NCIt definition : A benign but locally infiltrating neoplasm arising from tooth-forming tissues. It
is more often intraosseous and less frequently extraosseous and occurs in the jaw.
It is characterized by the presence of ameloblastoma-like epithelium, connective tissue
stroma, ghost cells, and dysplastic dentin. Wide local resection is recommended for
intraosseous neoplasms and enucleation for extraosseous neoplasms.;
