Case Report - Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Ameloblastoma
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Ameloblastoma is an uncommon borderline, locally aggressive, epithelial odontogenic neoplasm, constituting about 1% of all tumors and cyst of the jaws. It often presents as a slow growing, painless swelling. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of jaw lesions is a rapid and non-invasive procedure for the initial evaluation of these lesions. It provides helpful information and avoids a more traumatic and unnecessary surgical biopsy. Here we present a case of ameloblastoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology.
