Abstract
Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma (SOC) was first described by Koutlas et al. in 2008. Despite its inclusion in the World Health Organization (WHO) as a distinct entity, it is a tumour that remains poorly defined in the literature, with only 10 reported cases to date. The mandibular premolar and molar region is more commonly affected compared to the maxilla. In the maxilla, the anterior and the molar regions are most commonly affected. This article describes a case report of a Sclerosing Odontogenic Carcinoma in a 50 year old male patient in the mandibular region. The radiograph showed a well-defined radiolucency extending from the left ramus of the mandible to the right lower molar region. SOC is low grade with mild atypia and frequent mitosis and diffused infiltrative and perineural spread.
