    Study Notes

    Ameloblastic Fibroma and Ameloblastic Fibro-odontoma

    • Location: Mandibular molar-ramus region
    • Age: Mean age 12 years, upper limit 40 years
    • Gender: No gender predilection
    • Radiographic Feature: Lesions well-circumscribed, usually surrounded by a sclerotic margin. May be unilocular or multilocular, associated with the crown of an impacted tooth. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma shows an opaque focus due to odontoma; ameloblastic fibroma is completely radiolucent.
    • Histopathologic Feature: Lesions are lobulated, usually surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Tumor mass composed of myxoid connective tissue. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma may have one or more foci containing enamel and dentin.
    • Differential Diagnosis (for Fibroma): Ameloblastoma, odontogenic myxoma, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, central giant cell granuloma, histiocytes.
    • Differential Diagnosis (for Fibro-odontoma): CEOT (Calcifying odontogenic cyst), developing odontoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.
    • Treatment: Conservative surgical procedure
    • Prognosis: Good, recurrence uncommon

    Odontoma

    • Age: Children and young adults, discovered in the 2nd decade, the age range extends into later adulthood. Deciduous & impacted teeth are common
    • Gender: No gender predilection
    • Clinical Feature: Clinical signs are suggestive of an odontoma, with retained deciduous teeth or impacted teeth, alveolar swelling, asymptomatic conditions.
    • Radiographic Feature: Compound shows numerous tiny teeth in a single focus; roots or over the crown of an impacted tooth. Complex odontoma is amorphous, opaque mass in the region.
    • Histopathologic Feature: Normal appearing enamel, dentin, and pulp in these lesions.
    • Differential Diagnosis: Focal sclerosing osteitis, osteoma, periapical cemental dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, cementoblastoma
    • Treatment: Enucleation
    • Prognosis: Good, no recurrence.

    Ameloblastic Odontoma

    • Age: Any age, children, 19 years old, known for some months to years prior
    • Gender: No gender predilection
    • Clinical Feature: Slowly expanding lesion, facial deformity, bone destruction (mild pain), delayed tooth eruption.
    • Radiographic Feature: Presence of numerous radiopaque masses.
    • Histopathologic Feature: Consists of a great variety of cells and tissues in a complex distribution.
    • Differential Diagnosis: Similar to ameloblastoma.
    • Treatment: Same as ameloblastoma
    • Prognosis: Expect recurrence if not totally removed.

    Teratoma

    • Location: Ovaries, testes, mediastinum, retroperitoneal area, pineal head, neck.

    • Histopathologic Feature: Made up of different tissues such as hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, salivary glands, and teeth.
    • Differential Diagnosis: Dermoid cysts
    • Treatment: Conservative surgical excision
    • Prognosis: Good, no recurrence.

    Ossifying Fibroma

    • Location: Head and neck (jaws & craniofacial bones). Specifically mandible premolar - molar region.
    • Age: 3rd and 4th decade of female life.
    • Gender: Female
    • Clinical Feature: Slow growing, asymptomatic, expansive lesion, causes thinning of buccal and cortical plates.
    • Radiographic Feature: Well-circumscribed, sharply defined border (LUCENT)
    • Histopathologic Feature: Composed of fibrous connective tissue with well-differentiated spindle fibroblast
    • Differential Diagnosis: Fibrous dysplasia, osteoblastoma, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, focal osteomyelitis.
    • Treatment: Surgical removal (curettage or enucleation).
    • Prognosis: Good.

    Fibrous Dysplasia

    • Location: Maxilla more frequent than mandible; may extend to involve maxillary sinus, zygoma, sphenoid bone, and floor of the orbit.
    • Age: First or second decade of life
    • Gender: More frequent in females
    • Clinical Feature: Asymptomatic, slow enlargement, presents as unilateral swelling, facial asymmetry, displacement of teeth, malocclusion, interference with tooth eruption.

    • Histopathologic Feature: Slight to moderate cellular fibrous connective tissue stroma. Features fibrillar bony trabecular bone
    • Differential Diagnosis: Ossifying fibroma; chronic osteomyelitis.
    • Treatment: Small lesion: no treatment. Large lesion: surgical recontouring, block resection for complete removal.
    • Prognosis: Malignant transformation is rare (less than 1% of cases). Good prognosis possible.

    Osteoblastoma/Osteoid Osteoma

    • Location: Posterior tooth-bearing regions of the maxilla and mandible, vertebrae, & long bones.
    • Age: 2nd decade of life; 90% of lesions before age 30

    • Prognosis: Good.

    Osteoma

    • Gender: Equal incidence in genders
    • Clinical Feature: Usually solitary, headaches, recurrent sinusitis, ophthalmologic complaints (depending on the lesion location), periosteal osteoma -asymptomatic, slow-growing, bony (hard masses), endosteal is discovered during routine examination as dense radiopacities.

    • Histopathologic Feature: Composed of relatively dense, compact bone, sparse marrow tissue, lamellar trabeculae of cancellous bone, with abundant fibrofatty marrow.
    • Differential Diagnosis: Exostoses of jaws, osteoblastoma, osteoid osteoma, odontoma
    • Treatment: Surgical excision.
    • Prognosis: Good.

    Chondroma

    • Location: Maxilla - anterior region, mandible - body & symphysis, coronoid process, and condyle
    • Age: Before age 50
    • Gender: Equal incidence in genders
    • Clinical Feature: Painless, slowly progressive, growing swelling, rarely resulting in mucosal ulceration
    • Radiographic Feature: Irregular radiolucent area
    • Histopathologic Feature: Consists of well-defined lobules of mature hyaline cartilage.
