Surgical management of an aggressive multifocal squamous odontogenic tumor

Squamous odontogenic tumor is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaw. Most are solitary lesions, although rare multifocal lesions have been described. Maxillary lesions have more aggressive behavior. Because of their benign character, these lesions are usually treated using a conservative surgical approach with curettage and surgical enucleation. Here we present a case of a 29-year-old woman with multifocal lesions who was initially treated with conservative surgical therapy. Early recurrence 6-months post-surgery prompted more aggressive resection. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
