📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
PURPOSE: In this study, 3 patients who had ameloblastoma was treated in our clinic which were presented with their clinical and radiological signs. Surgical approach for ameloblastoma was discussed. METHOD: The ameloblastoma originates from odontogenic ectodermal epithelium with differentiation into ameloblasts. Conservative curettage and exicion was performed for the mandibular mass. These patients were folllowed to 11 months. RESULTS: No recurrens of the mass was observed in the following time. Clinical signs improved more rapidly than radiological evidence. CONCLUSIONS: Radical surgical interventions which include mandibulectomy and bone graft or flap may be planned in the recurrent cases.
Özet
AMAÇ: Çalışmada, mandibulada kitle nedeniyle kliniğimizde tedavi edilen 3 ameloblastoma olgusunun bulguları ve tedavisi sunulup, cerrahi yaklaşım değerlendirildi. YÖNTEM: Ameloblastoma, odontojenik kökenli ektodermal epitelin ameloblastlara diferansiye olması sonucunda gelişen bir tümördür. Kitle eksizyonu ve küretaj uygulanan hastalar ortalama 11 ay takip edildi. SONUÇ: Radyolojik bulguların düzelmesinin, klinik bulgulardan daha yavaş olduğu belirlendi. Sık kontrol muayenesi yapılan hastalarda nüks görülmedi. YORUM: Tedavide, mandibulektomi ve kemik grefti yada flebini içeren radikal cerrahi girişimlerin nüks gösteren olgularda planlanabileceği düşünüldü.
