Question 290 · LDEK · Benign tumors
“This tumor develops almost only intraosseous. We distinguish two types: follicular and not containing a tooth germ. Its radiological image matches a finely limited, unilocular radiolucency in the jaw. Usually, inside the tumor an impacted tooth may be observed. In more than 60% of intraosseous cases, delicate, scattered, radiopaque “patches” may be observed, which correspond to the calcified elements of the tumor. Such symptom is observed on intraoral radiographs, but not OPGs”. The above-mentioned description refers to:
- A. multicystic ameloblastoma.
- B. ameloblastic fibroma.
- C. calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour.
- D. squamous odontogenic tumour.
- E. adenomatoid odontogenic tumour.
Hint
Think of a tumour of young women, often around an impacted maxillary canine, with fine 'snowflake' calcifications.
