AB  - Background: There is a great confusion in the scientific literature 
regarding tumors composed of tissues with different histogenetic and 
molecular characteristics. Diagnosis of a neoplasm composed of more than
 one tumoral tissue can be extremely challenging, so is the treatment.  
Methods: This is an attempt, illustrated with several examples of these 
types of tumors from the gnathic system, to gain a better understanding 
of this issue. Conclusions: As the best of our knowledge, this is the 
first report of a collision tumor between a sarcomatoid carcinoma and so
 called keratocystic odontogenic tumor. It is critical to understand 
these types of tumors, for correct diagnosis, staging and treatment.
