Ameloblastoma is an uncommon odontogenic neoplasm that accounts for approximately 10% of alltumors originating from gnathic bones. Its behavior has often been described as benign but locallyaggressive, along with a high recurrence rates and also the capability of attaining large sizes leading to tremendous facial disfigurement. Clinical and imaging findings aid in the differential diagnosis of ameloblastomas; however, histopathological evaluation is essential for its definitive diagnosis.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence, radiological features, histological variant, and different treatment options of patients with ameloblastoma of the jaws treated at a tertiary-level hospital in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: Age, gender, tumor location, radiologic features, histological pattern, and treatment modalities were all evaluated in this retrospective observational study. The frequency and percentages of these study variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 131 patients were included in this study, 66 of them were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.01. The patients had a wide age range from 4 to 70 years, a mean age (±standard deviation) of 26.61 (±13.34) years, and a significant incidence in the third decade of life. The left side of the jaws was the most frequently involved site. The mandible (n = 125, 95.42%) was the most frequently affected site, with the body-angle-ramus (n = 73, 58.5%) area being the most frequently involved location. Multilocular radiolucency was seen in most cases (n = 73, 55.73%) on radiography. The most common histological pattern (n = 71, 54.2%) was follicular. The most preferred treatment was the dredging (n = 90, 68.70%) method. The recurrence rate of the dredging treatment method was 5.56%. Conclusions: Ameloblastoma was found to be more common in patients in their third decade of life, with a wide age range. The follicular ameloblastoma was the predominant histological type, with most of them occurring in the mandible's body-angle-ramus area. Most of the patients were treated by the dredging method.
Maxillary ameloblastomas: a review of the literature and of a 15-year database

were evaluated. Patients: Twenty-six patients suffering from ameloblastoma had been collected. Five of them, had a maxillary ameloblastoma, three females and two males. Methods: A clinical retrospective study was performed. In addition a review of the literature was undertaken and the findings have been compared and contrasted. Patients: The overall incidence of ameloblastoma within the mandible (21) was four times higher than in the maxilla (5). In 69 per cent of the cases (18) it occurred in men, in 31 percent (8) in women. The sex ratio differed with the maxillary ameloblastomas: 40 percent male (2) and 60 per cent female (3). Although slow growing and nearly painless, it can reach a considerable size within the mid-face involving such highly specialized structures as the orbit, skull-base and brain. Wide resections with a safety margin of healthy bone to prevent local recurrence were undertaken. Nevertheless, recurrence was frequent due to invasion of the adjacent bone. Conclusion: On the one hand, a recurrence was found after a simple curettage of a 'dental cyst'. On the other hand, extensive bone destruction, involvement of the nasal cavity, the ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses, infiltration of the skull-base and distant metastasis were observed. The current treatment of choice is partial maxillectomy with a 10-15 mm safety margin of healthy bone including the alveolar ridge, the hard palate, the mucosa of the maxillary sinus and the lateral nasal wall. For the removal of tumours close to or invading the retromaxillary space the temporal approach gives ample access.

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor. Clinically there are no distinct differences from the types of ameloblastoma. The correlation of clinical, radiological, and histological features is expected to provide a better understanding of this disease. This study to describe the distribution of the histopathological type of mandibular ameloblastoma in patients post mandibular resection. Methods: This study was a retrospective study with a descriptive method using total sampling of the medical records of mandibular ameloblastoma patients who had undergone mandibular resection and with viable postoperative histopathological data in the hospital network of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Airlangga University, Surabaya in 2015-2019. Results: 22 data samples were obtained. The histolopathological examination of all subtypes, the most common type of pattern was 14 cases with mixed type histological patterns, the most common combination was follicular & plexiform type...
Approach and conservative surgical treatment of jaw ameloblastoma: case report
CES Odontología
Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm, originated from the odontogenic epithelium. It preferentially affects the mandible and due to its infiltrative growth pattern, it has a tendency to local recurrence. Treatment varies based on clinical, histological and radiographic characteristics. The aggressive treatment, such as marginal resection, has shown good results, however, it also has greater morbidity. Conservative treatments, such as decompression, enucleation and curettage, can also be used, with specific indications, and when carefully performed, it has a good prognosis. Thus, the objective of this work is to describe a case of mandibular ameloblastoma, treated in a more conservative way. Male patient, 53 years old, presented an increase in volume in the anterior region of the mandible. The clinical and radiographic characteristics suggested that it was a cystic lesion, so decompression and incisional biopsy were performed, the diagnosis of which was cystic ameloblastoma. The decomp...
Maxillary ameloblastoma: results of the treatment in 11 patients
Journal of Oral Medicine and Oral Surgery
Introduction: Surgery of maxilla ameloblastoma is mutilating and the tumor propensity for recurrence high. Patients and Methods: The oral and visual functions, facial morphology and tumor recurrence in 11 patients after maxillary ameloblastoma surgery are retrospectively reviewed. Results: Facial morphology was satisfactory in 7 patients who had all tumor removal by a type 1 or 2A maxillectomy and surgical wound closure. Out of these patients, 4 who had dental rehabilitation by conventional prosthesis presented satisfactory mastication. Four patients subjected to the tumor removal by a type 3 maxillectomy had all facial asymmetry. Out of these, 1 patient who did not have the orbital floor defect repair presented diplopia and enophtalmos, 2 patients subjected to the palate defect repair by a prosthetic obturator or oral mucosa had elocution impairment. The tumor recurrence occurred in 2 patients after tumor enucleation and in 1 patient after radical surgery out of 8 patients who had ...
