Abstract

Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma is a rare primary intraosseous neoplasm that was recently included in the World Health Organization's 2017 classification of head and neck tumors. In the 2024 update, only the phrase "without metastatic potential" was specifically added; with few cases published to date. The biological characteristics of sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma are locally aggressive, with no reported metastases. This pathology resembles many other tumors. According to current reports, sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma affects individuals between 31 and 73 years of age (mean age, 54 years), with a slight female bias.
