Recurrence and cancerization of
ameloblastoma: multivariate analysis of 87 recurrent craniofacial
ameloblastoma to assess risk factors associated with early recurrence and secondary ameloblastic carcinoma.
No malignant findings were found, and an
ameloblastoma was diagnosed.
A differential diagnosis is also possible where DCs can be distinguished from odontogenic keratocyst, ameloblastic fibroodontoma, ameloblastic fibroma, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, and unicystic
ameloblastoma (7).
Odontogenic tumours like
Ameloblastoma and Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) can pose diagnostic challenges because of their overlapping clinical, radiographic and histopathological presentation.
Impacted teeth may lead to common complications like carious lesions of the impacted or adjacent tooth, periapical infection, periodontal disease and pathology like cyst and tumor.9 Common odontogenic cysts and tumors include dentigerous cyst, calcifying odontogenic cyst,
ameloblastoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, odontogenic keratocyst, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, and odontoma.10 Review of literature states that cystic or neoplastic lesions are seen in 16% of impacted teeth and is most common finding during the second and third decades of life.11 The most frequent lesion associated with impacted teeth is the dentigerous cyst.12
Kontogiannis et al., y Sullivan et al., en su estudio retrospectivo de lesiones periapicales tambien encontraron lesiones tumorales como
ameloblastoma y queratoquiste odontogenico en el analisis histopatologico, por lo tanto, la diversidad de estas lesiones debe ser considerada y su correcto diagnostico debe ser priorizado.
Extra-gingival peripheral
ameloblastoma. Differential diagnoses: neurofibroma or schwannoma of the buccal branch of the left trigeminal nerve, keratocystic odontogenic tumor or solitary fibrous tumor.
A provisional diagnosis of the periapical cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, dentigerous cyst, and unicystic
ameloblastoma was arrived at.
Based on the clinical and radiographic examination, a provisional diagnosis of keratocystic odontogenic tumor was given with the differential diagnoses of
ameloblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, central giant cell granuloma, and central hemangioma owing to the multilocular radiolucent pattern of the present lesion.
