Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) differs from conventional ameloblastoma by presenting in the younger population with a lower recurrence rate and has a unilocular appearance on radiograph mimicking dentigerous cysts. Among the three variants of UA, the mural variant has a tendency to recur. Here we present a case of mural variant of UA in a pediatric patient treated conservatively with enucleation followed by application of Carnoy's solution to the cystic cavity. The aim of this case report is to emphasize conservative management in the treatment of UA in pediatric patients considering growth and development in children.
单囊性成釉细胞瘤(UA)与传统成釉细胞瘤不同,它好发于较年轻人群,复发率较低,在X线片上呈单房表现,类似含牙囊肿。在UA的三种变体中,壁性变体有复发倾向。本文报告一例小儿壁性变体UA病例,采用摘除术保守治疗,术后在囊腔内应用卡诺氏液。本病例报告的目的是强调在考虑儿童生长发育的情况下,对小儿UA进行保守治疗。
