Abstract:

Amebloblastoma as the most common epithelial odontogenic neoplasm may occur in two forms of central and peripheral. This report presents a case of a 41-year-old Iranian female with a six-month complaint from a painless mass in the right posterior portion of the mandible. The case was diagnosed as an exophytic epulis-like peripheral component with characteristics of peripheral ameloblastoma and an intrabony component like solid ameloblastoma. Two probable hypotheses considered for this case is also discussed.

A 54-year-old Caucasian male was found to have such a lesion in the posterior maxilla. The origin, histological appearance, and surgical treatment of this lesion is discussed. Histologically, the peripheral ameloblastoma is indistinguishable from the basal cell carc...

Ameloblastomas are nototrious for their local invasiveness and their tendency to recur. It shows an aggressive behavior leaving surgical resection as one of the most practical approach towards treatment. Al...

Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma: A Case Report

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is a rare variant of ameloblastoma. Up until now, less than 150 patients have been reported in the literature. We report a case of desmoplastic ameloblastoma in a 45-year-old female with a painless swelling in the left anterior maxillary region. Fine needle aspiration yielded no fluid. Periapical and panoramic radiographs as well as computer tomography scan showed a m...

Follicular Ameloblastoma: A Case Report

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...
