Abstract
A 76-year-old female presented at University hospital of Crete with a large painless mass (d<10 cm) of the left maxilla. The cytologic diagnosis in FNAB smears was of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the maxilla that was confirmed histologically. The fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in conjunction with immunocytochemistry can distinguish between benign and malignant lymphoid infiltrates and support a diagnosis of extra-nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively rare benign tumor, accounting for 2% to 7% of odontogenic tumors. AOT is generally found in the incisor region of the maxilla of young women. It is often misdiagnosed as a dentigerous cyst. We report a case of AOT during pregnancy. The patient was a 21-year-old Philippine woman who complained of a swelling in the right maxillary gingival; the swelling rapidly enlarged during pregnancy. We enucleated the tumor and the impacted canine, with the patient under general anesthesia. Histological examination revealed a pseudoglandular structure with odontogenic appearance. On the basis of these findings and the World health organization (WHO) classification, we diagnosed the tumor as an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. The tumor cells were identified by an immunohistochemically positive reaction for Bcl-2 and estrogen receptor. The MIB-1 labeling index was less than 1%. There has been no sign of recurrence as of 1.5 years after the operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of the distinct free flaps in reconstruction of different types of maxillectomy defects. METHODS A retrospective reviews was performed of in 66 consecutive cases of reconstructions with free flaps for maxillary tumor ablation defects from October 1997 to June 2010. There were 43 patients who had recurrences after previous operations and 46 patients had accepted radiation therapy before. According to the classification of Brown's maxilla defect:10 cases were in class I, 13 in class II, 23 in class III and 20 in class IV. The reconstructive free flaps included 26 fibula flaps, 10 radial forearm flaps, 7 latissimus dorsi flaps, 7 rectus abdominis flaps, 7 anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, 5 deep inferior epigastric artery perforators, 2 latissimus dorsi/rib flaps and 2 iliac crest flaps. Postoperative features and functions were assessed in 29 patients. RESULTS The overall free flap success rate was 93.9% (62/66). Three rectus abdominis flaps and one fibula flap failed. There were 29 patients who received postoperative function assessment. Sixty-two percent of the patients restored to taking regular diets, 24 (82.8%) patients had normal language communication ability, and 25 (86.2%) patients were satisfied with their feature. CONCLUSIONS Radial forearm flap was recommended to reconstruct the class 1 defect, fibula flap to class 2 or class 3 and preformatted flap to class 4.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the relative prevalence of odontogenic tumors in Sri Lanka and compare it with prevalences reported for other countries. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 226 cases of odontogenic tumors reported by the Department of Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya between 1996 and 2002, were analyzed. RESULTS The most prevalent tumor was ameloblastoma (69.8%); odontoma was the fourth most prevalent (4.5%). No gender predilection was seen, but the tumors occurred most frequently in the second to fifth decades of life (77.4%) and most commonly in the mandible (79.6%). CONCLUSIONS The comparative data with statistically significant differences suggest a geographical difference in the relative prevalence of ameloblastoma among various continents. It is suggested that ameloblastoma most frequently occurs in the mandible (the posterior region) in all Asian, African, and South American countries.

Abstract
A total of 1642 odontogenic tumour cases retrieved from the files of the College of Stomatology, Sichuan University, China were retrospectively analyzed for gender, age, tumour site and relative frequency of various types, and the data compared with that of previous reports. The final diagnosis in each case was based on the WHO 2005 histopathological classification of odontogenic tumours. Of these tumours 1592 (97.0%) were benign and 50 (3.0%) were malignant. Ameloblastoma (40.3%) was the most frequent type, followed by keratocystic odontogenic tumour (35.8%), odontoma (4.7%) and odontogenic myxoma (4.6%). The mean age of the patients was 32.1, with a wide range (3-84 years). The male-female ratio and maxilla-mandible ratio were 1.4:1 and 1:4.0, respectively. Ameloblastoma and keratocystic odontogenic tumours, important indications of extensive surgical procedures, are not considered rare in this Chinese population, whereas odontoma is uncommon.

