Follicular Ameloblastoma Presenting As a Sinonasal Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of follicular ameloblastoma of the left maxilla in a 74-year-old man is reported. The tumor was presented as a radiographically solid mass filling the left sinonasal cavity and invaded maxillary alveola. After radical surgery, the patient has pursued a non-aggressive clinical course after 4 years of follow-up. The radiopathological features of this tumor were reviewed and the possibility of its sinonasal epithelium origin was discussed.

An ameloblastoma is benign and locally aggressive an odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin. Histologically it resembles the epithelial odontogenic apparatus, such as enamel organ and dental lamina, in some respects; however, the detailed mechanism of oncogenesis, cytodifferentiation, and tumor progression remains unknown. This tumor comprises about 1% of tumors and cysts arising in the jaws. B...

Ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor and is the most commonly encountered odontogenic tumor in the jaws. Histologically, ameloblastomas occur in different patterns, including plexiform pattern and follicular pattern. "Hybrid" lesion of ameloblastoma is a tumor variant in which histologically, areas of follicular or plexiform ameloblastoma coexist with characteristic areas of a...

In this study, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and p53 protein expressions were analyzed in 16 cases of ameloblastoma and 8 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT). The cases of ameloblastoma consisted of solid type tumors and histologic arrangements of different subtypes were observed. In some specimens, more than one histologic subtype was identified in the same lesion, and eac...

Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of the odontogenic epithelium with several histological subtypes. All subtypes of ameloblastoma contain abundant stroma; the tumor cells invade collectively into the surrounding tissues without losing intratumor cell attachments. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating ameloblastoma invasion remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the functional significance of th...
