“…While odontoma was the most commonly reported odontogenic tumor in America and Europe, ameloblastoma appears to be more prevalent in Asian and African nations. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] With a prevalence of 9.44%, odontogenic myxoma was the second most prevalent odontogenic tumor in the study we conducted. The documented prevalence of odontogenic myxoma in children differs from 1.2% to 39%.…”

“…6 Except for a few studies that utilized the 2017 classification [7][8][9] , the majority of papers reported after 2005 employed the 2005 WHO categorization. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] A publication was reported that used the WHO categorization of head and neck tumors from 2022 to report benign pediatric jaw lesions in 2023. 17 There are not enough studies that focus on the occurrence of odontogenic tumors in children and adolescents in Bangladesh.…”

Introduction: This study presents the oral and maxillofacial pathological features of several types of odontogenic tumors in children and adolescents less than 18 years of age from a Bangladeshi tertiary-level healthcare facility. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, the World Health Organization (WHO) categorization for head and neck tumors in 2022 was used to assess the frequency of odontogenic tumors in children and adolescents. Data relating to sex, age, and tumor site were retrieved and presented. The Chi-square test was implemented to study the association between gender, age, and site with different types of odontogenic tumors. Results: A total of 106 cases were found, and all the cases were benign. Ameloblatoma (75.47%) was the most common tumor, followed by odontogenic myxoma (9.44%), cemento-ossifying fibroma (5.66%), and odontoma (4.72%). A male (60.38%) predominance was observed in the gender distribution, but no statistically noteworthy (P = 0.43) relationship was found. Most of the cases were found in the 13–18 age group (63.21%), with a mean age (standard deviation) of 13.01 (2.29) years. There was no statistical significance found between age group and tumor type (P = 0.78). The mandibular (95.28%) predominance was found over the maxilla (4.72%) (Mandible: Maxilla = 20.2:1) and was statistically significant (P= 0.002). In the mandible, the posterior region (88.68%) was mostly affected. Conclusions: Early detection of odontogenic tumors is rare, and as people aged, they become more common. Ameloblatoma was the most prevalent odontogenic tumor in the jaws, followed by odontogenic myxoma, cemento-ossifying fibroma, and odontoma. Adolescents experience odontogenic tumors more frequently than children do. The mandible was observed to predominate over the maxilla in terms of site distribution. The mandible's posterior portion was primarily affected. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2024; 14(1):19-23

“…It presents with diverse radiological appearances including unilocular radiolucency, radiopacity, and mixed radiopacity/radiolucency, but a multilocular radiolucency showing a “soap bubble” appearance associated with the resorption of tooth roots is a characteristic hallmark [ 14 , 15 ]. Treatment of these tumors remains contentious due to their local invasive behavior, high rate of recurrence, and lack of consensus amongst the surgeons regarding the extent of resection in the adjacent apparent healthy tissues [ 12 , 13 , 16 ]. The therapeutic challenge is how to address the therapeutic failure with minimal morbidity and complications.…”

Background: Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a benign tumor of the jaws, which belongs to the group of fibro-osseous lesions, and exhibits slowly progressive growth leading to jaw expansion with well-defined borders. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological characteristics of OFs and their treatment. Materials and Methods: A 5-year retrospective study was done. The case notes of subjects were retrieved, analyzed, and evaluated. Relevant information about patients was categorized into bio-data, clinical, and radiological. The diagnosis of lesion was made histopathologically by the oral pathologist. Results: Forty- five patients' case notes were retrieved and analyzed and the patients' age ranged from 2 to 70 years (mean 29.4 ± 16.9). Majority of the patients (55.5%; P = 0.23) were 10–29 years. There were 16 (35.6%) males and 29 (64.4%) females giving a male: female ratio of 1:1.8 (P = 0.01). The cross-sectional dimension of the tumors measured vertically and horizontally ranges from 1 cm2 to 420 cm2 (mean = 54.7 cm2 ± 82.9). There were 60% in the maxilla and 40% in the mandible (P = 0.014). Most of the lesions (68.9%; P = 0.01) showed patchy opacity and cotton wool appearances. Majority of the lesions were extirpated by enucleation alone (P = 0.01). Conclusion: The prevalence of OF among the fibro-osseous lesions was 51.0% while against other benign lesions, it was 16.0%. In conclusion, contrary to most other reports across the globe, this lesion in southeast Nigeria occurred more frequently in the maxilla than mandible.
