A periapical radiolucency initially treated as dental pathology was diagnosed as solid ameloblastoma. This required extensive surgery, highlighting the need for vigilance and histopathological analysis of all periapical tissues.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Periapical radiolucency diagnosis can be challenging.
  • Solid ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor.
  • Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old female presented with periapical radiolucency.
  • Initial treatment involved root canal therapy and apicoectomy.
  • Curetted tissue revealed a solid ameloblastoma.

Findings:

  • Initial marginal excision of the ameloblastoma was insufficient.
  • Histopathology confirmed tumor at the inferior margin.
  • Segmental mandibulectomy with iliac crest free tissue transfer was necessary.

Implications:

  • Vigilance in diagnosing periapical pathology is essential.
  • Mandatory histopathological analysis of all surgical specimens is critical.
  • Aggressive management may be required for ameloblastomas with positive margins.
