Abstract:
A squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is an epithelial originated benign tumor. It has been rarely reported and most was intramural type. We observed a case of SOT in the mandible. It was associated with the odontogenic cyst. It was shown positive to pancytokeratin and p53. Considering that the case was free from recurrence for 5 years after surgery, p53 positive did not seem to be related to the prognosis of the disease.
