Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma is an exceedingly rare gnathic malignancy first described by Koutlas et al. in 2008, and was only recently designated as a distinct pathologic entity by World Health Organization in the 2017 Classification of Head and Neck Tumors. To date, fewer than fifteen cases of this neoplasm have been reported in the English language literature. This tumor is characterized by thin cords, strands, and small nests of epithelium in a densely sclerotic stroma. In some tumor foci, the density of the stroma may be sufficient to compress the epithelial component beyond detection in the absence of immunohistochemistry, thus rendering this entity a particularly challenging diagnosis in small sample sizes. METHODS A 55-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic lesion of posterior left maxilla. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) demonstrated a large, well-defined bony lesion with scalloped border, spanning from canine to first molar. External root resorption of the adjacent teeth was also noted. Microscopic examination of the biopsy specimen revealed an odontogenic tumor with features consistent with sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to confirm the diagnosis. RESULTS The tumor was positive for CK5/6, CK19, E-cadherin, p63 and negative for CK20 and CK7. CONCLUSION Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma is a rare, low-grade malignancy of odontogenic origin, which represents a diagnosis of exclusion in many cases. An immunohistochemical profile demonstrating positivity for markers including CK5/6, CK19, p63, and E-cadherin, in addition to a set of pertinent negative findings, can aid in the diagnosis of this tumor. This entity appears to lack metastatic potential despite its locally destructive behavior and a common histologic finding of perineural invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant odontogenic tumours are extremely rare tumours occurring within the jaws. Our study was performed to determine the demographic and clinico-pathological features of malignant odontogenic tumours amongst a multi-ethnic Asian population. METHODS This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of malignant odontogenic tumours diagnosed at the Institute for Medical Research, Malaysia, from 2009 to 2019. All cases were independently reviewed and reclassified following the criteria set out in the latest edition of the World Health Organization 2017 reference text. Demographic and clinico-pathological data were recorded for each case. RESULTS Twenty-four cases of malignant odontogenic tumours were identified. The patients' age ranged from 16 to 79 years with the mean age at diagnosis being 50.8 years (SD = 16.18). There was a male predominance (66.7%) in this cohort of patients. The ethnic distribution appeared to reflect the Malaysian population with most cases seen amongst the Malay ethnic group (66.7%). Ameloblastic carcinoma was the most frequently diagnosed malignant odontogenic tumour (45.8%) and was also predominantly seen in males (90.9%). All patients with clear cell odontogenic carcinoma were females. There was no obvious sex predilection in primary odontogenic carcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS). The mandible (79.2%) was more frequently involved compared to the maxilla. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis and management of malignant odontogenic tumours are challenging due to the rarity of these tumours. Our study has elucidated the clinico-pathological features of malignant odontogenic tumours seen in a multi-ethnic Asian population.

Abstract
Background Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC), NOS is an odontogenic carcinoma with unknown etiology. Its diagnosis may be used when central jaw carcinoma cannot be categorized as any other type of carcinoma. Further information on this extremely rare tumor is needed to improve our understanding and evaluate the classification of odontogenic carcinomas. Case presentation We herein presented two patients with PIOC, NOS with different clinical and histopathological features and analyzed gene mutations in these patients using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The typical PIOC, NOS case had many histopathological similarities to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), including the missense point mutations of TP53 Glu285Val, KDR Gln472His, and APC Pro1433Leu, which are similar to those in other cancers; however, no mutations were detected in the other patient with an atypical presentation of PIOC, NOS, which was derived from a precursor cystic lesion with similarities to both ameloblastic carcinoma and OSCC. Conclusions Genetic analysis suggested that these two PIOC, NOS cases have different features and can be subcategorized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is a rare malignant odontogenic epithelial tumor with features of benign calcifying odontogenic cysts. Herein, we report two new cases of GCOC and systematically review the previous literature.
CASE SUMMARY In case 1, a 46-year-old man complained of painless swelling of the right maxilla for 3 years, with a 1-mo history of hemorrhinia in the right nasal cavity. In case 2, a 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of painful swelling of the right mandible. Initially, the preliminary diagnoses were ameloblastomas. Thus, the two patients underwent resection of the tumor under general anesthesia. Finally, immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of GCOC. The patient in case 1 was followed for 2 years, with no evidence of recurrence. However, the patient in case 2 was lost to follow-up.
CONCLUSION GCOC is a rare malignant odontogenic epithelial tumor with high recurrence. Local extensive resection is necessary for the definitive treatment of GCOC.

Abstract
Cherubism is a rare autosomal dominant condition affecting the jaws and caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the adapter protein SH3BP2 that maps to chromosome 4p16.3. Cherubism is characterized by symmetrically developing bone lesions in the maxilla and mandible. The lesions have been radiographically and histopathologically well-described. Here, we present a family with cherubism with two of its members featuring odontogenic tumorous proliferations in association with persistent central giant cell lesions (CGCL). Specifically, the proband, a 25-year-old male, developed a radiolucent lesion characterized histologically by central odontogenic fibroma-like proliferation in association with a CGCL component, while his mother, at age 57, was diagnosed with primary intraosseous odontogenic carcinoma with areas of benign fibro-osseous lesions. In both patients the lesions occurred in the anterior mandible and presented with clinical enlargement. The son underwent incisional biopsy and did not have additional treatment. His mother underwent extensive mandibulectomy due to widespread tumor. The son has two affected children with classic cherubism while a third child at age 5, had not shown any features of the disease. Mutation analysis of three affected members resulted in the identification of a heterozygous mutation in SH3BP2 (c.1244G>C; p.Arg415Pro). To the best of our knowledge, association of cherubism with odontogenic neoplastic lesions has hitherto not been reported in the literature, thus suggesting a relationship between cherubism with disturbed odontogenesis.

Abstract
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behavior that dictates more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. Here we present a case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the mandible in a 30-year-old male patient with a clinical course of typical aggressiveness and extensive local destruction.

Abstract
The aim of this report is to present a rare case of a Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) of a 21-year-old man with review of the literature. The patient was treated surgically, and one of the surgical margins was involved, the patient received adjuvant radiotherapy for local control. Five months later, patient presented with infraorbital lesion which was proven histological to be GCOC. Radiological images, histological sections and clinical photographs are also presented. One year after the second surgery, the patient was tumor free. The only effective treatment modality was surgical removal.
