Ameloblastomas are common in Niger. Their main risk is recurrence, which nearly always follows inadequate surgery: these tumors require radical excision followed with mandibular graft. A preoperative diagnosis is therefore indispensable. X-ras are non-specific. In Niger, the danger of osteomyelitis makes surgical biopsies dangerous. The attention is brought to the existence of gum lesions in 8 cases of ameloblastoma in Nigerian patients. Their biopsy may provide the diagnosis in quick and safe conditions.
成釉细胞瘤在尼日尔很常见。其主要风险是复发，复发几乎总是由于手术不充分所致：这些肿瘤需要根治性切除并进行下颌骨移植。因此，术前诊断必不可少。X线表现不具特异性。在尼日尔，骨髓炎的风险使得手术活检具有危险性。本文关注了尼日利亚患者中8例成釉细胞瘤患者牙龈病变的存在情况。对其进行活检可在快速且安全的条件下作出诊断。
