“…The diagnosis for this lesion cannot be predicted before microscopic examination of the lesion since there are several histological variants, such as follicular, plexiform, unicystic and desmoplastic (Kumar, 2014). The differential diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma is usually associated with dentiger cyst or odontogenic keratocyst (Park, Canção, Seo, Lee, & Kim, 2014).…”

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin with slow, asymptomatic, rare growth and is associated with a high rate of recurrence, being responsible for 1% of mandibular tumors. There are several variations of these tumors, with solid / multicystic and unicystic types being the most recurrent. The signs are discrete and rarely noticed by the patient in the early stages. In the imaging examination, it presents itself as a well-delimited radiolucent image, which may be associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth, resorption of adjacent roots and vestibular-lingual medullary expansion. In the literature, the most appropriate treatment for the management of such pathology is still controversial, since there are conservative philosophies such as curettage, marsupialization (decompression) and defending currents of the radical surgical approach through resection with a safety margin. This study aims to report a case of curettage of follicular unicystic ameloblastoma with a single incidence of recurrence and treated again by means of a conservative surgical approach and continuing with a 19-year clinical preservation, without any clinical or imaging signs of recurrence.

“…Ainda, o mesmo estudo comparou os valores diagnósticos da radiografia panorâmica, da TC melhorada por contraste e da ressonância magnética, concluindo que estes últimos são essenciais para a distinção entre AU e outras lesões císticas 4 . Apesar se sua importância para suspeita radiológica, apenas a TC ou outra ferramenta clínica é insuficiente para determinação do diagnóstico conclusivo de AU 12 .…”

“…Uma vez que nenhuma das características clínicas ou radiográficas descritas são exclusivas do AU, o diagnóstico para esta lesão não pode ser predito antes do exame histológico da lesão inteira 12 . A microscopia dos AUs revela a presença de uma cápsula conjuntiva revestida por um epité-lio ameloblástico, com células colunares de polaridade invertida e com núcleos hipercromáticos, dispostas em paliçada 10 .…”

Objetivo: Relatar um caso de Ameloblastoma Unicístico em região anterior de mandíbula, descrevendo os métodos diagnósticos utilizados e o tratamento empregado. Relato de Caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, 40 anos de idade, compareceu ao serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal da Bahia, com queixas de aumento de volume em região anterior de mandíbula, com evolução de 10 meses. O exame de imagem revelou lesão unilocular extensa que expandia cortical óssea em região de mento. Optou-se pela biópsia excisional da lesão, sob anestesia geral. O exame o espécime obtido confirmou o diagnóstico de Ameloblastoma Unicístico, para o qual decidiu-se pela manutenção da terapêutica inicial. A paciente segue em acompanhamento pela equipe, sem sinais de recidivas. Considerações Finais: O manejo do Ameloblastoma Unicístico por vezes demanda a biópsia excisional da lesão a fim de diferencia-la dos cistos odontogênicos e de individualizar seu padrão histológico. A abordagem conservadora pode ser adotada, desde que um acompanhamento rigoroso seja procedido.

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a benign, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm of young age which can develop during the stage of tooth formation and hence its early inception and vast proliferation is not uncommon in this age group, due to which it can grow into a huge lesion causing significant morbidity. Conservative surgical management may be a viable option to reduce morbidity and increase the probability of uneventful secondary healing and bone regeneration in the younger population.
