Abstract

One hundred four ameloblastomas, 97 in the mandible, five in the maxilla, and two in peripheral locations, were studied. A consistent correlation between the age of the patient and the radiographic or histologic type of mandibular ameloblastoma was observed. There was a tendency for ameloblastomas of the follicular type to show a multilocular or soap bubble appearance and for those of the plexiform type to show a unilocular appearance. Recurrent ameloblastomas had a predominantly multilocular appearance. Histologically, the ameloblastomas in the maxilla were of the follicular type.
