Computed tomography in the diagnosis and treatment of mandibular ameloblastoma: Report of cases

Diagnostic efficacy of three-dimensional images by helical CT for lesions in the maxillofacial region.

“…However, the structure of the maxillofacial region is very complex. Therefore, conventional radiological examination is not especially useful because of the overlapping of the surrounding bony complex (5). In recent years, helical (spiral) CT has been used to examine the maxillofacial region (2).…”

Orbital invasion of ameloblastoma: A systematic review apropos of a rare entity

“… 40 Particularly, in diagnosing the desmoplastic type, the MRI plays a pivotal role due to poor defined soft tissue extensions in addition to the similarity to fibro-osseous lesions. 41 …”

Recurrent Unicystic Ameloblastoma of the Infratemporal and Temporal Fossa

“…Cohen et al5 aptly described the need for advanced imaging in lesions with infratemporal area spread due to their anatomic complexity and surgical inaccessibility. Treatment of ameloblastoma is usually based on clinical manifestations and radiological features.…”

“…The value of routine radiographs in determining the extent of the lesion may be limited as the three-dimensional spread may not be apparent. Cohen et al5 described four cases of mandibular ameloblastoma that were studied using axial and coronal CT. According to the authors, the soft-tissue mass, destruction of cortical bone, and extension of tumor into the infratemporal fossa and adjacent structures were clearly visualized.…”
