adamantinoma
adamantoblastoma

Most commonly, patients are in their second or third decade, but adamantinoma can occur over a wide age range.

Some authors still confusingly misuse the term adamantinoma to describe ameloblastomas, however they differ in histology and frequency of malignancy.

Several authors have related this non-neoplastic lesion to adamantinoma - a tumor involving subcutaneous long bones - stating the common cause to be fibrovascular defect.

This type of odontogenic neoplasm was designated as an adamantinoma in 1885 by the French physician Louis-Charles Malassez.

Benign osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma or a regressive phase of adamantinoma.

Adamantinoma Mandibular Ameloblastoma Maxillary Ameloblastoma Odontogenic Tumor None Ameloblastoma is a rare disorder of the jaw involving abnormal tissue growth.

In 1885, this kind of odontogenic neoplasm was designated as an adamantinoma by Malassez and was finally renamed to the modern name ameloblastoma in 1930 by Ivey and Churchill.
