”Evaluation of safety margin” in ameloblastoma of the mandible by surgical, radiological, and histopathological methods: An evidence-based study
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to elicit the amount of safety margin necessary around the ameloblastic lesion in view of preventing further recurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 25 cases of mandibular ameloblastoma. Diagnosis was based on clinical and radiological analysis and confirmed by histopathological report. An incisional biopsy was done preoperatively to confirm the diagnosis. Segmental resection was planned for all the cases. After the resection, postoperative panoramic radiograph of the specimen was taken followed by histopathological examination of its margin to detect tumor cell infiltration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In all our cases, the ameloblastoma was infiltrating in nature. A follow-up period of 10 years showed neither recurrence nor implant failure. In our study, we conclude our safe margin for infiltrating variant of ameloblastoma based on histopathological report of the resected specimen.

Introduction: Unicystic ameloblastoma is a subtype of ameloblastoma with some differences in clinical behavior such as lesser recurrence rate and aggressiveness. This lesion has 3 types: luminal, intraluminal and mural. The diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma is based on histopathology and radiological characteristics. Objective: This study attempts to determine the prevalence of unicystic a...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon developmental cyst. It accounts for 0.012% to 1.3% of all the jaw cysts; its prevalence is 0.17%. It was described by Gardner et al. in 1988 as a distinct entity. GOC has a slight predilection for mandible and affect more commonly in the middle-aged patients. Radiographic and clinical features of this cyst are not pathognomonic or specific. Only t...

Ameloblastic carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm which mostly occurs in the mandible and at a wide age group. It has no gender bias and has specific histopathologic features and its surgical treatment requires more aggression than ameloblastoma. . The number of reported cases of the disorder are rare, and it is very difficult to diagnose based on histopathologic findings because t...
