Malignant odontogenic tumors are exceedingly rare and arise from odontogenic epithelial residues and odontogenic cysts in the jaw bones. Odontogenic malignancies have various origins. Some develop directly from the remnants of odontogenic epithelium left after completion of dental development; others may result from malignant transformation of a benign odontogenic cyst or ameloblastoma. These lesions are usually locally aggressive with radical surgery being the primary mode of treatment. Because of their rarity, much of the existing information about malignant odontogenic tumors with regard to their origin, clinicopathological features, biological behavior, and therapeutics is derived from case reports or small series. The study represents one of the largest series of malignant odontogenic tumors compiled in a single institution.
