Comprehensive management of follicular ameloblastoma: Diagnostic and surgical strategies
A 45-year-old woman in this case report has had right-sided facial edema for 1.5 years and chewing pain for 3 months. A single, poorly defined, firm, non-tender swelling with impaired sensation over the right cheek was discovered during the clinical examination. A multilocular radiolucent expansile lesion was seen on radiographic imaging in the right mandibular body and ramus. The diagnosis of follicular ameloblastoma was validated by histopathological examination. The patient was treated with ryles tube feeding and antibiotics after undergoing surgical resection. Four-month follow-up revealed positive results. This case emphasizes how critical it is to diagnose ameloblastoma early and treat it appropriately.