Abstract
Regarding the 2004 actualization of the classification of benign odontogenic tumours published by IARC and WHO, we have reviewed our files in order to explain the new parameters established in this actualization. Histologically tree groups can be considered depending on the tissue involved: a) odontogenic epithelium with mature fibrous stroma without odontogenic ectomesenchyme, b) odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without tissue formation, and c) mesenchyme and/or odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without odontogenic epithelium. Every tumour appears with clinical features, radiographical and specific epidemiology data to complete the cases, in adittion to recurrences and appropriate surgical resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether there were any significant differences in the mode of presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients presenting with a primary diagnosis of ameloblastoma in Glasgow, Scotland and San Francisco, CA. MATERIALS AND METHODS All cases of ameloblastoma seen in both institutions between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1999 were included in this study. Mode of presentation, radiographic appearance, histologic appearance, treatment, and follow-up were recorded. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the clinical features on presentation (swelling, followed by pain, and altered sensation), the radiographic appearance (unilocular approximately 30% and multilocular 70%), or management with either local treatment (enucleation and/or curettage in just over 50% of cases) or radical treatment (a form of resection in under 50%) in the 50 cases included in this study. Primary care by conservative treatment led to a recurrence in approximately 80% of cases and this included cases of unicystic ameloblastoma. CONCLUSION The mode of presentation, diagnosis, and management of the ameloblastoma was remarkably similar in Glasgow and San Francisco. The recurrence rate following local enucleation and curettage was unacceptably high, and this included the cases of unicystic ameloblastoma, which should be treated more aggressively than has been recommended in the past.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions constitute a group of lesions, which range in biologic behavior from true neoplasms to hamartomas. The aim of this study was to elucidate the nature and interrelationship of this group of lesions. METHODS Clinical and pathological studies were undertaken retrospectively on 13 cases of AF and seven cases of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO). Thirty-three complex odontomas and 33 compound odontomas were also included for comparative purpose. Relevant follow-up data were recorded and the literature was reviewed. RESULTS The majority of patients with AF (nine cases, 69.2%) were over the age of 22 years with frequent involvement (76.9%) of the posterior mandible. Tumors recurred in four of 11 patients with follow-up information and two recurrent tumors showed malignant transformation. There was no case in this series that could be designated as the so-called ameloblastic fibrodentinoma, apart from one recurrent AF in which further maturation to form only tubular dentin materials was identified. AFO tended to occur at a younger age group with an average of 9.6 years. Recurrence was noted in two of five patients with follow-up data and both recurrent lesions showed limited growth potential and further maturation into a complex odontoma. Significant differences were noted in the age and site distribution between the complex and the compound odontomas. CONCLUSION Whilst the majority, if not all, of AFs are true neoplasms with a potential to recur and/or of malignant transformation, some, especially those occurred during childhood, could represent the primitive stage of a developing odontoma. Our data also suggests that some AFOs are hamartomatous in nature, representing a stage preceding the complex odontoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze 318 odontogenic tumors seen at a tertiary oral care center in Kaduna, Nigeria for comparison with findings in previous Nigerian and world records. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective survey of odontogenic tumors based on the classification of Kramer et al was undertaken at the Maxillofacial Unit, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Kaduna, Nigeria, from all histopathologically proven cases of tumors and tumor-like lesions of the oral and perioral structures. Data were retrieved from case notes, radiographs, histopathology results, and follow-up records. Information collected were used to complete a questionnaire and subjected to analysis. RESULTS There were 990 tumor and tumor-like lesions of the oral and perioral structures, of which 318 were odontogenic tumors (32%). Twelve histopathologic types of odontogenic tumors were found with more benign (n=314; 99%) than malignant (n=4; 1%). Ameloblastoma made up 233 (73%) of the tumors, followed by odontogenic myxoma (n=38; 12%), ameloblastic fibroma (n=9; 3%), and the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (2%). Three cases of calcifying odontogenic cyst were co-existent with ameloblastoma (2) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (1). Among 275 surgically treated odontogenic tumors, enucleation was performed in 64 cases (23%), dentoalveolar segment resection with preservation of lower border of the mandible (n=33; 12%), segmental resection (n=168; 61%), and composite resection (n=9; 3%); 1 case was deemed inoperable. At least 8 cases of ameloblastoma (13%) recurred out of 60 followed up. CONCLUSION Ameloblastoma is a fairly common tumor of Nigerian Africans accounting for 73% of odontogenic tumors and 24% of all tumors and tumor-like lesions of the oral and perioral structures. Various forms of resection are practiced to eradicate the tumor in view of the late presentation in our environment. Patients in Nigeria do not often return for follow-up reviews. A minimum of 5 years of follow-up reviews are necessary after treatment of ameloblastoma.

Abstract
When the current T classification of the UICC (1987 and 1997) is used to stage carcinomas arising the upper alveolus and gingival and hard palate, most cases are classified as T4 because of their anatomic characteristics, similar to carcinomas arising in the lower alveolus and gingiva. This study compared the following two methods for classifying the T stage of maxillary carcinomas: (1) the original T classification criteria proposed by the UICC (1987 and 1997), and (2) a new T classification criteria, called the sinus and nasal floor (SNF) criteria. We found that the SNF criteria were more closely related to tumor control and survival than were the UICC criteria in patients with carcinomas arising in the upper alveolus and gingival and hard palate. Increased use of the SNF criteria is expected to improve staging of gingival tumors arising in the maxilla and increase the accuracy of diagnosis, especially of T4 tumors.

