Recurrent ameloblastoma following osseous reconstruction – A review of twenty years

Delayed soft tissue recurrence after treatment of ameloblastoma in a black African: Case report and review of the literature

“…The tumour does not show a sexual predilection. Among 47 patients, the female to male ratio was 1.1:1 (Eckardt et al, 2009). The main histological types of ameloblastoma are follicular and plexiform with subtypes acanthomatous, spindle cell, granular cell, basal cell and desmoplastic (Waldron and El-Mofty, 1987;Reichart et al, 1995;Kovács et al, 1999).…”

“…Ameloblastoma can occur at any age, but most cases are seen between the 3rd and 5th decades (Olaitan et al, 1998;Abu-El-Naaj et al, 2008;Eckardt et al, 2009). The tumour does not show a sexual predilection.…”

While surgical treatment is the acceptable form of treatment, Eckardt et al (2009) note that opinions vary as to how radical it should be. However, adequate therapy necessitates a compromise between the least destructive treatment possible for a benign tumour and a suitably radical method for preventing a recurrence (Eckardt et al, 2009).…”

Analysis of Histological Variants of Ameloblastomas of Jaws in Relation to their Clinical Presentations

“…The recurrence rate may range from 15.9% to 20.6 % 14 . It is known that recurrences can take longer than 20 years to become apparent and, therefore, the eventual recurrence rate may be higher 15 .…”
