Abstract

A survey of the diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic tumors in Croatia, based on the World Health Organization classification of these tumors from 1971, supplemented and modified in 1992, is presented, along with the respective Croatian scientific and professional literature reporting on new cases of odontogenic tumors diagnosed over a certain period of time. Several typical and atypical pathologic changes from the group of odontogenic tumors diagnosed during the last few years are described in view of the latest 1992 modifications of tumor classification. The authors point to the complexity of the problem which obviously requires a clinical pathologist to be included in the team to exclusively work on oral pathology.
