Resumen

CUEVA, Yesenia; CALDERON, Víctor  y  TREVEJO-BOCANEGRA, Ana Paola. Contrast’s use for the diagnosis of ameloblastoma: about a case. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.1, pp.44-50. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v27i1.3102.

Ameloblastomas are the most common benign odontogenic tumors, without regard to odontomas; Its behavior is locally invasive, destructive with high rate of recurrence. They do not have sex predilection and theirs peak of incidence is in the fourth and fifth decades of life; however, uniquistic ameloblastomas are mostly diagnosed during the second decade of life. The present report shows the imaging characteristics of ameloblastoma, using different techniques of image acquisition; among them the use of Helicoidal Multidetector Computed Tomography (HMCT) with intravenous contrast administration, which allows us to obtain additional data for the characterization of the internal structure of the lesion, thus differentiating it from other pathologies.

Palabras clave : Ameloblastoma; multidetector computed tomography; contrast media.
