A central maxillary tumor with bland cytology, partly sclerotic stroma, and neural involvement. Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma or epithelial neurotropism in an odontogenic fibroma?

ConclusionsThe tumor presented herein showed clinical, radiographical and microscopical features consistent with SOC and COdF, with neural involvement favoring a diagnosis of SOC. Epithelial neurotropism in a COdF could account for the similarities between those lesions and the rather quiescent, for an infiltrative intraosseous carcinoma, clinical behaviour of SOC.
