Abstract
- Hemangiomatous ameloblastoma (HA), which is a rare ameloblastic variant, is presented in a 15-year-old boy in the maxillary right molar region associated with unerupted canine and premolars. Radiologic and computed tomographic analysis was suggestive of cystic lesion. An histology picture confirmed the diagnosis of HA. There are less than eight cases documented in the literature and mostly are in the middle age with mandibular location. This is first ever reported case of HA in a 15-year-old boy with maxillary location. Due to less number of documented cases and no long-term follow-ups, clinical behavior and prognosis of this lesion are uncertain. In this case report, the clinical, histological, and radiographic features of HA are presented.
