title: Squamous odontogenic tumor.
abstract: The squamous odontogenic tumor is almost exclusively an intraosseous lesion of the jaw bones. Only 1 extraosseous variant has been reported. The tumor is histologically benign, with only occasional recurrences after surgical removal. Malignant alteration is unknown, but the lesion must be distinguished from intraosseous squamous cell carcinomas.
