“…Ameloblastoma is a benign, but locally invasive tumor with a high tendency to recur. These lesions may derive from the remnants of dental lamina, from a developing enamel organ, from the epithelial lining of a preexisting odontogenic cyst, or from the basal cells of the oral mucosa 11…”

“…There are 2 approaches to treatment: conservative and radical. The conservative approach involves enucleation in conjunction with other adjuncts, such as the use of liquid nitrogen, cryotherapy, chemical cautery, or curettage with peripheral ostectomy 11161718. Radical approach includes surgical resection with wide margins of uninvolved bone and soft tissue.…”

Maxillary ameloblastoma in an 8-year-old child: A case report with a review of the literature

et al. 2019

Ameloblastoma is a benign locally invasive tumor with a high tendency to recur. It is considered rare in the pediatric population, with most cases diagnosed in the third to fifth decades of life. Approximately 80% of ameloblastomas occur in the molar and ramus region of the mandible, while 20% of cases occur in the maxillary posterior region. This report presents a case of plexiform ameloblastoma in an uncommon location in an 8-year-old child. The lesion was initially thought to be a dentigerous cyst, based on its location and radiographic appearance. The clinical and radiographic features, histopathology, and treatment of solid, plexiform, maxillary ameloblastoma are reviewed, with an added emphasis on a literature review of ameloblastoma in children. This report emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up, since recurrence may occur many years after initial tumor removal.

“…Payne et al [ 2 ] suggested that extensive surgical resection and reconstruction can greatly affect the growth of the craniofacial skeletal region in the paediatric population. In our case, we have performed hemimandibulectomy followed by reconstruction with free fibular graft to overcome the functional and aesthetic disturbances.…”

“…Based on its size, anatomical location, histological variant, and involvement of lesion in adjacent anatomical areas, there are varying treatment modalities available for these tumors [ 1 ]. In paediatric population, the occurrence of ameloblastomas is about 10%–15% [ 2 ].…”

Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing, benign odontogenic tumor derived from odontogenic epithelial components with a mature fibrous stroma. It is the second most common odontogenic neoplasm following odontome. Acanthomatous ameloblastoma histologically presents with squamous epithelial metaplastic transformation of odontogenic tissue. The present case report of a 12-year-old male exclusively elaborates the issues concerned with the aggressive nature of acanthomatous ameloblastoma (AA) which is a distinctive variant of ameloblastoma.

“…Other considerations were ameloblastoma, which would typically present with expansile uni-or multilocular radiolucent lesions, [3] and cherubism, which would present with expansile multilocular lytic lesions secondary to bony replacement by fibrous tissue. [4] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done for better delineation of the lesion.…”

Langerhans cell histiocytosis: vanishing mandible in a 10-year-old

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare idiopathic disorder that results in tissue destruction due to the intense and abnormal proliferation of histiocytes. It affects numerous organs, but isolated mandibular osteolysis has not been previously reported as an initial manifestation of this disease. This paper aims to describe an unusual presentation of LCH in the mandible of a 10-year-old girl initially assessed to have Gorham's disease based on clinical and imaging findings. Computerized tomography (CT) scan and MRI showed extensive lysis and resorption of the mandible, with note of a contrast-enhancing soft-tissue mass in the right maxillary sinus. Incisional biopsy and histopathologic examination were performed, and the diagnosis of LCH was established and confirmed by S100 and CD1-a immunostaining positivity. The patient underwent chemotherapy with vinblastine and prednisone which eventually resulted in reconstitution of the patient's mandible. LCH should be considered as a differential in a patient presenting with signs and symptoms of Gorham's disease.
