| Popis: | Two cases of an unusual odontogenic tumor have been presented. Both lesions were considered to be ameloblastic fibromas with extensive granular-cell change in the mesodermal component. The patients were considerably older than the typical patient with ameloblastic fibroma. We suggest that the granular-cell alteration in the mesodermal component represents an aging or degenerative response in the lesion. These lesions possibly are related to the granular-cell congenital epulis. The granular-cell ameloblastic fibroma appears to be a quite benign lesion, and curettage is probably sufficient for cure. |
