Ameloblastoma: Literature Review
Keywords:
Ameloblastoma, odontogenic tumorAbstract
The ameloblastoma is a locally invasive polymorphic benign neoplasm composed ofa proliferation of odontogenic epithelium in a fibrous stroma, classified within the
benign tumors of above mentioned epithelium with a mature stroma without
odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It represents the 11 and the 13 % of all odontogenic tumors. Its appearance is mainly during the fourth and fifth decade of
life in any sex and in any age with a greater incidence between 20 and 50 years
except the unicystic variety diagnosed between 20 and 30 years. This tumor has a
lengthy and silent growth without obvious early sings, involving mainly the
mandibular bone. Its therapeutical behavior is complex due to its propensity
characteristic to relapse caused by the possible presence of peripheral microscopic
lesions and by the multicentric origin of tumor.
