섬유성 골이형성증을 동반한 법랑아세포종의 외과적 치험례

Abstract

The ameloblastoma is a slowly growing, locally invasive, benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. This is a case of 16-year-old Korean male with the mural ameloblastoma of the right mandible accompanying fibrous dysplasia. Chief complaint of the patient was severe swelling of the right mandible and facial asymmetry. Enucleation of the cyst and contouring of expanded cortical plate was done via submandibular approcah. Diagnosis was established by histologic examination after enucleation of the lesion. Follow-up progress is good and more long-term observation is required. A brief review of related literature was made.