Abstract
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behaviour that dictates a more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. However, reliable evidence of its biologic activity is currently unavailable due to the scarcity of well-documented cases. It occurs primarily in the mandible in a wide range of age groups; no sex or race predilection has been noted. It may present as a cystic lesion with benign clinical features or as a large tissue mass with ulceration, significant bone resorption and tooth mobility. Because the lesion is usually found unexpectedly after an incisional biopsy or the removal of a cyst, a guide to differential diagnosis is not usually useful. The identifying features of ameloblastic carcinoma must be known and recognized by dental practitioners. Our understanding of the histologic features of ameloblastic carcinoma is somewhat vague. The tumour cells resemble the cells seen in ameloblastoma, but they show cytologic atypia. Moreover, they lack the characteristic arrangement seen in ameloblastoma. The clinical course of ameloblastic carcinoma is typically aggressive, with extensive local destruction. Direct extension of the tumour, lymph node involvement and metastasis to various sites (frequently the lung) have been reported. Wide local excision is the treatment of choice. Regional lymph node dissection should be considered and performed selectively. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy seem to be of limited value for the treatment of ameloblastic carcinomas. At the moment, there are too few reported cases to make a definite recommendation regarding treatment. Close periodic reassessment of the patient is mandatory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the factors that affect the curative effect and the best method of treatment for the patients with maxillofacial cavernous hemangiomas. METHODS 102 cases of maxillofacial cavernous hemangiomas were performed DSA examination and taken serial photography. According to the diameter, number and draining speed of efferent veins of the tumor, the cavernous hemangiomas were classified into two types-the high efferent speed and low efferent speed type. For all of them, were randomly performed embolization of efferent veins with absolute ethanol plus bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection (group I) and bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection alone (group II). RESULTS The cure rate and general effective rate has significant difference (P < 0.01) between two groups in 70 patients with high efferent speed veins, while no significant difference (P > 0.05) in 32 patients with low efferent speed veins. CONCLUSIONS This new classification is beneficial for seeking method of treatment. The embolization of efferent veins is an effective method for cavernous hemangioma with high efferent speed veins; but for the type with low efferent speed veins, bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection alone could acquire a good results.

Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC) is an uncommon developmental odontogenic cyst and was first described by Gorlin in 1962. It is considered as extremely rare and accounts for only 1% of the jaw cysts reported. Here, we present two cases of which one occurred in a 32 year old female with a swelling in the lower anterior region crossing the midline and another in a 29 year old male with a swelling in the upper anterior region without crossing the midline. The radiograph revealed a well circumscribed radiolucency in the first case and with some specks of opacities in the second case. It was not associated with any missing or impacted tooth. Histopathological examination was done with Hematoxylin and Eosin and in addition it was studied immunohistochemically for cytokeratin. The Classical histological features of lining epithelium in the form of cords, presence of ghost cells and some amount of dentinoid tissue were seen. The nature of COC is controversial. Here we have discussed the controversies regarding COC as well as the various proposed classifications for this lesion. Based on the histopathological findings, the diagnosis was confirmed as calcifying odontogenic cyst. These cases are presented here for its rarity.

Abstract
The clinical symptoms of odontogenic tumors are non-specific. On the roentgenographs one most often sees radiolucencies within the bone, sometimes in combination with scattered or diffuse radioopacities. Root resorptions may be another important feature. After a short historical introduction on the development of today's classification of odontogenic tumors (WHO), each individual type of neoplasm is discussed briefly. Out of this, a therapeutic regime is developed that places each of the 22 entities into one of the following four groups: malignant, locally aggressive, tumors with recurrences, and non-recurrent ones.

Abstract
Within this chapter, tumors which produce bone matrix (osteoid) or other bone-forming tissues, like cartilage, connective tissue, and cementum or originate within the bone marrow are described. In addition, those lesions are mentioned which, according to the WHO, are typical for the jawbones and are therefore included within the 1992 WHO classification of odontogenic tumors. Vascular and epithelial tumors which may also be observed in the jaws are not described. All the lesions and tumors reported have in common a more or less similar clinical and radiological appearance. A precise diagnosis, therefore, can only be established by a sufficient biopsy which should be seen by a pathologist with experience in this field. In addition to clinical, radiological, and histological appearances, therapeutic necessities are described. The data from recent publications are taken into account. This presentation is based on the data collected within the reference registry of the German-Austrian-Swiss Study Group of Tumors of the Face and Jaws (DOSAK) in Basel.

