Overview

NCI Definition: A rare neoplasm arising from tooth-forming tissues. It occurs in the maxillofacial skeleton or the gingiva. Symptoms include swelling, pain, bleeding, mobility of affected teeth, and oral mucosa ulcerations. It may metastasize to lymph nodes and distant anatomic sites early. [1]

Malignant odontogenic neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in EWSR1, ATF1, SYNE1, RICTOR, and PRKDC [2].

EWSR1 Fusion, EWSR1-ATF1 Fusion, SYNE1 R5410Q, RICTOR Mutation, and RICTOR L212F are the most common alterations in malignant odontogenic neoplasm [2].
