Q

What is the relationship between lesion’s agrressivness, rate of reccurance and follow up duration ?

A

the more aggressive the biologic behavior, the higher risk of
recurrence, and the longer the follow up needed for the patient

Q

Which lesions are considered benigns

A

Things that have a very low rate of recurrence when you do a conservative excision or a nucleation ►they’re going to be very benign and they’re not going to be likely to be recurrent:
▪ Odontoma and radicular cysts are way down here near the benign side
▪ AOT (Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor) is benign.
▪ COCs (Calcifying odontogenic cyst) are benign.
▪ OKCs (Odontogenic keratocyst) ‐ they’re benign.
▪ Even Ameloblastomas are benign

Q

which lesions are on the malignant side?

A

But eventually you get over to the side over here where you can have something like an Ameloblastic carcinoma ‐ truly malignant –> We know that it can metastasize and it can lead to death
▪ Lesions like Ameloblastomas and CEOTs will need to be managed more aggressively. (Not just curettage, aka surgical scraping or cleaning)
o You have a resection ‐ either a portion of the mandible is
removed or a segment of the mandible is removed.

Q

Ameloblastoma

Origin

A

Potential sources of epithelium include:

o Enamel organ – look like they’re about to deposit a
substance but never do

o Odontogenic rests (Malassez, Serres)

o Reduced enamel epithelium

o Epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts ‐ can actually have an ameloblastoma arise within a dentigerous cyst

  • Smaller ones are asymptomatic, can be seen on routine imaging
  • Buccal and lingual cortical expansion is common
  • May perforate cortical plate and invade surrounding soft tissue
  • Can arise in a dentigerous cyst (see transition from stratified
  • squamous to ameloblastic epithelium)

Demographics

A

▪ 11‐18% of non‐cystic lesions of the maxillofacial bones

o Usually starts 2nd decade, can go up to 80‐90s. Late 30s/early 40s are usually the peak

Q

Ameloblastoma

Etiology

A

▪ Over expression of Bcl‐2 (anti‐apoptotic protein)
▪ Expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
▪ Over expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs 9 and 20) – like in OKC, allowing tumor to grow into surrounding area
▪ Surprisingly, no significant increase in Ki‐67 expression (cell
proliferation marker) – ameloblastomas do NOT turn over rapidly

Q

A

Ameloblastoma

▪ Well‐circumscribed radiolucency with a sclerotic or
corticated margin.

▪ If you had a CBCT, it would probably show you that there
was a thin septa in this area of residual bone trabeculae.

▪ Fracture could be caused by very large cysts.

▪ Resolve by decompressing unless with odontogenic tumor – need to remove the mandible 1cm+ on either side of lesion

Q

Unicystic
ameloblastoma

types

Subgroup of
ameloblastomas

A

▪ Unicystic (Simple or luminal)

  • lumina- confined to the surface lining of the cystic space

▪ Plexiform (intraluminal)

  • intralumina-one or more areas of the ameloblastic epithelial lining, proliferate into the lumen of the cystic space

▪ Mural – hard to distinguish from conventional,
so pathologists think they should NOT be treated the same as unicystic (which would be a more conservative treatment)
▪ Ameloblastoma arising in a cyst ‐ can usually be treated in a similar way as unicystic ameloblastoma.

  • Larger lesions can cause painless expansion of bone
  • All are radiolucent lesions, but the appearance can vary from well‐ circumscribed to irregular and diffuse
  • Unilocular to, more commonly, multilocular (“soap bubble” or “honeycomb”) radiolucency
  • Borders are often scalloped, can see sc_alloping around the roots of teeth_
    • But can cause displacement of teeth and resorption of the roots of teet
87
Q

Odontogenic Myxoma

Grossly

A
  • the tumor is described as loose, soft and gelatinous
88
Q

Odontogenic Myxoma

Treatment

A
  • Surgical excision or resection
  • Because the lesion is not encapsulated and has a gelatinous loose consistency► it is difficult to remove completely
    • this is thought to be why myxoma has a fairly high recurrence rate
  • Maxillary posterior lesions should be treated more aggressively
89
Q

What is this radiographic finding?

A

Odontogenic Myxoma

  • Classic example of enlargement of the mandible caused by multilocular radiolucency.
  • Enlarged into oral cavity ‐ alveolar ridge elevated
90
Q

What is this radiographic finding?

A

Odontogenic Myxoma

91
Q

Case

A

Clinically: obliteration of vestibule on patient’s left mandible

Radiographically:lesion running from posterior by third molar all the way anterior to canine. Well‐circumscribed, multilocular radiolucency is scalloping up
between teeth, causing some root divergence

Grossly: gelatinous appearance of myxoma makes it hard to remove

After treatment: post‐surgery; had excised all the way to right 2nd PM

This is Odontogenic Myxoma
