Hemangiomatous ameloblastoma has long been explicated as a divergent of solid multicystic ameloblastoma (SMA). Described first by Kuhn in 1932, it is histologically distinct from a conventional ameloblastoma by the presence of spaces filled with blood or large endothelial lined capillaries. Less than 12 cases have been reported till date and mostly in the middle-aged population with a predilection for the mandibular posterior region. The unlikeness of the case being reported here is the fact that it was manifested in a 16-year-old teenage girl. Being an extraordinary version of SMA, very little is known about its behavior and prognosis. In the following case report, we try to annotate the clinical, radiological, and the histological features that lead us to the diagnosis of hemangiomatous ameloblastoma with dentinoid formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
