Summary
Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a rare soft tissue tumor. This study highlights its features, diagnosis, and treatment, showing a favorable prognosis with complete surgical removal.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Odontogenic tumors
- Surgical oncology
Background:
- Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor with extraosseous localization.
- Understanding its clinical and histological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Observation:
- This study analyzed 8 cases of PA diagnosed over ten years (2011-2021) at a single center.
- The average patient age was 71.4 years.
Findings:
- Peripheral ameloblastoma demonstrates a favorable prognosis, with nearly 100% recovery after complete surgical eradication.
- The incidence in the observed patient sample was 0.26%.
Implications:
- Accurate diagnosis and complete surgical excision are essential for managing peripheral ameloblastoma.
- Regular follow-up is recommended due to the rare possibility of malignant transformation.
