Abstract
Background: Non-odontogenic bone tumors of the jawbones constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that may arise in various regions of the maxillofacial complex and present as chondroid or bone-forming tumors (BFTs). Therefore, this 53-year retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological characteristics of BFTs (osteoma-OT, osteoblastoma-OB and osteosarcoma-OS) diagnosed at a single oral pathology referral center in Brazil.
Material and methods: Gender, age, symptoms, clinical diagnosis, lesion duration, anatomical site, size of the lesion, and radiographic characteristics were collected from all cases previously diagnosed as BFTs, and all histological sections were reviewed.
Results: Among 19.596 cases diagnosed at the service during the study period, 74 (0.37%) were identified as OTs, OBs or OSs, with OTs being the most common (55.4%). There was a predominance of female patients (70.2%), and the mandible was the most affected gnathic bone (84.7%). Radiographically, OTs typically presented as well-delimited, radiopaque lesions (68.4%), whereas OBs (68.4%) and OSs (75.0%) frequently exhibited mixed radiolucent patterns. Histopathologically, OTs were predominantly classified as compact, and OBs were commonly typical. Osteosarcomas were frequently of osteoblastic subtype.
Conclusions: Awareness of clinical, radiographic and histopathological characteristics is essential for improving recognition of the distinct profiles of BFTs.
