Ameloblastoma arising in the wall of dentigerous cyst: Report of a rare entity

Abstract: Dentigerous cyst (DC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth by expansion of its follicle with accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown and is attached to the neck of the tooth. The lining of DCs shows a potential for neoplastic transformation to ameloblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Here, we report a rare case of an ameloblastoma arising in the wall of a DC.

“…Although PIOC, NOS includes tumors arising in odontogenic precursor lesions, reports of odontogenic tumors derived from precursor lesions are very limited, and most of them have features of OSCC [1]. Some cases of ameloblastoma arising in the wall of dentigerous cysts have been reported [12,13]. Except for dentigerous cysts, only a few cases of ameloblastoma arising in glandular odontogenic cysts have been reported [14].…”

“…17 Larger lesions may be treated with marsupialization to relieve the pressure that originates from cystic fluid and to prevent damage to the involved teeth. 7 If untreated, cyst epithelium can rarely turn into ameloblastoma 18 , squamous cell carcinoma or mucoepidermoid carcinoma. 5,17 In our case, lesions were enucleated and cyst-associated teeth were extracted.…”
