Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign tumor, it is a true mixed tumor composed of neoplastic epithelium and mesenchymal. This tumor is rare, and it almost arises in the mandible. A 22-years old female patient referred AF in the maxillary was present. The tumor was asymptomatic, except the right facial bulge. The radiograph showed a well-circumscribed neoplasm with several low density cysts invo...

the ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant counterpart of the ameloblastoma. ameloblastic carcinoma is a malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behavior that dictates a more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. however, reliable evidence of its biologic activity is currently unavailable due to the scarcity of well-documented cases. we prese...

The usual treatment for ameloblastic carcinoma is surgical resection. effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy the disease has not been determined, few effective treatments are available local recurrence distant metastasis. Recently, molecular targeting using BRAFV600E inhibitors attracted interest as a ameloblastoma carcinoma.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of radiotherapy in the treatment of ameloblastoma and ameloblastic

Ameloblastic carcinomas are rare odontogenic tumors. Treatment usually consists of surgical resection and sometimes adjuvant radiation. We report the case of a 71 year-old male patient undergoing carbon ion therapy for extensive local relapse of ameloblastic carcinoma. Treatment outcome was favourable with a complete remission at 6 weeks post completion of radiotherapy while RT-treatment itself...

Histological evaluation revealed multiple fragments of richly cellular mesenchymal tissue containing round droplike islands and long narrow anastomosing cords of odontogenic epithelium. The epithelial islands and cords were characterized by peripheral columnar or cuboidal hyperchromatic cells and were frequently only two cell layers thick (Fig. 2). The mesenchymal component contained evenly dis...

ameloblastic carcinoma (ac) is a rare malignant epithelial odontogenic tumor that histologically retains the features of ameloblastic differentiation and exhibits cytological features of malignancy in the primary or recurrent tumor. it may develop within a preexisting ameloblastoma or arise de novo or from an odontogenic cyst. epidemiological evidence shows that human cancer is generally caused...

Despite Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare odontogenic tumour, it occurs predominantly in children and therefore remain an important diagnostic consideration.1 It usually arises from the mandibular dentition although it can arise in maxilla.2 AF consists of odontogenic ectomesenchyme resembling the dental papilla and epithelium resembling dental lamina and enamel organ without dental hard tiss...

Background: Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare and malignant odontogenic tumour possibly arising de-novo from pre-existing ameloblastoma. It aggressive locally destructive. Ameloblastoma the most common benign of mandible. originates tooth-forming epithelium, where its aetiology remains unknown. usually grows slowly, asymptomatic, destroys surrounding bone tissue. Malignant transformation amelobl...
