Abstract

Introduction: Malignant odontogenic tumors (MOTs) are uncommon primary jaw lesions that represent approximately 6% of all odontogenic tumors. The rarity and complex classification reported for MOTs have also created challenges in their study over the years. Patients and Methods: All patients with a histopathological diagnosis of odontogenic tumor from 2003 to 2017 formed the study population. Their departmental and medical records were analyzed. Results: A total of 15 MOTs patients were studied. There were 10 males and five females with a M:F ratio of 1.6:1, and the ages ranged from 17 to 80 years with a mean of 48.06 years. The sites were the mandible and maxilla. The mandible to maxilla ratio was 2.25 to 1. Conclusion: Ameloblastic carcinoma was the most common MOT.
