ARGANDONA POZO, Juan e ESPINOZA YANEZ, Jorge. Conservative treatment of unicystic ameloblastoma: Case report and literature review. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.2, pp.88-92. ISSN 2173-9161.
Ameloblastoma is defined as a locally aggressive, infiltrating tumor with high recurrence capacity. This aggressive and infiltrating behavior conditions the choice of conservative or radical therapy and the functional, cosmetic and psychological consequences of this choice. Unicystic ameloblastoma is described as a lesion with specific morphological pictures, less aggressive biological behavior than common ameloblastoma and less recurrence with conservative therapy. A case of unicystic ameloblastoma treated conservatively by decompression and enucleation is reported. The therapeutic options are reviewed.
