Follicular Ameloblastoma in the Mandible- A Case Report
Keywords:
.Abstract
Odontogenic jaw tumors are a group of lesions originating from epithelium remnants associated with teeth development. Most odontogenic lesions occur in the posterior mandible, followed by the posterior maxilla; they rarely occur in the anterior region. These tumors are asymptomatic and they can be associated with an unerupted tooth or may displace developing teeth. Ameloblastomas are slow-growing, locally invasive tumors affecting the maxillofacial region. There are various histologic variants of ameloblastoma. The most common is follicular ameloblastoma. Follicular ameloblastoma is commonly seen in elder people. Follicular ameloblastomas have got high recurrence rate. The radiographic finding shows a multilocular radiolucency with well-defined borders. This paper presents a case of follicular ameloblastoma in a female patient in her early 40s with swelling
on the right mandible region.
