Unicystic Mural Ameloblastoma: An Unusual Case Report

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm which frequently affects the mandible. The term ameloblastoma includes several clinicoradiological and histological types. Apart from the most commonly encountered clinicopathologic models, there are few variants, whose biological profile is unknown or not elicited. Among these types, unicystic ameloblastoma is the least encountered variant of the ameloblastoma. Unicystic ameloblastoma refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic, or gross features of a jaw cyst but on histologic examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor proliferation. Unicystic ameloblastoma is a less encountered variant of the ameloblastoma and is believed to be less aggressive. As this tumor shows considerable similarities with dentigerous cysts, both clinically and radiographically, the biologic behaviour of this tumor group was reviewed. Moreover, recurrence of unicystic ameloblastoma may be long delayed, and a long-term postoperative followup is essential for proper management of these patients. Here we are presenting a case of unicystic ameloblastoma in an 18-year-old female patient.

ABSTRACT Unicystic ameloblastoma refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic or gross features of a jaw cyst but on histological examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor proliferation. Unicystic ameloblastoma is a less encountered variant of the ameloblastoma and believed to be less aggressive. As this tumor shows considerable similarities with dentigerous cysts, both clinically and radiographically the biologic behavior of this tumor group was reviewed. Moreover, recurrence of unicystic ameloblastoma may be long delayed and a long-term postoperative follow-up is essential for proper management of these patients. Here, we present a case of unicystic ameloblastoma in a 12-year-old female patient. How to cite this article Bakshi NS, Mukherji S, Chauhan Y. Unicystic Ameloblastoma presenting as Dentigerous Cyst.

Unusual Case Report

An unusual case of suspected lateral subtalar joint dislocation was reported. A review of the literature found that medial dislocations were reported four times more frequently than lateral dislocations. Half of the cases of subtalar dislocation reviewed here described associated fractures, the incidence of which was higher in lateral dislocations. In both types of dislocations examined, almost half were reduced nonoperatively. In most cases, long-term results of repair of these injuries were considered favorable.

Cyst Cavity

Ameloblastoma is a neoplasm that originates from odontogenic epithelium. It is the second most common neoplasm of the oral cavity. Unicystic ameloblastomas refer to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic, or gross features of a jaw cyst, but on histologic examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/ or mural growth. Even though the lesion is not that aggressive as the solid ameloblastoma, an accurate diagnosis should be made. This lesion needs to be treated more aggressively than any other periapical lesions.
