Differential Diagnosis for Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Important to differentiate from CAP, odontoma, endostosis, hypercementosis, chronic osteomyelitis, ossifying fibroma, granuloma, cyst, and osteoblastoma.
Treatment for Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
- Typically requires no treatment; periodic observation is recommended.
