Abstract
MARTIN-GRANIZO LOPEZ, Rafael; LOPEZ GARCIA-ASENJO, José; PEDRO MARINA, Manuel de and DOMINGUEZ CUADRADO, Lara. Odontoameloblastoma: A case report and a review of the literature. Med. oral patol. oral cir. bucal (Ed.impr.) [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.4, pp.340-344. ISSN 1698-4447.
Odontoameloblastoma (OA) is an extremely rare mixed odontogenic tumor appearing within the maxillary bone, with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. The term odontoameloblastoma (OA) was included in the 1971s WHO classification. Only 23 well-documented cases have been reported in the medical literature. Because of their rarity, controversy exists in the treatment of this tumor. We present a new case of OA involving the mandible mimicking a compound odontoma and a brief review of the related literature.
Keywords : Odontoameloblastoma; ameloblastic odontoma; compound odontoma; composite odontoma.
