Introduction. We report a rare case of unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) of mandible which showed multilocular radiolucency on the left side of mandible on radiographic examination which is very unusual, and the majority of the cases of UAs till date has been reported of unilocular radiolucency. On histopathological examination, an odontogenic cystic lining that proliferates that intraluminally rese...

Oral pulse granuloma (PG) is a rare lesion that presents as a foreign body granulomatous reaction to implanted food particles of plant or vegetable origin. It is classified as a central or a peripheral lesion depending on the location. Rarely, a central oral PG may be associated with a cyst or tumor, thus leading to a deceptive histopathological picture. This is exemplified in the present case ...

The lining of an odontogenic cyst may show potential for neoplastic transformation to non odontogenic malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma and also odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma and adenoamatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT). Unicystic ameloblastoma is a single cystic cavity lesion which shows ameloblastomatous differentiation in the lining. The clinical and ...

Ameloblastoma is a locally invasive benign odontogenic tumor with a high rate of recurrence in the long term. The authors conducted a retrospective study of patients with mandibular ameloblastoma in order to evaluate recurrent ameloblastoma management. The study included data from 31 patients over a period of 10 years. Data collected included age, gender, tumor location, histological findings, ...

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...

Results: Of the 70 cases, 35 (50%) occurred in males and 35 (50%) in females. Young adults were most affected by tumors. Fifty-six (80%) of all tumor cases occurred in the jaw. The main histological subtype seen was unicystic ameloblastoma, which occurred in 35 cases. The majority of the tumors [n=57 (81.4%)] were treated with radical surgery. The differences in clinical aspects and anatomical ...

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor that accounts for 1% of all tumors the jaws. We aim to compare ameloblastoma recurrence rate according type treatment: radical or conservative and as per radiographic, histologic features. Material methods: we conducted retrospective study collected data based on radiological, histological treatment. Results: Thirty Patients were i...

The aim of this work was to describe a case of unicystic ameloblastoma located in the left posterior mandibular body and angle of a 14-year-old Caucasian male. The tumour was described at clinical and histological level; moreover, its histopathological phenotype was depicted. Finally, the problems of differential diagnosis with odontogenic or congenital cyst and the most appropriate therapeutic...

Ameloblastoma is a common benign, locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that usually occurs in the vicinity of mandibular molars or ramus. Uncontrolled, ameloblastoma may cause significant morbidity and occasionally death. The majority ameloblastomas are multicystic, which more difficult to eradicate than unicystic peripheral varieties. Although surgery mainstay treatment, extent resection co...
