The odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor arising from embryonic connective tissue associated with tooth formation. [1] As a myxoma , this tumor consists mainly of spindle shaped cells and scattered collagen fibers distributed through a loose, mucoid material.
Central giant-cell granuloma (CGCG) is a localised benign condition of the jaws.It is twice as common in females and is more likely to occur before age 30. Central giant-cell granulomas are more common in the anterior mandible, often crossing the midline and causing painless swellings.
Atrial myxoma. This tumoral phenotype is shared by many tumoral entities: Myxomas. Atrial myxoma; Odontogenic myxoma; Cutaneous myxoma; Intramuscular myxoma; Myxoid hamartoma; Aggressive angiomyxoma; Myxoid leiomyoma; Chondromyxoid fibroma; Myxoid neurofibroma; Nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma) Myxolipoma; Angiomyofibroblastoma; Myxoid ...
Myxoma is a rare, benign stromal tumor of mesenchymal origin often confused with other conjunctival stromal tumors. Conjunctival myxomas are thought to originate in Tenon's capsule and can masquerade as conjunctival lymphoma , lymphangioma , ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), or amelanotic melanoma .
An odontogenic tumor is a neoplasm of the cells or tissues that initiate odontogenic processes. Examples include: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor; Ameloblastic fibroma; Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma; Ameloblastoma, a type of odontogenic tumor involving ameloblasts; Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma; Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor; Calcifying ...
Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign or cancerous tumor of odontogenic epithelium (ameloblasts, or outside portion, of the teeth during development) much more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than the upper jaw. [1] It was recognized in 1827 by Cusack. [2]
Calcifying odontogenic cyst; a rare lesion with cystic and neoplastic features and significant diversity in presentation, histology and prognosis; Glandular odontogenic cyst; cyst with respiratory like epithelial lining and the potential for recurrence with characteristics similar to a central variant of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Odontomas are thought to be the second most frequent type of odontogenic tumor worldwide (after ameloblastoma), accounting for about 20% of all cases within this relatively uncommon tumor category which shows large geographic variations in incidence. According to the same article discussion, statistics might appear misleading as most of the ...
