Multilocular Radiolucencies
(7)
- Ameloblastoma
- Odontogenic Keratocyst
- Central Giant Cell Granuloma
- Odontogenic Myxoma
- Vascular Lesions - Hemangioma
. A-V aneurysm - Familial Fibrous Dysplasia
Ameloblastoma
(2)
Benign odontogenic neoplasm; one of very few true odontogenic neoplasms
Capable of uncontrolled, unlimited
growth potential
Ameloblastoma
Classified into:
(2)
- Conventional (Multicystic)
Ameloblastoma - Unicystic Ameloblastoma
Conventional (Multicystic)
Ameloblastoma
* Account for —% of all ameloblastomas
* — histologic sub-types;
85 – 90
Five
Five histologic sub-types;
- follicular - most common
- also have plexiform, acanthomatous,
granular, desmoplastic and basaloid
Ameloblastoma
Conventional
(3)
- Usually slow painless swellings
- Small lesions only detected by
radiographs - Larger lesions detected clinically
Ameloblastoma
Conventional
Radiographic
(4)
- Small lesions are
unilocular with
corticated borders - Large, aggressive
lesions develop
multilocular patterns - Displace and resorb
teeth - expansive
Ameloblastoma
Conventional
Age
Site
Gender Predilection
Mainly adults – equal prevalence in 3’rd to 7’th decade
Uncommon in 2’nd decade
Rare in 1’st decade
mandible (85%); maxilla (15%)
none
Ameloblastoma
Management
Other
Large lesions are aggressive requiring bone
resection
Higher likelihood for recurrence.
Ameloblastoma
Management
Other
Block or marginal resection; ie resect >1.0cm
past radiographic limits of tumor
15% recurrence
50-90% recurrence if not resected
Rare to be malignant
Unicystic Ameloblastoma
(3)
- arise within a cyst lining; either luminal,
intraluminal or mural - less aggressive form of ameloblastoma
- Recurrence rates of 10-20%
Ameloblastoma
Radiographic

- expansive

Odontogenic Keratocyst
Pathophysiology
(3)
- 10-12% of all odontogenic cysts; 3’rd
highest oral cyst frequency - aggressive cysts; behave more like
benign neoplasms - thought to arise from cell rests of dental
lamina
OKC
Clinical
(2)
- Normally asymptomatic
- With increasing size, pain, swelling and
exudate may oocur
