Marsupialization as a possible diagnostic aid in cystic ameloblastoma. Case report. 1983

Y Yokobayashi, and T Yokobayashi, and T Nakajima, and T Oyama, and M Fukushima, and T Ishiki

Two cases of cystic ameloblastoma are described in which the diagnosis was established after marsupialization. Although the clinical and radiographic findings strongly suggested the diagnosis of ameloblastoma, the initial incisional biopsy specimens consisted of cystic walls lined with squamous epithelium which showed in both cases no evidence of ameloblastic proliferation. Marsupialization could be a diagnostic aid in these cases since relief of intracystic pressure may trigger regeneration of a solid mass of tumour in a monocystic ameloblastoma with cells possessing potentiality for spontaneous proliferation.

D009807 Odontogenic Cysts Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation. Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
D003803 Dentigerous Cyst Most common follicular odontogenic cyst. Occurs in relation to a partially erupted or unerupted tooth with at least the crown of the tooth to which the cyst is attached protruding into the cystic cavity. May give rise to an ameloblastoma and, in rare instances, undergo malignant transformation. Cyst, Dentigerous,Cysts, Dentigerous,Dentigerous Cysts
