DEFINITIONS
NEOPLASM : A neoplasm as defined by Willis is “ An abnormal mass of
tissue, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the
normal tissues and persists in the same excessive manner after the cessation of
the stimuli which evoked the change. ”
BENIGN TUMOUR : Is a new growth, which is limited by a capsule and
grows by local expansion without causing any harm to the host, excepting
its position in a vital organ.
MALIGNANT TUMOUR : Is a new growth which is characterized by rapid
growth, sign of invasion, absence of capsule and last of all dissemination to
other parts of the body usually by hematogenous or lymphatic route or
both.
FEATURES OF BENIGN TUMOR

AMELOBLASTOMA
WHO Definition -
• Ameloblastoma is a polymorphic neoplasm consisting of proliferating odontogenic
epithelium which usually has a follicular or
plexiform pattern lying in a fibrous stroma
Reichart and Slootweg Definition
• Ameloblastoma is a polymorphous neoplasm consisting of proliferating odontogeni
c epithelium usually occurring in follicular or
plexiform patterns embedded in mature connective tissue stroma.
As stated by Robinson,
Ameloblastoma is usually unicentric, non-functional, intermittent in growth,
anatomically benign and clinically persistent.

 Good response to chemotherapy, particularly cyclophosphamide.
 The tumor also has been shown to be sensitive to methotrexate, vincristine, and
cytarabine.
 Combinations of drugs have achieved remissions in more than 90% of patients.
Unfortunately, most of the cases recur and patients ultimately succumb to the
disease.
 Recent clinical trials with intensive, multiagent chemotherapeutic protocols have
shown a fair remission rate.
 Individuals who do not receive treatment are not likely to survive longer than 3 to
6 months.

MALIGNANT TUMOUR : Is a new growth which is characterized by rapid growth, sign of invasion, absence of capsule and last of all dissemination to other parts of the body usually by hematogenous or lymphatic route or both.

  • 100. Osteosarcoma  Osteosarcoma - Two types  An osteoblastic (sclerosing) and  An osteolytic type.  Gender : Males > Females  Age - 33 years (Mean)  Location : Mandible > Maxilla  Arise due to –  Radiation induced  Trauma
  • 101. Clinical Features  Pain, swelling, paraesthesia and ulceration.  Affected teeth may be loosened and displaced  Age- 4th & 5th decade  M : F - 1.1 : 1
  • 102. Radiographic Features  Earliest radiographic sign - widening of the periodontal ligament space or a radiolucency around one or more teeth.  Later on, the lesion assumes an osteolytic radiolucent form, an osteoblastic radiopaque form or a mixed radiolucent image with radiopaque foci.  Ill-defined borders.  Expansion and destruction of the cortical plates.  Characteristic sunray , sunburst or fan-shaped appearance - thin spicules of new bone extend outwards away from the bone cortex.

  • 103. TREATMENT  The cornerstone of primary jaw osteosarcoma treatment is adequate surgical resection.  Radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used in association with surgical resection or alone as a palliative treatment in advanced cases.  Literature review has shown that patients treated initially by aggressive local or even radical procedures such as hemimandibulectomy fared better.  Introduction of multi-agent chemotherapy has improved the survival rates, with 60-70% patients surviving after treatment.
  • 104. CHONDROSARCOMA  Malignant tumor of cartilaginous tissue  Age : 3rd to 5th decade.  Gender : Males > females.  Painless swelling leading to the expansion of the buccal and lingual cortical plates  Regional lymphadenopathy is very rare  Jaw lesions are rare.  The teeth adjacent to the lesion may be resorbed, loosened, or exfoliated.

  • 105.  Single/ multiple radiolucencies with poorly defined borders  Moth-eaten radiolucencies to diffusely opaque lesions.  Localized widening of the periodontal ligament space may be observed.  In some cases, a sunray appearance may be seen.
  • 106. TREATMENT  Wide surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment for  These tumors are radioresistant and chemotherapy can be used as an adjuvant therapy after wide surgical excision is made  Prognosis is poor.  Local recurrence occurs and may indicate subsequent metastasis; hence adequate treatment and long-term follow-up, including periodic systemic evaluation, are required.
  • 107. EWING’S SARCOMA  Malignant tumor of bone derived from mesenchymal connective tissue of the bone marrow.  Rarely occurs in the jaws  Rapidly growing, highly invasive tumor  Pain and swelling are the most common manifestations.  Age : Children ; young adults  Gender : M : F = 2 : 1
  • 108.  The radiographic appearance is that of an ill-defined destructive radiolucent lesion which may be unilocular or multilocular.  Stimulates the periosteum to produce thin layers of bone, resulting in an "onion skin" effect.  Advanced cases may exhibit a sunburst appearance.
  • 109.  Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery, has led to an improvement in prognosis.  Poor prognostic factors are patients below 10 years of age, presence of metastasis, presence of systemic symptoms, large tumor volume.  ES of the mandible has got better prognosis than long bones since facial sites are diagnosed earlier.

