Odontogenic Tumors Flashcards
Not true neoplasms =
reactive hyperplastic rxns of
connective tissue to
chronic injruy or irriation
reactive proliferations
reactive proliferations
- sef limiting growth of
- fibroblastic tissue or
- mix of fibrous AND vascular tissue
from chronic irritation: cheek biting, ill fitting dentures, etc.
true benign neoplasms
conn tissue arise from:
fibroblast
endothelia
skeletal msucle
smooth muscle
lipcytes
harmatomas
odontogenic tumor like malformations
waht are the 3 categories of odonotgenic tumors?
[hint: origin of the tumor]
- tumors of odontogenic epithelium - only odon epithelium
- mixed odontogenic tumors:
- odon epithelium AND ectomesenchyme
- may have dental hard tissues
3. tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme: - MOSTLY odon ectomesenchyme
- may have odon epithelium
waht are the 5 tumor of odonotgenic epithelium
- ameloblastoma [4 subtypes]
- clear cell odontogenic carcinoma
- adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
- calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor
- squamous odontogenic tumor
what are the 4 subtypes of ameloblastoma that are also included as a tumor of odontogenic epithelium
- conventional solid = multicystic ameloblastoma
- unicystic ameloblastoma
- peripheral ameloblastoma = extraosseous ameloblastoma
- malignant ameloblastoma = ameloblastic carcinoma
what is the most common CLINICAL significant odontogenic tumor?
ameloblastoma
Theoretically ameloblastoma can arise from 4 things:
- rests of dental lamina
- developing enamel organ
- epithelial lining of odontogenic cyst
- basal cells of the oral mucosa
ameloblastoma:
____ growing, _____ invasive, benign or malignant?
slow growing
locally invasive
benign
3 clinico radiographic situations w/
different prognosis and therapies
- conventional solid = multicystic ameloblastoma
- unicystic ameloblastoma
- peripheral ameloblastoma = extraosseous ameloblastoma
of the 3 clinicoradiographic situations which is the most -> least common
conventional solid [86%]
unicystic [13%]
extraosseous [1%]
1) Assymptomatic, painless, small swelling/lesion
2) detected upon radiographic exam
3) jaw expansion:
- 85% mandible [molar and ascending region]
- 15% maxilla [posterior region]
4) rarely 10 yo >
commonly 10 - 19 yo
5) if left untreated may be massive
6) paresthesia and pain is UNCOMMON [even with large tumors]
conventional solid
multicystic ameloblastoma
multilocular radioleucent lesion
soap bubbly when large
**honeycombed ** when small
B - L cortical expansion is freq
commonly root resorption of teeth adj to tumor
conventional ameloblastoma
multicystic ameloblastoma
Hx: follicular pattern
most common recognizable pattern for ameloblastoma, 4 things
- multiple islands of odontogenic epithelium
in mature fibrous CT stroma
- core resemblems
- STELLATE RETICULUM of enamel organ
- exhibits foci of cystic degeneration - peripheral columnar cells with
reverse polarity in nuclei
multicystic ameloblastoma can
exhibit _____ pattern and ___ common
plexiform pattern
less common
tx of multicystic ameloblastoma
- curretage
- simple enucleation
- en bloc resection
- marginal resection
of the 4 which is the mostly widely used treatmetn and ___% reoccurance
marginal resection
15% reoccurence
waht is the most optimal tx of ameloblastoma
controversial and is conventional to:
infiltrate bt the intact cancellous bone trabeculae
at the periphery of the lesion
**before **bone resorption bc radiographic evident
__ leaves islands of tumor within bone
later __% reoccurence
curretage
50 - 90% reoccurence
removal of tumor followed by
____ ___
reduces need for extensive reconstructive surgery
peripeheral ostectomy
marginal resction should be
**at least ** ____ to ____ PAST radiographic limits of tumor
1.0 - 1.5 com **past radiographic limits of tumor **
___ _____ ____ particular dangerous bc of
difficulty obtaining ___ ___
ameloblastomas of posterior maxilla
dangerous
for good surgical margin
- localized ameloblastoma in young patient
- less aggressive
- circumscribed radioleuncy may or may not around unerupted crown
- DDx: dentigerous cyst, radicular cyst, and residual cyst
- surgical finding may think this lesion is a cyst but upon microscopic evaluation is actually this
unicystic ameloblastoma
unilocular cystic lesion that may Hx be presented in 3 ways
unicystic ameloblastoma
luminal
intraluminal = plexiform
mural
what other ameloblastoma that can be present in plexiform but less common?
multicystic ameloblastoma
unicystic ameloblastoma
