Abstract: The use of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors seems to have attracted little attention. The presence of a firm preoperative diagnosis helps preventing suboptimal surgery, contributing to avoid recurrence of these tumors. A case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the mandible diagnosed by FNAB is presented in this report, illustrating its effectiveness for preoperative diagnosis of odontogenic tumors. A 74-year-old female presented with a painless swelling in the right mandibu… Show more

“…In the majority of cases, a radiolucent intraosseous lesion is revealed (1,5), as was demonstrated in the present case. In our case study, the radiographical appearance of the lesion was consistent with that of an ameloblastoma except for the presence of some focal radiopacities, apparently reflecting the dystrophic calcifications revealed by CT.…”

“…Thus, FNAC was performed for the diagnosis of CGCG. The role of this simple technique in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial lesions has increased dramatically in the last years especially because of its proven safety, accuracy and cost-effectiveness (20)(21)(22)(23). Reviewing the English-language literature it is possible to find out several articles describing the value of FNAC in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial lesions and evaluating its efficacy in the diagnosis of giant cell lesions of the jaws (5-7).…”
