The occurrence of unicystic ameloblastoma has been studied in 20 patients presenting with unilocular cystic lesions whose clinical, radiographic and gross features were those on non-neoplastic cysts. In the majority of these, the lesion mimicked dentigerous cyst. The rate of recurrence for this group of lesions as determined by long term follow-up observation available for the majority of patients was distinctly lower than that associated with multicystic character of the lesion throughout its course, is indicative of a much less aggressive variety of neoplasm. The adequacy of simple enucleation as a modality of treatment in the majority of patients with this type of lesion is suggested. It was not possible to answer the question whether or not the ameloblastoma began in antecedent non-neoplastic cyst.
对20例表现为单房囊性病变的患者进行了研究，这些病变的临床、影像学和大体特征与非肿瘤性囊肿相似。其中大多数病例中，病变类似含牙囊肿。根据大多数患者的长期随访观察确定，这组病变的复发率明显低于病变在整个病程中具有多囊性特征时的复发率，这表明该肿瘤的侵袭性要小得多。提示对于大多数此类病变患者，单纯摘除术作为一种治疗方式是足够的。无法回答成釉细胞瘤是否起源于先前的非肿瘤性囊肿这一问题。
