Abstract

Odontogenic tumors are referred to as peripheral, extraosseous, or soft tissue odontogenic tumors when they arise, and are confined entirely within the gingiva. They display similar histopathologic characteristics of their intraosseous counterparts, but their biologic potential and clinical behaviors differ greatly. The first report of peripheral ameloblastoma appeared in 1949,1 and the first completely documented case was reported by Stanley and Krough.2 Peripheral ameloblastomas are the most common types of the peripheral odontogenic tumors.
