Epithelial tumor arising in bone (arising from

odontogenic epithelium or cyst lining).
Intact
cortical
plate.
Radiographic
evidence of
bone
destruction.

Typical histologic
finding consistent
with
mucoepidermoid
tumor

More likely mimic a benign tumor or cyst .

Painless swelling > cause facial asymmetry.
Teeth have been moved.

Non-fitting denture.
Tenderness.
Paresthesia.
Spreading to regional lymph nodes.
Female (more).

LOCATION
3-4 times in mandible > maxilla (PM & M ).

Commonly above the mandibular canal.

PERIPHERY & SHAPE:

Uni/multilocular expansile mass.

Well defined & well corticated border.

Thick peripheral cortication.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE :
Similar to benign odontogenic tumor (recurrent
ameloblastoma).
Multilocular/soap bubble/honeycomb.
Amorphous sclerotic bone .

EFFECTS ON SURROUNDING STRUCTURE:

Expansion of adjacent cortical plates.

Perforation /extension into surrounding soft tissue.

Mandibular canal may be depressed or pushed
laterally/medially.
Lost of lamina dura .

Benign odontogenic tumor.

recurrent ameloblastoma.

odontogenic myxoma.
central giant cell granuloma (CGCG).

Surgery (en bloc resection).

Neck dissection & post operative radiation therapy

( to control the spread to lymph nodes ).

 Malignant ameloblastoma: Typical benign histologic features

+ malignant biologic behavior.
Ameloblastic carcinoma: malignant histologic Features +
malignant behavior.
Males (>59 yr)
hard expansile mass of the jaw + displaced/loosened teeth +
normal overlying mucosa.
Tenderness.
Metastatic.

Local extension.

LOCATION
Mandible > maxilla (PM & M).

PERIPHERY & SHAPE:

well-defined border (+cortication).
scalloped border.
in malignant ameloblastoma loss + breaching of
cortical boundary ~> invading into soft tissue.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE :
Unilocular/Multilocular (more common).
Honeycomb/soap bubble .
Robust & thick septa.

EFFECTS ON SURROUNDING STRUCTURE:

Teeth displacement.
Root resorption.
Breached bony borders.

Erode lamina dura.

Displace normal anatomic boundaries.
mandibular canal >> displaced // eroded.

 benign ameloblastoma.
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC).
odontogenic myxoma.
central mucoepidermoid tumor.
central giant cell granuloma ( CGCG).

En bloc surgical resection.

Secondary Malignancy.
New foci of malignant disease ( blood vessels).
Arise from sites that anatomically inferior to the
clavicle ( of jaw).

Carcinoma .
In children : neuroblastome ,retinoblastoma &
wilms tumor.

Twice in women > men.

40-69 years .
Breast metastases.

LOCATION
Posterior areas of the jaw.
Mandible ( bilateral ) > maxilla > maxillary sinus >anterior
hard palate > mandibular condyle.
PDL.
Papilla of developing tooth .

PERIPHERY & SHAPE:

Moderately well demarcated.

No cortication /no encapsulation of margins .

Ill-defined invasive margins.
Polymorphous in shape .

Sclerotic bone formation of the adjacent bone. ( prostate &

breast lesion ).
Enlarged jaw.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE :
Ragged Radiolucent.
Patchy sclerosis ( prostate & breast cancer).

Multi focal appearance with normal bone in between the foci .

General radiolucent appearance (similar to osteopenia).

EFFECTS ON SURROUNDING STRUCTURE:

Periosteal reaction (speculated pattern) >> prostate & neuroblastome.

Effect the lamina dura.

Irregular increase in PDL width.
Totally or partially destroyed crypt cortices .
Teeth seems to be floating in soft tissue mass. .

Altered position of the tooth .

Failure in healing of extraction socket ( or increase in size).
Teeth resorption (rare) .
Destructed cortical bone of adjacent structures.

Breaches the outer cortical plate of the jaw > extending in the
surrounding ST / intraoral mass.

Known primary malignancy.

Multiple myeloma.
Periapical inflammatory lesion.
Odontogenic cyst (2ry infected).

SCC
Metastatic tumor in the jaw ( poor prognosis).
Death in 1-2 years.
Chemotherapy / radiation therapy / surgery /
immunotherapy / hormone treatment.

 Osteogenic sarcoma.
Malignant neoplasm of bone.

chondroblastic

Unknown cause.
occur in association with: Paget's Disease / fibrous
dysplasia (after radiotherapy).

osteoblastic

Rare in jaw (7%).

Males (30- 39 yrs).
swelling (rapid), pain, tenderness, erythema, ulceration,
loose teeth, Epistaxis, hemorrhage, nasal obstruction,
exophthalmos, trismus & blindness.
Hypoesthesia ( neurovascular canals involvement).

fibroblastic

LOCATION
Mandible > maxilla(posterior).
Mandible: tooth-bearing region, angle, vertical ramus.
Maxilla: alveolar ridge, antrum, palate.

May cross the midline.

PERIPHERY & SHAPE:

ill-defined border.
periosteum involvement > (sunray spicules)/hair- on end
trabeculae).
Codmans triangle at the periosteum edge.
Laminar periosteal bone (rarely).
Soft tissue mass emanating from the bone.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE :
1. Radiolucent/Radiolucent-radiopaque/Radiopaque.

2. Granular(sclerotic bone)/Cotton balls/Wisps /honeycombed. +

destruction of the preexisting osseous architecture.
3. Lost of normal trabecular structure of the jaw.

EFFECTS ON SURROUNDING STRUCTURE:

Widening of PDL.
Maxillary lesion >> lost of antral/ nasal wall .

Mandibular lesion: destroy the cortex of the ID canal +

adjacent lamina dura.
ID canal may be symmetrically widened and enlarged.

 Fibrosarcoma.

metastatic carcinoma.
Chondrosarcoma.
prostate + breast metastases.

Ossifying fibroma .
fibrous dysplasia .
Ewing's sarcoma, solitary plasmacytoma, osteomyelitis.

Surgical resection (with large border of adjacent normal

bone).
Radiotherapy +chemotherapy.
