Odontoameloblastoma (OA) is an extremely rare mixed odontogenic tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. OA develops from proliferating odontogenic epithelium and mesenchymal tissue. Till date, around 20 cases have fulfilled the histologic criteria of the current World Health Organization (WHO) histologic classification of odontogenic tumors. It affects predominantly young patients with a median age of 20.12 years, and has a predilection for males and occurs in posterior segments of either jaw with slight inclination for mandible. Review of literature shows only three reported cases in the anterior mandible. Here, we report a case of OA in the anterior mandible.
牙源性成釉细胞瘤(OA)是一种极其罕见的具有上皮和间充质成分的混合性牙源性肿瘤。OA由增殖的牙源性上皮和间充质组织发展而来。迄今为止,约有20例病例符合世界卫生组织(WHO)当前牙源性肿瘤组织学分类的组织学标准。它主要影响年轻患者,中位年龄为20.12岁,男性更易发病,发生于上下颌的后部,稍倾向于下颌骨。文献回顾显示,仅在前下颌骨有3例报道病例。在此,我们报告1例前下颌骨牙源性成釉细胞瘤病例。
