Plexiform Ameloblastoma with Acanthomatous Changes: A Rare Case Report
1Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, India.
Summary
Ameloblastoma, a common oral tumor, presents diverse types and can be aggressive. This case report details a rare combined lesion diagnosed as plexiform ameloblastoma with acanthomatous changes.
Area of Science:
- Oral Pathology
- Oncology
- Dentistry
Background:
- Ameloblastoma is a frequent odontogenic tumor with varied presentations.
- This tumor is known for its aggressive nature and high recurrence rate.
- Histological variants, including solid types, can occur alone or in combination with other lesions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of combined odontogenic lesions.
- To highlight the histopathological diagnosis of plexiform ameloblastoma with acanthomatous changes.
- To emphasize the importance of reporting such rare entities for improved diagnostics and patient outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Case report presentation.
- Detailed histopathological examination.
- Review of relevant literature.
Main Results:
- A rare combined lesion with subtle clinical presentation was identified.
- Histopathological diagnosis confirmed plexiform ameloblastoma with acanthomatous changes.
- This specific combination of lesions is infrequently documented.
Conclusions:
- Rare combined odontogenic tumors require thorough histopathological evaluation.
- Reporting scarce lesions like plexiform ameloblastoma with acanthomatous changes aids diagnostic refinement.
- Regular follow-up is crucial for optimizing surgical outcomes and minimizing patient morbidity.
