Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990 Dec;19(6):327-30. doi: 10.1016/s0901-5027(05)80073-6.

Abstract

Squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor affecting both jaws in all age groups. The tumor is composed of squamous epithelial islands surrounded by a mature connective tissue stroma. This tumor may occasionally be misdiagnosed as ameloblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, verrucous carcinoma and keratoacanthoma. A conservative surgical approach is the recommended treatment. An additional case is reported and the literature reviewed.
