Dental lesions represent about 1% of oral cavity tumors being ameloblastoma the most common one. It is a tumor of epithelial origin that mainly affects the jaw, and less commonly the maxilla. Its clinical presentation is that of an asymptomatic slow-growing tumor. Despite being a benign tumor, it has an invasive behavior with a high rate of recurrence if not treated properly.
To describe the cases of ameloblastoma in a reference department.
Retrospective analysis of 40 cases. The variables analyzed were: age, gender, ethnicity, tumor location, type of treatment, complications and recurrence.
The most affected gender was male - 21 cases (52.5%); with a predominance of Caucasians - 24 cases (60%). The mean age was 35.45 years; the most common location was in the jaw - 37 cases (92.5%). Facial asymmetry was the most frequent complaint. Of the 40 cases, 33 were submitted to surgery. Of those submitted to surgery, 24 (72.72%) underwent segmental resection, with recurrence in 4 (12.12%) cases.
Ameloblastoma may relapse when treatment is not performed with broad surgical resection of the lesion with wide safety margins.
口腔肿瘤中约有 1%为牙源性肿瘤,其中最常见的是成釉细胞瘤。它是一种来源于上皮组织的肿瘤,主要影响颌骨,较少见于上颌骨。其临床表现为无症状、缓慢生长的肿瘤。尽管成釉细胞瘤是一种良性肿瘤,但如果治疗不当,具有侵袭性,且复发率较高。
描述一个参考科室中成釉细胞瘤的病例。
回顾性分析 40 例患者。分析的变量包括:年龄、性别、种族、肿瘤位置、治疗类型、并发症和复发情况。
受影响最多的性别是男性-21 例(52.5%);以白种人为主-24 例(60%)。平均年龄为 35.45 岁;最常见的位置是在颌骨-37 例(92.5%)。面部不对称是最常见的主诉。在 40 例患者中,有 33 例接受了手术治疗。在接受手术治疗的患者中,有 24 例(72.72%)接受了节段性切除术,其中 4 例(12.12%)复发。
当未广泛切除肿瘤且边缘安全范围较宽时,成釉细胞瘤可能会复发。
