Clinico-pathological Correlation of three Cases of Squamous Odontogenic Tumor, a Rare Entity in the Odontogenic Tumor’s Arena!
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The squamous odontogenic tumour (sOT) is a rare, benign epithelial neoplasm of odontogenic apparatus that appears to originate from the rests of Malassez, remnants of the dental lamina or gingival epithelium. From its first documentation in 1975, Since then there is limited number of reported cases, especially in the Indian subcontinent. We report three cases of SOT with varied clinicopathological presentation and management. The first two cases presented as asymptomatic swellings in maxilla whereas the third one was in body of mandible. Variable radiographic picture ranging from well-defined radiolucency to mixed radiolucent-radiopacity was noticed among the three cases. All cases responded well to the conventional treatment therapy.
