Odontogenic tumours comprise of those neoplasms that arise from odontogenic cells and are restricted to the jaws which clinically manifest as swellings intraorally. Ameloblastoma is one of the odontogenic tumours which can be frequently seen affecting the mandibular third molar regions with an age range of 33 to 44 years. Here we present a case of Ameloblastoma which presented with its “textbook” intraoral presentation and radiographic features along with the unusual finding of single lymph node involvement which can elaborate the differential diagnosis to other tumours including malignant or aggressive transformation of a de novo tumor.

Abstract


Odontogenic tumours comprise of those neoplasms that arise from odontogenic cells and are restricted to the jaws which clinically manifest as swellings intraorally. Ameloblastoma is one of the odontogenic tumours which can be frequently seen affecting the mandibular third molar regions with an age range of 33 to 44 years. Here we present a case of Ameloblastoma which presented with its “textbook” intraoral presentation and radiographic features along with the unusual finding of single lymph node involvement which can elaborate the differential diagnosis to other tumours including malignant or aggressive transformation of a de novo tumor.
