Plexiform Unicystic Ameloblastoma: A Rare Variant of Ameloblastoma
The term plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma refers to a pattern of epithelial proliferation that has been described in cystic cavity. Because of unilocular presentation, it is commonly misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst. However, they may often behave clinically as biologically aggressive tumors. These tumors show high incidence of cortical perforation, tooth resorption and a high rate of recur...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of decompression for patients with dentigerous cysts, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, and unicystic ameloblastoma
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to verify the clinical effectiveness of decompression in decreasing the size of a cyst. In addition to the different types of cysts, we tried to reveal what effect host factors, such as the initial size of the lesion and the age of the patient, have on the velocity of cyst shrinkage. MATERIALS AND METHODS With the aid of a panoramic view, we measured the s...
متن کاملA comparative study of PCNA and Ki-67 expression in dental follicle, dentigerous cyst, unicystic ameloblastoma and ameloblastoma
Various cell proliferation markers are used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in oral lesions. Simultaneous evaluation of these markers can increase the precision of estimation of the proliferative status of different tissues. In this study we investigated the expression of PCNA and Ki-67 as markers of cell proliferation in 15 paraffin embedded samples of each dental follicle, dentigerous cy...
متن کاملUnicystic Ameloblastoma as a Differential Diagnosis for Odontogenic Cysts
Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a variant of the solid or multicystic ameloblastoma. Radiographically, though the unilocular appearance is common, it can produce multilocular lesions also. Histologically, the minimum criterion for diagnosing a lesion as UA is the demonstration of a single cystic sac lined by ameloblastomatous epithelium often only in focal areas with or without areas of intralu...
متن کاملManagement of Unicystic Plexiform Ameloblastoma in a 12 year Old Female: Report of a Case
Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic origin and benign in nature. But it has a high percentage of local recurrence with possible malignant development when treated inadequately. The treatment planning in ameloblastomas is still not clear. We describe a case report of unicystic plexiform ameloblastoma in a young girl who was treated with conservative surgical management (enucleation &...
