Question 179 · LDEK · Benign tumors

Unilocular ameloblastoma sometimes might be treated conservatively, without radically resecting the bone. Such possibility does not concern cases of unilocular ameloblastoma:

1) developing in children;
2) developing in the lateral part of the mandible;
3) developing in the lateral part of the maxilla;
4) with a microscopically confirmed intramural growth type;
5) with a microscopically confirmed intraluminal growth type.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,4,5.
  2. B. 2,4.
  3. C. 3,4.
  4. D. 1,3,5.
  5. E. 3,5.
Hint

Conservative treatment is acceptable when the tumour stays within the cyst lining and anatomy limits spread; look for the opposite situations.
