“…13 These lesions encompass a heterogeneous group that is categorized from hamartomatous to benign and rare malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. 14 The molecular pathogenesis of odontogenic tumors remains unclear 15 and the assessment of cellular markers can lead to a better understanding of the biologic behavior of these lesions.…”

“…The renaming of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) as keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs) has been one of the most controversial changes in the nomenclature of odontogenic lesions in recent years. 17 This entity shows characteristics of both a cyst and a benign tumour and differs from other odontogenic cysts due to the appearance of mural growth with proliferation of the lining into the cancellous bone, instead of centripetal growth and expansion; thus, such lesions may reach a considerable size before the bony expansion becomes clinically apparent. Furthermore, the high recurrence rate suggests the aggressive …”

Odontogenic tumours are lesions that occur solely within the oral cavity and are so named because of their origin from the odontogenic (i.e. tooth-forming) apparatus. Odontogenic tumours comprise a variety of lesions ranging from non-neoplastic tissue proliferations to benign or malignant neoplasms. However, controversies exist regarding the pathogenesis, categorisation and clinical and histological variations of these tumours. The recent 2017 World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumours included new entities such as primordial odontogenic tumours, sclerosing odontogenic carcinomas and odontogenic carcinosarcomas, while eliminating several previously included entities like keratocystic odontogenic tumours and calcifying cystic odonogenic tumours. The aim of the present review article was to discuss controversies and recent concepts regarding odontogenic tumours so as to increase understanding of these lesions.

“…The diagnosis of ameloblastoma is supported by the demonstration that this tumor was not producing enamel matrix or tooth material. 12 Immunohistochemistry for smooth muscle actin n did not stain the neoplastic population; however, it did stain the surrounding vessels and myofibroblasts. In humans, this stain has been used as a marker for ameloblastic carcinoma versus ameloblastoma.…”

“…In humans, ameloblastomas compose 1% of head and neck tumors in the United States and Europe, and make up 11.7% of odontogenic tumors, with 80% of ameloblastomas occurring as mandibular tumors. 3,12 In veterinary species, odontogenic tumors have been documented extensively in dogs and less commonly in cats. 6,7 In nonmammalian species, ameloblastomas have been characterized in captive-reared Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha).…”

Ameloblastoma in a wild black rat snake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis)

Reports of neoplasia in captive reptiles are becoming more frequent; however, there is still scarce knowledge of the occurrence of neoplasia in wild reptiles. A wild black rat snake ( Pantherophis alleghaniensis) was presented to the Zoological Medicine service of the University of Georgia’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital with a 3 cm in diameter solid mandibular mass that was partially ulcerated. Radiographically, the mass was radiopaque with small bone spicules and partial osteolysis of the adjacent mandible. Histologic examination of the mass revealed a neoplasm composed of cuboidal to polygonal cells arranged in islands, anastomosing cords, and trabeculae of pseudostratified epithelium with a palisading peripheral layer of densely packed columnar cells with cytoplasmic clearing. The neoplastic tissue was separated from the mesenchyme by a prominent band of fine collagen. Neoplastic cells were positive for cytokeratin and negative for smooth muscle actin. Electron microscopy highlighted the presence of tonofilaments and microvilli. These findings led to the diagnosis of ameloblastoma, an odontogenic epithelial tumor known to occur in humans and most veterinary species.
