The ameloblastoma is benign odontogen tumour developed from epithelial remains of MALASSEZ. Because of the inclination to invade in an inexorable way all the surrounding tissues and of the faculty of recurrence after removal, one attributes him the qualifier of good-hearted tumour to local wickedness. The mandibulary localization is the most frequent. Toward the maxillary, it is mostly observed in the tuberosity region. The authors report in the work one case of ameloblastoma developed from the pericoronal cyst of an intrasinusal ectopic canine tooth.
成釉细胞瘤是一种由马拉瑟上皮剩余发展而来的良性牙源性肿瘤。由于其有不可阻挡地侵袭周围所有组织的倾向以及切除后复发的能力，人们赋予它“局部恶性的良性肿瘤”这一称谓。下颌骨是最常见的发病部位。在上颌骨，大多发生于结节区域。作者在该研究中报告了1例由鼻窦内异位尖牙的冠周囊肿发展而来的成釉细胞瘤病例。
