Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract:Odontogenic tumors represent a heterogeneous group of rare lesions accounting for about 1% of all jaw tumors. This work was carried out in order to evaluate the demographic and the histopathological characteristics of these tumors in Hassan II University Hospital, Fez, Morocco. This is a retrospective study including all cases of odontogenic tumors histologically diagnosed during a period of 10 years (2007-2016), in the department of pathology, Hassan II University Hospital, Fez, Morocco. Different demographic and histopathological characteristics have been analysed. A total of 31 odontogenic tumors were recorded. We noted a male predominance with a sex -ratio of 1.81. Mean age was 39.7 years (range, 7–87 years). The mandibular location was predominant with a maxillary/ mandibular ratio of 1: 1.21. Except one case of malignant odontogenic tumor, all other cases were benign. Ameloblastoma was the most common type (64.5%), followed by odontogenicmyxoma/fibromyxoma and cementoma. In this series, odontogenic tumors have similarities and differences with those of previous series. We noted a male predominance, a more advanced age at diagnosis, and predominance of mandibular location and of ameloblastoma.