Abstract
Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is an unusual subtype of ameloblastoma characterized by pronounced desmoplastic stroma. There is, however, still argument whether DA is a distinct clinicopathologic entity. To enhance knowledge of DA, 7 cases of DA (7.9%) were retrieved from 89 ameloblastomas field in the Department of Oral Pathology, Hiroshima University School of Dentistry and analyzed clinicopathologically and histopathologically. The mean age of the patients with DA and non-DA at the time of the diagnosis was 40.6 +/- 5.9 years and 33.1 +/- 2.0 years, respectively. The male-to-female ratio was 2.5:1 in DA and 1.8:1 in non-DA. Four (57%) DAs were located in the maxilla where only 6% of the non-DA occurred. Interestingly, all DAs arose in the anterior/premolar area of the jaws and 6 cases were located mainly within the alveolus. None of the DA showed typical radiographic features of ameloblastoma. In 5 DAs, scattered radiopacities were observed in the radiolucent lesion and gave preoperative diagnoses of non-ameloblastomatous lesions or even osteosarcoma. All DAs showed pronounced desmoplastic stroma where there were compressed tumor islands usually lacking a peripheral layer of ameloblastic cells and a central zone of stellate reticulum. There was cystic change within the epithelial nests in 3 DAs and true glandular structures with mucus cells in a case of DA. Tumor islands often infiltrated into marrow spaces of surrounding bone. There was no capsule formation. Recurrence rate was 14% in DA and 20% in non-DA. The present study based on data of DA in the Japanese population supports that DA must be considered as a distinct clinicopathologic entity.

Abstract
Maxillary ameloblastoma is a different entity from its mandibular counterpart. It is reported to behave more aggressively and have a poorer prognosis. Eleven maxillary ameloblastomas (three recurrent) are reported with a follow-up ranging from 1 month to 12 years with no recurrences. It is proposed that radical treatment of these tumours, with good reconstruction, can give satisfactory function and survival. To that end, the tumours have been classified as to their position in the maxilla and surgical resection related to this.

Abstract
A large diversity of lesions may involve the maxillofacial bones. Some occur exclusively at this site. Other lesions at this location have features that are different from similar lesions occurring elsewhere in the skeleton. This site-dependent morphology applies especially to fibro-osseous lesions, which will be discussed in this report. Fibrous dysplasia shows evenly distributed islands of woven bone that fuse with surrounding bone. The presence of lamellar bone and osteoblastic rimming does not contradict that diagnosis as they would for lesions occurring outside the maxillofacial bones. Ossifying fibromas are demarcated or encapsulated. They show a broad variation in mineralized material that may be woven bone as well as lamellar bone or may be present as rounded cell-poor particles regarded as a form of cementum. Specific subtypes are juvenile ossifying fibroma and psammomatoid ossifying fibroma, both of which contain cellular stroma exhibiting mitotic activity. Lesions known as periapical cemental dysplasia can be found in the tooth-bearing jaw area and are similar to ossifying fibroma but without demarcation. These lesions may be focal, involving one or a few adjacent teeth; when they are more widely distributed, they are named florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. Periapical cemental dysplasia should be distinguished from cementoblastoma, a lesion similar to osteoblastoma but connected with tooth apices. Ossifying fibroma may resemble well-differentiated osteosarcoma as ossifying fibroma may be more cellular and may have a higher number of mitoses than osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Very few cases of gigantiform cementoma have been reported, and those associated with a positive family history are especially rare. Confusion exists about the relationship of gigantiform cementoma to florid osseous dysplasia, cementifying fibroma, and diffuse chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis. It has been unclear whether gigantiform cementoma should be accorded the status of a separate entity. In this article, we report our findings on a family that, over five generations, has exhibited clinical, radiographic, and/or histologic findings consistent with the designation familial gigantiform cementoma. This pedigree consists of 55 members. Significant heterogeneity in expression of this trait was noted. The pattern of occurrence of the trait is consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with variable expressivity of the phenotype. We suggest that familial gigantiform cementoma should be recognized as a separate entity.

Two examples of central odontogenic fibroma, WHO type, are reported. The radiographic and microscopic features are discussed and illustrated. Both were treated by curettage, and neither has recurred after 10 and 9 years, respectively. We postulate an ectomesenchymal-epithelial interaction in the histogenesis of this unusual tumor.

Abstract
Prior to the opening of the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery of the District Hospital at Franfort-on-the-Oder, important groups of diseases belonging to this speciality were studied epidemiologically on the district level to obtain a maximum of information of the future tasks. From the viewpoints of detection, prevention, diagnosis and therapy, the epidemiology of notifiable tumours in the maxillofacial region was of paramount interest in a district without university and clinic specialized in maxillofacial surgery. The results obtained were used in various ways in preparing the opening of our special clinic.
