Incidence and Overall Survival of Malignant Ameloblastoma
BACKGROUND Malignant ameloblastoma, comprising metastasizing ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma, represents 1.6-2.2% of all odontogenic tumors. Due to its rare nature, malignant ameloblastoma has only been reported in the literature in small case series or case reports. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Results (SEER) database, we have performed a population-based study to dete...

sequences. One possible explanation for the high signal intensity is the presence of proteinaceous material within the cyst. Cyst fluid that has a low specific gravity and is mainly serous (a “spring water” cyst), will show very low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and have very high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Most bronchogenic cysts contain large amounts of proteinaceous mat...

متن کاملMalignant ameloblastoma metastasis to the neck--radiological and pathohistological dilemma.
INTRODUCTION Ameloblastomas are odontogenic epithelial, locally invasive tumors of slow growth and mostly of benign behavior. Their frequency is low (they account for 1% of all head and neck tumors and about 11% of tumors of dental origin). Malignant variations of ameloblastoma are malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. They constitute less than 1% of all ameloblastomas. We present...
