Background: Odontogenic tumors arise from remnants of embryonic tissue destined to develop into teeth & associated structure. They originate from remnants of odontogenic epithelium, mesenchymal or combination of cellular elements that comprise the toothforming apparatus, clinical behaviour ranges from hematoma like proliferation to benign and invasive neoplasm Objective: Purpose of study to ana...

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare type of odontogenic carcinoma arising from the jawbone. Odontogenic cysts are true cysts that arise from the dental epithelium, which is associated with tooth formation. The epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts has the potential to transform into various types of odontogenic tumor; however, this transformation from an odontogenic...

Introduction: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare malignant lesion arising within the jawbones, without initial connection with the oral mucosa. This malignant lesion develops from odontogenic epithelium or odontogenic cysts or tumors. Case Report: In this case report, an intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic cyst in a 60-year-old male pati...

The combined epithelial odontogenic tumor is known to be an uncommon lesion characterized by the synchronous presentation of typical histological features of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, or Pindborg tumor. Combination between other types of odontogenic tumors has occasionally been reported in the literature. In this work we report 2 cases of adenomatoi...

INTRODUCTION Keratocystic odontogenic tumors are benign neoplasms of odontogenic origin with a potential for aggressive and infiltrative behavior. Many different treatments for this type of lesion have been reported. However, no common consensus has emerged to date regarding the most effective therapeutic approach. Cases of maxillary sinus giant keratocystic odontogenic tumors completely excise...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a benign but aggressive neoplasm. As enucleation alone obtains high recurrence rates, some adjuvant treatments such as Carnoy's solution have been proposed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reduction of recurrences with the use of Carnoy's solution as adjuvant in the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumors. MATERIAL...

Growth is a highly coordinated process which is sustained by several growth factors and apoptotic factors. Any disturbance in this delicate balance leads to pathologies and genes that have such potential to produce tumors when mutated are known as oncogenes. EGFR an important growth factor that is involved in several physiological processes is presently one of the most common genes in targeted ...
