Relative Frequency of Central Odontogenic Tumors: A Study of 1,088 Cases from Northern California and Comparison to Studies from Other Parts of the World

Clinicopathological Evaluation of Odontogenic Tumours in Pakistan - A Seven Years Retrospective Study

“…As mentioned earlier, benign odontogenic tumours were found to be far more common (98.3%) than their malignant counterpart and ameloblastoma was the most with other published studies from Nigeria, India, Iran and Egypt (Ladeinde et al, 2005;Sriram and Shetty, 2008; contrary to the results of studies from America and Brazil where Odontoma was seen the most common histological type (Buchner et al, 2006;Lima et al, 2008). Similarly in studies conducted on Libyan and Brazillian population showed KCOT to be the most common type (El-Gehani et al, 2009, Daniela et al, 2012.…”

“…According to the most recent WHO (World keratocyst is considered as a benign cystic neoplasm known as Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumour (KCOT) (Barnes et al, 2005). Although numerous studies have been conducted on various populations of the world to see their relative frequencies (Buchner et al, 2006;Bhawna and Zyada, 2010) but none could be traced that reveals its frequency in our region. The current study therefore was planned to analyse clinicopathological spectrum of odontogenic tumours, both benign and malignant in…”

Odontogenic tumors in an Iranian population: a 30-year evaluation

“…Bucher et al (23,26) showed that 99.95% of total odontogenic tumors were central and only 0.05% were peripheral, and that the most common peripheral tumor was odontogenic fibromyxoma. The posterior region of the jaws was the most common location for odontogenic tumors in the present study (mandible = 63%; maxilla = Table 4 Comparison of the present study with large studies reported from different countries and regions Fig.…”

Tumores odontogênicos: estudo clínico-patológico de 238 casos

“…The biological behavior of these tumors includes hamartomatous proliferation, non-aggressive benign tumors, and aggressive and malignant tumors. 1 There has been considerable interest in odontogenic tumors by oral pathologists, who have studied and catalogued these tumors for decades. These tumors are 2.5% of all biopsied lesions in dental offices.…”

“…1 The first classification of these tumors was published in 1971, based on a 5-year joint effort coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO).12 An updated edition of this classification was published in 1992. 15 A new classification was proposed in 2005, which included the odontogenic keratocyst as a benign odontogenic tumor.…”
