UNICYSTIC AMELOBLASTOMA MIMICKING AS DENTIGEROUS CYST – A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Ameloblastoma is considered as a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin which includes several clinico-radiological and histological types. Solid/Multicystic ameloblastoma is the most common subtype while its variant unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is relatively uncommon. UA refers to cystic lesions showing clinical, radiographic or gross features of a cyst, but on histological examination shows a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. In this article, we report a case of Unicystic Ameloblastoma in a 14 year old boy which was provisionally diagnosed as dentigerous cyst based on clinico - radiographic features and treated conservatively. Detailed microscopic examination revealed features of Unicystic ameloblastoma which requires long term follow-up to check for recurrence
