A Rare Occurrence of an Intraosseus Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Association with Squamous Odontogenic Tumor of Mandible

Abstract

Introduction Squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) reported for the first time by Pullon et al in 1975was described and classified as a distinct pathological entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1992 [1]. A rare benign neoplasm, it can locally infiltrate and extend to neighboring structures such as the maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity. Clinically it presents itself as an asymptomatic swelling in the alveolar process, with most cases being accidentally reported on routine dental radiographs [2].
