dc.description.abstract | Background: The pattern of ameloblastoma in Africans has shown a marked
difference from that of non -African populations. Previous studies on ameloblastoma in
the Kenyan population have been inconclusive and with the availability of more data over
the years, a clinicopathological re-evaluation of any feature that can provide further
insight on ameloblastomas in the general Kenyan population based on histopathological
subtypes were highly desirable. This report presents a clinicopathological analysis of 184
cases of ameloblastoma reported in Nairobi, Kenya.
Objective: To describe the clinicopathologic pattern of ameloblastoma in Kenyans.
Study Site: University of Nairobi Dental Hospital, division of Oral Pathology and
Oral Medicine.
Study Design: A descriptive audit including all patient records with a histopathologically
confirmed report of ameloblastoma based on the routine Haematoxylin
and Eosin staining during the period of January 1995 and December 2005. Data with
respect to the patient's ages, gender, tumour location, duration and presenting symptoms
as well as the radiographic findings and histopathological subtypes of the ameloblastoma
were analysed | en |
