An odontogenic tumor is a neoplasm of the cells or tissues that initiate
odontogenic processes.
Examples include:
*
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is an odontogenic tumor arising from the enamel organ or dental lamina.
Signs and symptoms
Two thirds of cases are located in the anterior maxilla, and one third are present in the anterior mandible.
Two thirds o ...

Ameloblastic fibroma An ameloblastic fibroma is a fibroma of the ameloblastic tissue, that is, an odontogenic tumor arising from the enamel organ or dental lamina. It may be either truly neoplastic or merely hamartomatous (an odontoma). In neoplastic cases, it may be la ...

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is essentially a benign tumor with the features characteristic of ameloblastic fibroma along with enamel and dentin (hard tissues). Though it is generally regarded as benign, there have been cases of its malig ...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as a Pindborg tumor, is an odontogenic tumor first recognized by the Danish pathologist Jens Jørgen Pindborg in 1955. It was previously described as an ''adenoid adamantoblastoma'', '' ...

Odontogenic keratocyst
An odontogenic keratocyst is a rare and benign but locally aggressive developmental cyst. It most often affects the posterior mandible and most commonly presents in the third decade of life. Odontogenic keratocysts make up around 19% of jaw cysts. ...

Odontogenic myxoma
The odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor arising from embryonic connective tissue associated with tooth formation.Sapp, J. Philip., Lewis R. Eversole, and George P. Wysocki. Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. 2nd ...

Odontoma
An odontoma, also known as an odontome, is a benign tumour linked to tooth development. Specifically, it is a dental hamartoma, meaning that it is composed of normal dental tissue that has grown in an irregular way. It includes both odontogenic h ...
