Odontogenic tumors (OTs) consist of complex heterogeneous lesions that
originate from ectomesenchymal and/or epithelial odontogenic tissues and
manifest following normal tooth development. They are diverse from
hamartomas to malignant tumors with different behavior, histology and even
different geographical distribution.[1] Peripheral odontogenic tumors (POT), also
referred to as extraosseous or soft tissue odontogenic tumors, manifest the
histopathologic characteristics of their central or intraosseous counterparts but
arise in the soft tissues of the maxilla or mandible, usually in gingival toothbearing areas.
