A Misdiagnosed Odontogenic Tumor: A Clinical Dilemma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Odontogenic myxomas are rarely occurring, slow-growing, asymptomatic, and locally aggressive odontogenic tumors with high rate of recurrence, mainly of ectomesenchymal origin. Three-dimensional imaging techniques can be used to diagnose such pathological lesions, but have limited use as they are not cost-effective and are selectively available for better outcome. Following is a case report of OM of a 5-year-old child with a brief discussion on its diagnosis and management. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE Mukherjee CG, Mukherjee U, Bansal A, Jha A.

Dentigerous Cyst or Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor: Clinical Radiological and Histopathological Dilemma
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a well-recognised slow growing benign tumor derived from complex system of dental lamina or its remnants. This lesion is categorised into three variants of which the more common variant is follicular type which is often mistaken for dentigerous cyst. We present a case of AOT in a 14-year-old male who was misdiagnosed as dentigerous cyst. Clinical radiologi...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare entity described by Pindborg and represents < 1% of all odontogenic tumors. Nearly 200 cases of this neoplasm have been reported to date. It mostly occurs in the posterior mandible associated with an impacted tooth, most often a mandibular molar. Patients are usually between 30 and 50 years of age, with no sex pred...
متن کاملAggressive calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor masquerading as maxillary sinus tumor: a case report.
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. Its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. Maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures. We report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. The purpose o...
متن کاملExtrafollicular Cystic Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor of the Maxilla: a Rare Challenging Case Report with Review of the Literature
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a non-aggressive slow growing epithelial odontogenic tumor with varied clinical and microscopic features. This neoplasm rarely appears as a completely cystic lesion histopathologically; therefore, oral pathologists should be aware of the various histopathologic types of this lesion. The main objective of this case report is to present a rare challenging case o...

Adenoameloblastoma or adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon, benign, epithelial lesion of odontogenic origin. It is a rare benign odontogenic tumor of the jaw affecting mostly young individuals with predominance in female. It occurs mostly in maxillary anterior region. On the basis of clinical and radiographical picture, it is often misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst. We report on...
