Abstract

Objectives: This case report aims to describe the radiographic characteristics of plexiform ameloblastoma and its impact on surrounding tissues in a middle-aged female patient using panoramic radiography and CBCT, along with case management. Case Report: A 43-year-old female patient presented to the Dental Radiology Unit of RSGMP UNHAS with a panoramic referral letter, diagnosed clinically with anterior mandibular ameloblastoma. Extraoral examination revealed an asymmetrical facial appearance with anterior mandibular enlargement. Intraoral examination showed mucus membrane enlargement in the anterior mandible region (teeth 37-45), soft consistency, absence of crepitus, no palpation tenderness, and mobility in several anterior mandibular teeth. The first panoramic radiograph (March 16, 2022) exhibited a unilocular radiolucent lesion, well-defined, with scalloped margins in the anteroposterior mandibular region. The second panoramic examination (May 23, 2022) indicated a more aggressive lesion expansion, with evidence of root resorption and destruction of the inferior mandibular cortex approaching the mandibular angle. CBCT findings demonstrated a hypodense/radiolucent lesion extending anteroposteriorly, superiorly, and inferiorly, leading to displacement, root resorption, and destruction of the inferior mandibular cortex in the inferior direction. Conclusion: Based on the characteristics and structure of the lesion observed through various radiographic examinations, a unilocular ameloblastoma was suspected. Histopathological examination confirmed the plexiform-type ameloblastoma.

Abstract

Objectives: To report the “sunray” appearance on panoramic radiography as a sign of malignancy lesions of the mandible. Case Report: A 40 year old female patient came to the Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with the main complaint of facial swelling which causes an asymmetrical appearance and hard consistency on palpation. Mucosa around the second right premolar to the third right molar is reddish with an irregular border. The patient was referred to the radiology department for panoramic radiography and MRI. The panoramic radiograph revealed a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion in tooth 35 involving ramus to the coronoid process. PDL space was irregular widening at 36, 37, and 38. The "sunray” appearance was seen from the ramus extending to the coronoid process. On the MRI, a mass on the submandibular gland pushed and narrowed the sublingual, parapharyngeal, and masticator space, destroying the mandible on the left side. These radiologic findings strongly suggest a malignancy involving the jawbone. Conclusion: The findings of a mandibular malignancy in the form of a “sunray” appearance on panoramic radiography need to be confirmed with an MRI examination to determine the consistency and extent of the lesion to the surrounding tissue. A comprehensive examination is necessary to properly diagnose mandibular malignant lesions so that the most suitable treatment plan can be determined.
