Exam 5-Odontogenic Tumors Flashcards
What are the three classes of odontogenic tumors based on their tissue of origin?
1.Ectodermal (epithelial) 2.Mesodermal (connective tissue) 3. Mixed
What are the 4 types of ectodermal (epithelial) odontogenic tumors?
1.Ameloblastoma 2. Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor 3.Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) 4.Squamous Odontogenic Tumor (SOT)
What is the most likely age range for Ameloblastoma?
Middle age (mid 30’s-40’s)
Where are most Ameloblastomas found?
75% in the mandible, and more often in the posterior mandible
What is usually the first clinical sign of an Amelioblastoma?
Swelling (cortical expansion)
Radiographically: Amelioblastoma May be pericoronal, always radio______, fairly well _______. Classically multi_____, move teeth, and can cause root _______
lucent… circumscribed…..multilocular….resporption
The histo-path of an Ameloblastoma is described as epithelial _______ and cords
islands
If you had only two phrases to describe the histology of an Ameloblastoma, what would they be??
peripheral cells that show 1.PALISADING (columnar) and 2.REVERSE NUCLEAR POLARITY
An ameloblastoma has an interesting spread pattern, it can invade ______ bone, but tends to EXPAND the ______ bone.
invades medullary bone….expands cortical bone
What is the treatment for an ameloblastoma? What is the recurrence rate?
aggressive curettage…50%
Is a peripheral (extraosseus) ameloblastoma MORE or LESS aggressive??
LESS aggressive
What is the term for an ameloblastoma that is a solitary cyst in which the it is CONFINED to the epithelial lining or cyst lumen…IS it more or less aggressive? What is the recurrence rate with enucleation?
UNICYSTIC…less aggressive, recurrence 10-25% with enucleation
What are the two variants of ameloblastoma that metastasize?
1.Malignant ameloblastoma 2.Ameloblastic carcinoma
Can you definitively diagnose variants of ameloblastoma via an incisional biopsy?
Nope
What is another name for a Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor?
Pindborg Tumor (CEOT)
What is the “official” name of a Pindborg tumor?
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor
What is the most common location for an CEOT (Pindborg Tumor)?
midbody of the mandible
Since the radiographic appearance of CEOT is radiolucent and mixed radiolucent/opaque, what is the nickname for the lesion?
“driven snow”
What is a CEOT (Pindborg Tumor) often associated with?
Unerupted teeth (pericoronal)
What type of ectodermal odontogenic tumor is described as islands and sheets of pleomorphic epithelial cells?
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic tumors (Pondborg tumor)
Interesting…in a CEOT (Pindborg Tumor) tumor cells are ______ and produce protein matrix similar to ______ matrix (stains with amyloid stains) and may calcify.
functional…enamel
What is the most common age range, sex, and placement of an Adenomatid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT)?
Teenage girls, maxillary anterior region (associated with uninterupted teeth)
How does an AOT appear on a radiograph? (2 descriptions please)
Radiolucent (pericoronal), flecks of opacity
Which epithelial odontogenic tumor am I describing?? Encapsulated, swirls of epithelial cells containing rosettes or DUCT-like spaces lined by cuboidal or columnar cells.
Adeno-Matid Odontogenic Tumor
What is the treatment for an AOT?
Adeno-matid odontogenic tumors get ENUCLEATED (they come out real easy)
Which odontogenic tumor is not distinguishable clinically, and appears as islands of well-differentiated squamous epithelium and the peripheral layer of cells flattened…
Squamous Odontogenic Tumor (SOT)
What does a Squamous Odontogenic Tumor appear as radiographically?
RadioLUCENT around tooth roots
What is a positive about SOTs?
Low recurrence rate with curettage
What are the 4 types of MESODERMAL odontogenic tumors?
1.Central Odontogenic Fibroma 2.Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma 3.Odontogenic Myxoma 4.Cementum Lesions
What are the three types of cementum lesions?
1.Central cemento-ossifying fibroma (ossifying fibroma, cementifying fibroma) 2.Benign cementoblastoma (TRUE cementoma) 3.Gigantiform cementoma
