Context: Mesenchymal odontogenic tumors arise from the remnants of the mesenchymal portion of tooth germ. Central odontogenic fibroma (COF), odontogenic myxoma (OM) and Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) are closely related and show varied clinical presentation and overlapping histopathology. They are differentiated by their collagen quantity, maturity and distribution. Diagnostic difficulties are posed...

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) previously known as calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a relatively rare lesion. It was first reported as a separate pathologic entity by Gorlin et al in 1962 as a likely analog of the cutaneous calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe or pilomatricoma. Because of the diverse clinicohistologic features and the various neoplastic potential, there have been ...

Ameloblastic fibroodontoma is a benign mixed odontogenic neoplasm considered in patients with asymptomatic swelling and unerupted teeth that exhibit histologic features between ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. Radiographically, this lesion appears as radiolucency admixed with focal radio opaque masses of irregular shapes and sizes. This lesion is confirmed by the presence of prolifera...

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic neoplasm of the jaw. AFS is characteristically composed of a benign odontogenic epithelium and a malignant mesenchymal component. The posterior region of the mandible is the predominantly occupied site. In the present report, a new case of AFS in a 22-year-old male that originated from ameloblastic fibroma was described. Histologic...
