Description
Fatemeh Akbarizadeh, Javad Garmabi, and Maryam Paknahad report a rare hybrid jaw lesion in 2023. The lesion combined an odontogenic keratocyst with an odontoma in one spot. Hybrid lesions join two distinct growths with the same tissue origin. Such pairings are uncommon, and this pairing is rarer still. The patient was a 45-year-old man with the lesion in his lower jaw.
Imaging showed unusual features for either lesion on its own. The site and spread were atypical, and nearby tooth roots showed sharp resorption. Surgeons first marsupialized the lesion to shrink it before fuller care. Healing after surgery went smoothly with no problems. Follow-up over fifteen months showed no return of the lesion. The case widens the record of hybrid odontogenic growths.
