Resumen
Lesions arising from odontogenic tissues of the jaws vary from very
common to very rare. Some, such as radicular cysts, form a routine
part of the diagnostic workload for histopathologists who report specimens from the head and neck, but many other lesions are rarely seen
and can cause significant diagnostic difficulty for the non-specialist.
These issues are compounded by the vagaries of dental disease
(and terminology used by dentists and oral surgeons) and issues in
the interpretation of radiographic images, which can be crucial to making a correct diagnosis. In this review article, we will discuss a number
of areas of diagnostic difficulty, largely based on the authors experience in receiving tertiary referrals. This will focus on practical advice
to help avoid the pitfalls in the diagnosis of odontogenic lesions.
