Odontoameloblastoma: report of a case.
Ameloblastic odontoma is a mixed odontogenic tumor, which is characterized as being extremely rare, displaying aggressive clinical behavior, resembling a mixed radiopaque and radiolucent radiographic appearance and containing both ameloblastoma and a composite odontoma. An eleven-year-old boy complaining of the edentulous area at the anterior maxilla, was seen at the Department of Oral Surgery of Ege University Dental Faculty. The lesion presented a radiopaque and radiolucent features on panoramic radiogram. Locally operated lesion was diagnosed as ameloblastic odontoma, because it contains islands of ameloblastoma with calcified dental structures as odontoma. The patient was followed-up for 7 years and no recurrence was seen. This case is presented because of its rarity, early detection in an edentulous area of a child, and the successful choice of treatment.[1]References
