The radiodensity of an ameloblastoma is about 30 Hounsfield units, which is about the same as keratocystic odontogenic tumours. However, ameloblastomas show more bone expansion and seldom show high density areas. [14] Lingual plate expansion is helpful in diagnosing ameloblastoma as cysts rarely do this.
A conservative treatment strategy, such as enucleation and curettage, is usually sufficient for small ameloblastic fibromas. However, extensive and aggressive lesions may require radical treatment such as in older patients who have likely high recurrence tendency. If the ameloblastic fibroma is small, ‘reconstruction’ will not be required.

The typically benign odontogenic tumor known as ameloblastoma was first recognized in 1827 by Cusack. Still, it did not yet have any designation. In 1885, this kind of odontogenic neoplasm was designated as an adamantinoma by Malassez. [10] It was finally renamed to the modern name ameloblastoma in 1930 by Ivey and Churchill. [11] [12]
Typically, clinical signs and symptoms present with bony expansion, or infection. However, bony expansion is uncommon as odontogenic keratocysts grow due to increased epithelial turnover rather than osmotic pressure. When symptoms are present they usually take the form of pain, swelling and discharge due to secondary infection.

During a peripheral blood smear, a sample of blood is checked for blast cells, white blood cell count and changes in shape of blood cells ...
