Özet
Ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumour. Its exact etiology is still unknown. It develops from the remnants of the dental lamina and dental epithelium. It is most frequently observed in the angulus-ramus region of the mandible. The prognosis of ameloblastoma depends on the age of the patient, size and expansion of the tumour, the location of the lesion and histological type. Current diagnostic investigations include clinical examination, histological evaluation and many imaging techniques from conventional x-ray radio-graphs to Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT). It is vital to utilize advanced imaging methods for preoperative diagnosis, surgery planning, and postoperative follow-up. However, panoramic radiographs which give an advantage concerning dose provides limited information to follow up patients due to artefacts. Ultrasonography may show promise to detect any recurrent or relapse at follow-up period.
