| Popis: | A 58-year-old woman was referred because of a swelling in the anterior mandible associated with displacement of teeth and discomfort in the area. Medical history showed hypertension. Clinical examination revealed a 2.0-cm bluish swelling in the alveolar mucosa of the anterior mandible with hard consistency. Panoramic and periapical radiographs revealed a 3.0-cm well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion in the anterior mandible. Vitality tests showed that some teeth associated with the lesion presented normal results, while others showed negative responses. Clinical diagnoses were glandular odontogenic cyst and ameloblastoma, and an incisional biopsy was performed. Histologic diagnosis was compatible with unicystic ameloblastoma, and the patient was submitted to a conservative surgical removal of the lesion. Final diagnosis confirmed unicystic ameloblastoma, and the patient is under clinical and radiologic follow-up. Histologic analysis showed different relationships of the tumor with the roots of adjacent teeth. |
