Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm originating from odontogenic epithelium. It is the most common neoplasm in the jaws and is characterized by aggressive behavior and local invasion. Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) has a unilocular feature in radiologic examination and a cystic feature histologically. Decompression and marsupialization are conservative method of treatment of large UA. The purpose of decompression and marsupialization are size reduction of the mass, which makes it easy to handle at total enucleation with protection of nerve damage and facial deformity. Here we report successful conservative treatment of extensive UA using decompression and marsupialization with a review of literatures.

법랑아 세포종은 치성 상피에서 기인한 양성 종양의 일종이다. 하악골에 가장 흔하게 발생하는 양성종양이며 공격적인 성장과 국소적 침범의 특징을 가진다. 그 중 단방성 법랑아 세포종은 방사선학적으로는 단방성의 특징을 가지며 병리학적으로는 낭종의 특징을 가진다. 낭종성 법랑아 세포종의 병소의 크기가 큰 경우 감압술 및 조대술이 보존적인 치료 방법으로 사용된다. 이 치료 방법의 목적은 병소의 크기를 줄여 완전 적출이 손쉽게 하며 악안면 부위 변형이나 신경 손상을 방지하는데 있다. 본 증례에서는 병소의 크기가 큰 낭종성 법랑아 세포종을 감압술 및 조대술로 성공적으로 치료한 치험례를 논문 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
