Odontogenic tumours are lesions that occur solely within the oral cavity and are so named because of their origin from the odontogenic (i.e. tooth-forming) apparatus. Odontogenic tumours comprise a variety of lesions ranging from non-neoplastic tissue proliferations to benign or malignant neoplasms. However, controversies exist regarding the pathogenesis, categorisation and clinical and histological variations of these tumours. The recent 2017 World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumours included new entities such as primordial odontogenic tumours, sclerosing odontogenic carcinomas and odontogenic carcinosarcomas, while eliminating several previously included entities like keratocystic odontogenic tumours and calcifying cystic odonogenic tumours. The aim of the present review article was to discuss controversies and recent concepts regarding odontogenic tumours so as to increase understanding of these lesions.
牙源性肿瘤是仅发生在口腔内的病变，因其起源于牙源性（即牙齿形成）器官而得名。牙源性肿瘤包括从非肿瘤性组织增生到良性或恶性肿瘤的各种病变。然而，关于这些肿瘤的发病机制、分类以及临床和组织学变异存在争议。2017年世界卫生组织最近对牙源性肿瘤的分类纳入了新的实体，如原始牙源性肿瘤、硬化性牙源性癌和牙源性癌肉瘤，同时剔除了一些先前纳入的实体，如角化囊性牙源性肿瘤和钙化囊性牙源性肿瘤。本综述文章的目的是讨论关于牙源性肿瘤的争议和最新概念，以增进对这些病变的了解。
