Summary
A rare squamous odontogenic tumor in the mandible was surgically removed. This case highlights conservative surgical treatment for this benign jaw tumor.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Squamous odontogenic tumors (SOTs) are uncommon benign neoplasms originating from the} odontogenic epithelium.
- Mandibular SOTs require accurate diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent recurrence and complications.
Observation:
- A case report of a patient presenting with a suspected squamous odontogenic tumor in the mandible.
- Clinical and radiographic evaluation indicated a lesion requiring surgical intervention.
Findings:
- The tumor was successfully treated with conservative surgical removal.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of squamous odontogenic tumor.
Implications:
- Conservative surgical excision is a viable treatment option for mandibular SOTs.
- Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes in SOT cases.
