Peripheral squamous odontogenic tumour.
Abstract
Squamous odontogenic tumour (SOT) is a rare, benign epithelial tumour of odontogenic origin. A recurrent case of SOT with peripheral occurrence is described. In 1971, a tumour from the anterior maxillary palatal mucosa of an 11-year-old female was excised. In 1984, when the patient was 24 years old, a recurrent tumour was found in the same area. The histopathological appearance of the lesion, which was found to be identical with the primary tumour, was that of an SOT. Both the clinical and radiographic features supported the extra-osseous involvement of both tumours. The SOT is further evaluated and its origin is discussed.
