“…This has been corroborated in the new classification from Philipsen and Reichart. 7 In our material, the greatest incidence was of the follicular type (11 cases), compared to plexiform 6 and unicystic, 3 with 19 cases occurring in the mandible location and 1 in the maxilla. The anatomopathological classification of the ameloblastoma is not yet routine, but we are convinced that dealing with the differences in histologic patterns is relevant in establishing surgical procedures, from the simplest biopsies and bone scraping to the most invasive acts.…”

BACKGROUND: Odontogenic ameloblastoma (OA) of the jaws is a rare neoplasia of the oral cavity (0.78%) with a 5:1 mandible/maxilla relation, with the molar region and the ascendant ramus being the most affected areas. Comparing our results with the literature demonstrated to us that this tumor may be considered to be a worldwide problem due to the similarity in clinical findings among different ethnic groups CASE SERIES: The purpose of this study of 20 patients with ameloblastoma of the mandible and maxilla diagnosed at the Stomatology and Head and Neck Services of Heliópolis Hospital, São Paulo, Brazil, from 1980 to 1997, was to establish the histopathologic pattern of classification of those tumors through optical microscopy and the relation of this histopathology to therapeutic management. Using the Regeze, Kerr and Courtney classification (1978), we diagnosed follicular tumor in 11 cases, plexiform in 6 cases and unicystic in 3 cases, and performed surgical resection with a safety margin of 1.5 to 3.0 cm in the follicular and plexiform cases and bone curettage in the unicystic cases.

“…They account for between 1.0 and 32.6% of oral lesions, and are mostly benign. [1][2][3][4] Several studies 5,6,7 have been carried out in Nigeria on the relative frequencies, incidences, clinical features, radiological appearances, histopathological characterization and treatment of these tumours in children and adults, but the report in the literature on the morbidity and complications caused by these relatively benign tumours is scanty. The purpose of this study is to obtain a baseline data for our centre and subsequently compare the results with that obtained elsewhere.…”

SUMMARYBackground: Odontogenic tumours occur in our environment and because of late treatment, cause considerable disabilities. Objective: To review cases of odontogenic tumours in our centre in order to obtain a baseline data and subsequently compare the results with that obtained elsewhere. Patients and methods: Using hospital case files and register, we carried out a 15-year retrospective study of odontogenic tumours at the Dental and Maxillofacial Clinic, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. The data documented include age, gender, duration of lesion, type of tumour, socio-economic class, type of surgery, and complaints during follow-up reviews. Results: Majority of the patients (n=49, 31.4%) were in the third decade of life. There were 85 (54.5%) males and 71 (45.5%) females, giving male to female ratio of 1.2:1. There was a significant association between the type of odontogenic tumour and the age of occurrence (p=0.000). The longer the duration of symptoms before presentation, the larger the tumours (p=0.000). The benign odontogenic tumours were 151 (96.8%), ameloblastoma (n=74, 47.4%) being the commonest. Jaw resection (54.5%) was the predominant treatment. Majority (58.0%) of the complications following treatment were Facial deformity, malocclusion and impaired mastication. Conclusion: Majority of the patients was in the lower socio-economic class, presented late for treatment and a few with aesthetic and functional impairment returned for secondary surgery. The intervention of agencies of government and non-governmental organizations is required to assist these patients if we are to accomplish the core healthcare system values in our environment.

“…Farman et al [4] distinguent entre le myxome odontogène maxillaire et mandibulaire, et suggèrent que l'âge moyen au moment du diagnostic du myxome odontogène maxillaire chez les hommes est de 29,2 ans pour 35,3 ans chez les femmes, alors que le myxome odontogène mandibulaire chez les hommes survient à un âge moyen de 25,8 ans et chez les femmes à 29,3 ans. Gunhan et al [5] et Regezi et al [6] rapportent une incidence plus élevée de ces tumeurs chez les femmes (64-95 %) par rapport aux hommes. Cliniquement, le myxome a une croissance lente, asymptomatique.…”