  • 110. BURKITT'S LYMPHOMA  Characteristic form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is endemic in Africa and occurs sporadically in North America.  The Epstein-Barr virus has been implicated in the etiology.  Age : Peak : 5 years  Primarily a tumor of childhood, with occasional cases seen in young adults.  Location : Maxilla > Mandible.  Gender : M : F = 2 : 1 Vasudevan V, Mohandas U, Manjunath V. Burkitt's lymphoma in leukemic phase in an Indian boy. Indian J Dent Res 2011;22:340-4
  • 111.  Clinical features –  Loosening of teeth  Bilateral jaw tenderness  Swollen gingiva  Cervical lymphadenopathy  Radiographic features  Ill defined radiolucency extending into tooth crypt  Displacement of developing and erupting teeth  Floating in air appearance  Sunray spicules
  • 112. TREATMENT  Good response to chemotherapy, particularly cyclophosphamide.  The tumor also has been shown to be sensitive to methotrexate, vincristine, and cytarabine.  Combinations of drugs have achieved remissions in more than 90% of patients. Unfortunately, most of the cases recur and patients ultimately succumb to the disease.  Recent clinical trials with intensive, multiagent chemotherapeutic protocols have shown a fair remission rate.  Individuals who do not receive treatment are not likely to survive longer than 3 to 6 months.

Editor's Notes

  • #12: Significant of all OT – high incidence, clinical behavior & high recurrences
  • #16: Amelogenin gene –Tsujigiwa et al (2005, Oral Oncology)
  • #19: Septae are usually coarse and curved, may be remodelled. Numerous small locules. Also seen are a few larger ones. Root resorption & displacement On a tangential view – margin of the lesion meets the buccal cortex – acute angle – tumor like manner of expansion Unilocular
  • #20: This resembles a dentigerous cyst – varied thickness of expansion of buccal cortex – more in favor of a tumor
  • #23: Coronal CT in a bone window – expansile lesion of the rt ramus of mandible – thinning & perforation in areas
  • #25: MRI – correlates well with histopathology – can diff solid & cystic areas (better than CT). Varied high to low signal intensity on MRI On a T2WI mr – hetrogenous high signal intensity noted in the body of mand. An area of very high signal intensity – cystic areas On a Gd – T1WI mr – enhancement of the lesion (indicating solid nature of lesion) also there is an area of low signal intensty with no enhancement – cystic space.
  • #28: Currently, t here is general agreement that the PA and t he BCC are es­sentially the same lesion and thus should be regarded as a single entity
  • #33: Shows mixed radiolucent-radiopaque appearance similar to fibro-osseous lesions
  • #35: Aneurysmal bone cyst Tooth displacement > tooth resorption. Fluid levels – CT. < 20yrs, Female Unilocular, multilocular (thin wispy trabeculae). Rapid growth & expansion Displacement of tooth. Multiplanar root resorption
  • #51: Hamartomatous proliferation. Maxillary incisor-canine and mandibular molar. Tooth mobility common complaint Radiology – triangular, localized radiolucency between contiguous teeth. Histology – oval nest of squamous epithelium in mature collagen stroma Treatment – extraction of involved tooth and thorough curettage; maxillary – more extensive resection; recurrences – treat with aggressive resection
  • #56: This fibroma is often associated with an impacted tooth.
  • #57: No root resorption, no hydraulic effect
  • #60: Thus radiographically, it appears as a combined radiolucent/radiopaque lesion and must be differentiated from other similar-appearing lesions such as the ossifying fibroma, the calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, the calcifying odontogenic cyst, an odontoma, and an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.
  • #61: washer like appearance
  • #65: Mild expansion- odontome Large expansion- cystic odontome or ameloblastic odontome
  • #66: 48% unerupted tooth
  • #71: Tennis racket- osteoporotic Sun burst- break out
  • #87: Among all the reviewed cases, 27% presented at first histopathologic Diagnosis as a follicular Or Plexiform Ameloblastoma And Secondarily as an ameloblastic carcinoma
  • #92: Bays within bays- margins with large eroded areas within which smaller areas of bone destruction are present
  • #100: The degree of malignancy of the mesenchymal component is decided by the cellularity, palisading pattern and cellular atypia (mitosis, shape and size).
  • #102:  Osteosarcoma of jaw bones have some distinct features such as older age at presentation, longer median survival, rare metastases and local recurrences difficult to control, typically leading to death of the patients
