Background. The aim of this study was to investigate myofibroblast (MF) density in a broad spectrum of odontogenic cysts and tumors and the relation between the density of MFs and the clinical behavior of these lesions. Methods. A total of 105 cases of odontogenic lesions, including unicystic ameloblastoma (UAM), solid ameloblastoma (SA), odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), dentigerous cyst (DC), rad...

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign, non-invasive tumor and has a slow growth. Its preferred location is the anterior maxillary area, most often causing root displacement, more rarely resorption and mostly affects young women. Being asymptomatic, this injury is discovered upon routine radiographic examination, in which, in most cases, a unilocular, radiolucent image is observed and it...

This report describes the surgical therapy, clinical course and morphological characteristics of an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor that developed in the maxilla of a 16-year-old patient. The cystic tumor filled the maxillary sinus and was removed with the retained tooth. Healing was uneventful and no local recurrence was observed during a two-year period of follow-up control. The tumor showed im...
