Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma of Mandible
نویسنده
چکیده
Ameloblastomas are an enigmatic group of oral tumors. The name implies a resemblance to cells of the enamel-forming organ. The general agreement that ameloblastomas are odontogenic in origin occurs largely on the basis of the histologic similarities of the tumor and the developing enamel organ. Ameloblastomas show wide morphological spectra and may pose diagnostic difficulties. Of the many types encountered, acanthomatous ameloblastoma is a rare variant that possesses distinctive features. We here are reporting a case of acanthomatous ameloblastoma of the mandible occurring in a 45 year old male patient.

Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive jaw tumors with a high propensity for recurrence that are believed to arise from remnants of odontogenic epithelium, lining of odontogenic cysts and basal layer of overlying oral mucosa. They can occur in either the maxilla or mandible at nearly any age but most frequently are discovered as a painless expansion in the mandible of patients in their 20s-40s. ...

Multilocular radiolucencies are produced by multiple, adjacent, frequently coalescing and overlapping pathologic compartments in bone. A number of lesions produce multilocular radiolucencies of the jaws. These are more common in the mandible as compared to the maxilla. To help the practitioner arrive at a working (clinical) diagnosis through the differential diagnosis process a systematic appro...
