Abstract
- Pindborg tumor occurs rarely, with a frequency ranging from 0.17% to 1.8% of all odontogenic tumor. It typically presents as a painless asymptomatic expansile mass, but it can result in mechanical effects. The treatment of Pindborg tumor in the past has varied, ranging from enucleation or curettage, to hemimandiblectomy or hemimaxillectomy. We experienced a case of Pindborg tumor treated by marsupialization with sufficient results. But since recurrence has been reported from 10% to 14%, we plan on close observation over at least 5 years.
