TY - JOUR TI - The Clinical and Histological Analysis of 140 Cases of Ameloblastoma: An Emphasis to Histological Variants AB - Objektive: The objective of this study is to evaluate theclinical and demographic features of ameloblastoma cases of a pathology center with a detailed examination of the histopathological properties of the subtypes and variants. Material and Methods: The clinicaland radiological data and histologic slides of ameloblastoma cases diagnosed and treated between 2005 and 2017 were retrieved from thearchives. Histopathological features of previously diagnosed cases werere-evaluated and re-classification of all cases was performed in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) classification ofodontogenic tumors. The significance of the relationship between radiological appearance (multiocularity/unilocularity) and final histological diagnosis (solid/unicystic) was evaluated with statistical analysis.Results: There were a total of a hundred and forty cases of ameloblastoma. A hundred and twenty (85.7%) cases were diagnosed as solidtype. Sixteen (11.4%) cases were diagnosed as unilocular ameloblastoma. Three cases showed admixed histopathological characteristics.There was a significant relationship between radiological appearanceand histological diagnosis (p=0.005). All recurrent luminal unicysticameloblastomas were re-diagnosed as mural subtype in the histopathological examination. Conclusion: The presence of rare variants shouldbe diagnosed correctly with a thorough histopathological examinationto contribute to the prognosis. The radiographic appearance of thetumor is correlated with the histological subtype. In the examination ofrecurrent unicystic cases, the surgical specimen should be entirely inspected to indicate mural ameloblastic invasions.
