Management of Unicystic Plexiform Ameloblastoma in a 12 year Old Female: Report of a Case
نویسنده
چکیده
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 & chemical cauterization) in our unit. The patient remains well without disease after 5 years of postoperative follow-up and is still being followed up.
