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...

INTRODUCTION Ameloblastomas are rare lesions constituting 1% of all jaw tumors. Oral squamous cell carcinomas are common lesions; these constitute about 90% of all oral cancers. Concurrent tumors consisting of ameloblastoma and squamous cell carcinoma are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 35-year-old African man who presented with a large mandibular tumor with an ...

Ameloblastoma, a benign neoplasm of jaw bones is the most common of all odontogenic tumors. Its pathology is generally well understood and is easy to diagnose. This article presents a rare case of an ameloblastoma with atypical features depicting an example of the diagnostic difficulty posed by some ameloblastomas and briefly reviews the classification and literature of odontogenic malignancies...

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. ...

Introdução: O ameloblastoma é um tumor benigno de crescimento lento e invasivo, geralmente assintomático, sendo descoberto na maioria das vezes, através exames radiográficos. Objetivo: verificar as evidências científicas acerca da análise clínica terapêutica do odontogênico ameloblastoma. Metodologia: Trata-se uma revisão sistemática com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em setembro 2020 busca n...

Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor, which arises from odontogenic epithelium. Ameloblastomas can present in several clinical and histomorphological patterns. The granular cell variant accounts for only 3.5% to 5% of ameloblastomas. We have presented two cases of granular cell ameloblastoma (GCA) occurring in a 44-year-old and 50-year-old man, respectively. Case No. 1 on incisional...

Ameloblatoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, with specific clinical features as cortical expansion, painless, associated with tooth displacement and root resorption. Ameloblastoma treatment is controversial. There are conservative and aggressive treatment options, ranging from a simple enucleation associated or not with curettage to a complete mandibular resection with secur...

OBJECTIVES this report describes the masticatory implant- supported rehabilitation of a patient undergoing resection for mandibular ameloblastoma. CASE REPORT in the reported case the patient underwent resection and reconstruction with a fibula flap for masticatory rehabilitation of 7 implants at the level of the mandible. DISCUSSION ameloblastoma is a benign locally invasive tumor of maxil...

A 46-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment, complaining of swelling on the right mandibular molar region. Radiographic examination revealed a well defined multilocular radiolucent lesion with root resorption of right lower anteriors and molars. Following biopsy, a diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma of mural type was made and hemimandibulectomy was performed under general ane...

Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaws that commonly occurs in 2nd and 3rd decade of life. In fact, this entity is rare in children under 12 years of age. It is characterised as a distinct variant of ameloblastoma, exhibiting a less aggressive behaviour and a lower rate of recurrence than solid conventional ameloblastoma. There are very few reported ca...
