“…And because of that, there are limited details in the literature regarding their clinical and radiological features. The epidemiological study of such rare lesions is of great importance because it provides information that can improve the diagnostic accuracy and will allow pathologists and surgeons to make informed decisions and refine the treatment plan to optimize the clinical outcome (Chrcanovic & Gomez, , ). The aim of this study was to integrate the available data published in the literature on GOC into an updated comprehensive comparative analysis of their clinical, radiological, and histopathological features, as well as to investigate the probability of recurrence of the tumor for different variables and treatment approaches.…”

“…The aim of the present study was to integrate the available data published in the literature on GSD with involvement of the jaws into an updated comprehensive analysis of their features, as well as the options of treatment and the frequency of recurrence. A review of pathological lesions and conditions is important because it provides information that can improve diagnostic accuracy, allowing pathologists and surgeons to make informed decisions and refine treatment plans to optimize clinical outcomes [12][13][14][15][16] .…”

The purpose was to systematically review all published cases of Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) involving the jaws, identify the clinic-radiological and histopathological features associated with the persistence of the lesions, and the best treatment options available. An electronic search was undertaken in November/2018. Eligibility criteria included publications having enough information to confirm the diagnosis. Eighty-six publications reporting 89 cases were included. Features observed: symptomatic (51.1%), swelling (34.1%), pathological fracture (31.8%), history of previous trauma (32.1%), high levels of alkaline phosphatase (24.3%), predominance of vascular tissue (72.4%). Nearly 1/4 of the patients were only followed up and no treatment was implemented. Most of treatments consisted of some type of surgery with/without additional therapies (42.0%), drugs (20.5%), and radiotherapy (14.8%). Half of the cases were found to persist after some treatment modality and five patients died. Among the different variables investigated, only the fact of crossing the midline showed association with the persistence of the lesion. There is still a lot to understand about GSD, a rare condition with no clear consensus on the etiopathology, unpredictable clinical course, and no standard treatment. The high percentage of cases that persist after treatment are found to be associated only with the lesion crossing the midline.

“…Ameloblastic fibroma represents only about 2% of odontogenic tumours, and AFS is considered to be rare. An epidemiological study of these rare tumours is important because it provides information that can improve diagnostic accuracy, allowing pathologists and surgeons to make informed decisions and refine treatment plans to optimize clinical outcomes . Therefore, the aim of this study was to integrate the available data published in the literature on these lesions into an updated comprehensive comparative analysis of their clinical and radiological features, as well as the frequency of recurrence.…”
