This study reports the tenth documented case of a rare primordial odontogenic tumor in a young Egyptian boy. Surgical excision and follow-up confirmed no recurrence, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Primordial odontogenic tumor (POT) is a rare mixed odontogenic neoplasm.
- It is characterized by dental papilla-like and enamel organ-like tissues.
- Only nine cases have been previously reported globally.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the tenth case of POT worldwide.
- To describe the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of this rare tumor.
- To emphasize the importance of differentiating POT from similar odontogenic tumors.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a 2-year-old Egyptian male with mandibular swelling.
- Diagnostic imaging including Computerized Tomography (CT) scan.
- Surgical excision and histopathological examination of the lesion.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with an asymptomatic mandibular swelling and multilocular radiolucency.
- CT scan revealed an impacted developing tooth associated with the lesion.
- Histopathological diagnosis confirmed primordial odontogenic tumor.
- The patient experienced no recurrence after two years of follow-up.
Conclusions:
- Accurate histopathological differentiation of POT is critical.
- Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary aggressive treatments.
- This case adds to the limited global data on POT and its management.
