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...

Introduction Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare, benign, slow-growing intraosseous odontogenic tumor, and accounts for 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. It is often confused with other entities, such as keratocysts, ameloblastomas, and odontogenic myxomas. Complete enucleation followed by curettage is the treatment of choice for COF to ensure the lowest possible chance of recurrence. C...

A 19-year-old man with refractory generalized epilepsy related to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (figure 1) complained of chronic left facial swelling. Physical examination disclosed typical mucocutaneous findings of TSC (hypomelanotic macules, shagreen patch, ungual fibromas, facial angiofibromas) and a hardened well-limited mass in his left maxilla, evidenced as an odontogenic extensive lef...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com different conditions were being reported as odontogenic fibroma (OF). Earlier they used to name every enlarged dental follicle as COF but actual cases been reported as the criteria proposed by Gardner in 1980 [3]. It is believed that it arises from true odontogenic mesenchyme influenced by the odontogenic apparatus [4]. As mentioned in literature ab...

Odontogenic carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant odontogenic tumor with only a few reported cases. It is characterized by a true mixed tumor showing malignant cytology of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. It has been assumed to arise from pre-existing lesions such as ameloblastoma, ameloblastic fibroma, and ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. To date, the reported cases have exhibited...

odontoma.2,3 Compound odontomas consist of tooth-like structures that radiographically appear as opacities. Complex odontomas comprise a mixture of odontogenic tissues without dental organization.2,4 Clinically, three types of odontomas are recognized in the literature: central (intraosseous) odontoma, peripheral (extraosseous or soft tissue) odontoma, and erupted odontoma.2,5 Odontomas are oft...

Objectives: Odontogenic tumors occupy an important position among head and neck tumors. Although, rarely encountered in medical practice but they considered increasingly challenging lesions for the clinicians due to their overlapping clinical histopathological features. This study was designed determine relative frequency of central odontogenic Iraqi population by utilizing 2022 WHO tumor class...
