ABSTRACT
Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm which frequently affects the mandible. The term ameloblastoma includes several clinico-radiological and histological types. Apart from the most commonly encountered clinico- pathologic models there are few variants, whose biological profile is unknown or not elicited. The reason for lack of understanding is the scarcity of case report published in the literature. Among the types, unicystic ameloblastoma is the least encountered either it presents as unilocular or multilocular radiolucency, but peculiar radiographic presentation of multilocular radiolucency in posterior mandible with unilocular radiographic appearance crossing the midline is extremely rare, which has not been reported yet. Here we report a distinctive case of mural unicystic ameloblastoma of mandible in a 17-year- old- girl with the radiographic presentation as mentioned above.
RESUMEN
El ameloblastoma es un tumor odontogénico benigno que frecuentemente afecta a la mandíbula. El término ameloblastoma incluye varias características clínico-radiológicas y tipos histológicos. Aparte de los modelos clínicopatológicos que se encuentran con frecuencia existen algunas variantes, cuyo perfil biológico es desconocido o aún no elucidado. La razón de la falta de comprensión es la escasez de informes de casos publicados en la literatura. Entre los tipos, el ameloblastoma uniquístico es el menos frecuente y puede presentarse como una radiolucidez unilocular o multilocular, pero la peculiar presentación radiográfica de radiolucidez multilocular en el posterior de la mandíbula con aspecto radiográfico unilocular que cruza la línea mediana es extremadamente rara, y aún no se ha reportado. Se presenta un caso de ameloblastoma uniquístico mural de la mandíbula en una paciente de 17 años con la presentación radiográfica anteriormente descrita.
