Abstract
Introduction
Malignant odontogenic tumors (MOT) are rare malignancies arising either denovo from tooth forming tissues or as malignant transformation of benign odontogenic lesions. Owing to its rarity, there is no available staging or defined evaluation/ treatment guidelines available.
Aim
The aim of this study was to report a case series of six MOT cases, to study their clinicoradiological findings at presentation and available treatment modalities.
Methodology
Data of the patients were collected from medical records including electronic medical records and the pathology reporting section.
Results and Conclusion
Our study showed that all patients who were treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation remained disease free during follow-up. Thus, we recommend that all MOTs should be treated with radical resection followed by adjuvant radiation.
