Odontoameloblastoma: a case report

Odontoameloblastoma (OA) is an extremely rare mixed odontogenic tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. OA develops from proliferating odontogenic epithelium and mesenchymal tissue. Till date, around 20 cases have fulfilled the histologic criteria of the current World Health Organization (WHO) histologic classification of odontogenic tumors. It affects predominantly young patients with a median age of 20.12 years, and has a predilection for males and occurs in posterior segments of either jaw with slight inclination for mandible. Review of literature shows only three reported cases in the anterior mandible. Here, we report a case of OA in the anterior mandible.

“…One theory suggests that the mineralized dental tissues are formed as a hamartomatous proliferation in response to inductive stimuli produced by the proliferating epithelium over the mesenchymal tissue. [ 13 ] Another possibility is that both an ameloblastoma and an odontoma develop separately and form a collision tumor. This possibility seems unlikely because of the differences between these tumors with respect to age, location and symptoms.…”

Odontoameloblastoma (OA) is an extremely rare odontogenic tumor that contains an ameloblastomatous component together with odontoma-like elements. Till date, very few cases have fulfilled the criteria of the current World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumors. It is characterized by slow, progressively growing lesion with growth pattern similar to solid multi-cystic ameloblastoma. The majority of the tumors are associated with unerupted teeth and commonly seen in males. It is usually asymptomatic and may occur in either maxilla or mandible, but shows a slight predilection for mandible. As this tumor is extremely rare, there exists controversy regarding its treatment. Here, we present a case of OA in 17-year-old female patient resembling a fibro-osseous lesion and a brief review of the related literature.

“…The pathogenesis of OA is unknown. One possible explanation is that the mineralized dental tissues are formed as a hamartomatous proliferation in response to inductive stimuli produced by the proliferating epithelium over the mesenchymal tissue [2,10,11]. Odontoameloblastoma affects predominantly young patients with a median age of 20.12 years; in fact 59 % patients are under the age of 15 years [9].…”

Odontoameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumour, characterised by simultaneous occurrence of an ameloblastoma and a compound or complex odontoma in the same tumoral mass. The tumour is seen in first three decades and affects mandible or maxilla equally, commonly found posterior to the canines. The management is similar to unicystic ameloblastoma and odontoma excision. A long term follow up is a must to observe the recurrence. Here we present a rare case of odontoameloblastoma in a 17 year old male, presenting as an asymptomatic anterior mandibular swelling with chief complaint of missing lower front teeth.
