成釉细胞瘤是最常见的牙源性肿瘤之一,具有局部侵袭性。其发病高峰年龄在30或40岁,儿童期非常少见。随着正畸全景片的普及应用,肿瘤可在儿童早期即被发现。由于儿童的颌骨发育尚未完成,因而儿童成釉细胞瘤的治疗具有一定的特殊性。作者对6例16岁以下儿童成釉细胞瘤进行临床病理学研究,认为对于儿童成釉细胞瘤,可采用保守的手术治疗。 材料和方法 复习1978～1992年问Chiba大学口腔外科的所有成釉细胞瘤病历,对年龄在16岁以下儿童患者进行仔细研究,包括临床所见、治疗方法和随访结果。手术方法包括刮除术(Curettage):将肿瘤从周围正常组织中挖除,如未采用袋形缝合,则伤口予以关 Ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumors with localized invasiveness. The peak age of onset of 30 or 40 years of age, childhood is very rare. With the popularity of orthodontic panoramic film, the tumor can be found in early childhood. Because children’s jaw development has not yet completed, so the treatment of children with ameloblastoma has a certain particularity. The authors of 6 cases of children under the age of 16 ameloblastoma clinicopathological study, that for children with ameloblastoma, conservative surgery can be used. Materials and Methods The medical history of all patients with ameloblastoma who underwent oral surgery at Chiba University from 1978 to 1992 was reviewed. Patients under 16 years of age were studied carefully, including clinical findings, treatment and follow-up results. Surgical methods include Curettage: The tumor is excised from surrounding normal tissue, and if not sutured, the wound is closed
