Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma: report of 7 new cases and systematic review of the current knowledge

“…10,40,71 Based on our data and those from the literature, we are not able to define a typical radiographic feature that distinguishes CCOC from other osteolytic jaw lesions. 10,40,71 The the periphery of the tumor lobules. 72 Our patient sample had a predominance of biphasic tumors with fewer tumors of the ameloblastomatous type, in line with previous literature reports.…”

“…40 Most patients presented with painless, slow-growing progressive swelling over several months or years 46,55 in association with cortical resorption and soft tissue invasion. 63,71 Pain and tooth mobility occurred in approximately one-third of patients, whereas bleeding, paresthesia, and non-healing ulcerations were rare complaints. 55 The duration of such complaints was long and very similar to those of the current case series, with a mean of 47.62 AE 91.9 months and a range of 1 to 504 months.…”

“…38,40,[72][73][74][75][76] Subsequently, the studies reporting inconsistent histologic diagnosis or those from which the clinicopathologic data retrieval was difficult were excluded. [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][73][74][75][76] Data on sociodemographic characteristics, clinical features, treatment, follow-up, and outcomes were collected and plotted for each study. Ultimately, this review resulted in 87 well-documented cases of CCOC retrieved from 53 articles.…”

Management of Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma: A Case Report

“…2018;9(7):215-217 diolucency but occasionally they are mixed. The differential diagnosis is broad, so a careful approach is necessary both clinically and immunohistochemically [7]. The clinical and biological behaviors of CCOC are complicated by the different prognoses and mortality rates reported in the scientific literature.…”

Oral Cavity Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma

“…Alternatively, clear cell odontogenic carcinoma can present as a unilocular cystic lesion that mimics a benign odontogenic lesion, such as ameloblastoma [3]. Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma can potentially metastasize, particularly to the lungs and lymph nodes [4].…”
