Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation between histopathological findings and X-ray appearances of ameloblastomas.Methods X-ray characteristics and histopathological features in 153 cases of ameloblastomas were analyzed retrospectively, and their relation was comparatively analyzed. Results ① On radiography,the lesions appeared as multilocular in 82 cases(53.59) and unilocular in 71 cases(46.41). ② 96 cases were classic ameloblastomas,including follicular type in 13 cases and non-follicular type in 83 cases,X-ray showed unilocular appearance in 35(36.46) and multilocular appearance in 61 cases(63.54).57 cases were unicystic ameloblastoma ,X-ray showed unilocular appearance in 36 cases(63.16) and multilocular appearance in 21 cases(36.84).There was significant diffrence statistically in the X-ray features of uniloculus and multiloculus between the two histopathological patterns(P﹤0.005). Conclusion Unicystic ameloblastomas often have unilocular radiologic appearance,classic ameloblastomas are mostly of multilocular radiologic appearance,while,the honeycomb radiologic appearances are common seen follicular type ameloblastoma.
