Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma – A Rare Variant Of Ameloblastoma
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is relatively rare variant of ameloblastoma. Only a very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here we present a case where a 48 year old male reported with an asymptomatic swelling with respect to the lingual aspect of anterior mandibular region. Radiography and computed tomography revealed an expansile lytic mass. Histologically, however, an unmistakable diagnosis of the desmoplastic variant of ameloblastoma was established. The present case deserves importance because of the potential aggressive nature of the lesion, unfamiliar nature and increased chances of misdiagnosis. This case is also an attempt at reporting of this rare lesion and to make the dental community aware with the clinical and radiographic presentation of the lesion and also advocating to develop a high index of suspicion in recognising such cases
