“…Unicystic ameloblastoma is radiologically characterized by a unilocular aspect and it is less aggressive than the solid type, but has the potential for recurrence [2] But in the present case, the pathology had involved the left maxillary sinus which is evident in radiograph. And there is greater rotation of permanent tooth bud than that found with a dentigerous cyst.…”

“…Bansal et al [3] stated that the occurrence of ameloblastoma was 15.2% (39/256) in patients aged under 18 yrs, similar to Olaitan and Adekeye (14.6%) [8]. The mandible was the most common site of occurrence in all races; 225 (96.6%) tumors were encountered in the mandible and 8 (3.4%) in the maxilla, with an overall mandible:maxilla ratio of 28.1:1 [2].…”

“…In children, the treatment is complicated by three factors: 1) continuing facial growth, different bone physiology (greater percentage of cancellous bone, increased bone turnover and reactive periostium) and presence of unerupted teeth; 2) difficulty in initial diagnosis; and 3) predominance of the unicystic type of ameloblastoma [2].…”

“…Ameloblastomas are benign tumours which grow slowly but have the potential to enlarge to enormous size even causing deformity of bone [1]. Although, it is one of the most common benign odontogenic tumour, it is considered to be rarity in pediatric age group [2,3].…”

Most of the times paediatric patients report to the clinics with a chief complaint of decayed teeth, associated with pain and sometimes swellings, which regress after proper treatment. But dentist should be aware of unusual and rare pathologic conditions in children. These conditions sometimes are associated with hidden aggressive nature. These unusual and rare kinds of clinical conditions should also be included in differential diagnosis. Present case shows inadvertent finding of Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) in paediatric patient, which was asymptomatic and aggressive in nature. This case report shows diagnosis and surgical management of such type of lesions in paediatric patients.

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to report experience of Department of Oromaxillofacial-Head and Neck Surgery, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Stomatology, China Medical University in the treatment of ameloblastoma in children and young people and to discuss the treatment regimen. And review the world literature on the treatment of ameloblastoma in children and adolescents from 1986.A total of 227 patients were recorded of which, 30 (13.21%) were below the age of 18 years, with a diagnosis of ameloblastoma in our hospital between January 1994 to June 2011. The study included the patient's age, gender, lesion location, clinical features, radiographic appearance, treatment, recurrences and course of follow-up.30 cases of children and adolescents ameloblastoma patients, 19 males and 11 females, male to female ratio was 1.7:1, the average age of 14.5 years. 28 cases of lesions in the mandible, only 2 cases occurred in the maxilla. Clinical typing included 21(70%) solid type and 9(30%) unicystic type. 7 (23.33%) patients were treated with radical treatment, 23 (76.67%) cases underwent conservative method. 7 (23.33%) cases were recurrent, of which 6 cases of recurrence once, and 1 patient had 2 recurrences. Desired results can be reached in the treatment of ameloblastoma in children and adolescents using conservative measure, and can reduce the incidence of maxillofacial deformity and dysfunction. Determine the treatment required to consider many factors. Patient compliance and complete follow-up are important.

Pediatric jaw tumors are rare lesions most commonly presenting with a swelling or mass. Patients can be asymptomatic with the lesion identified on routine imaging. Certain clinical features such as age, location of tumor, and presence or absence of bone and soft tissue can narrow the differential diagnosis and identify tumors that may be malignant. Incisional biopsy is an important first step. A majority of jaw tumors are benign but require surgical intervention for eradication of disease. Multiple procedures, including reconstruction, may be required for certain lesions prior to cure.
