These lesions appear solid on imaging, have a benign clinical course, and can be treated with local excision . Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing neoplasm of the jaw, for which the standard treatment is surgical removal of the lesion with high recurrence rates and elevated morbidity. Objectives. Benign solid tumors represent a broad spectrum of lesions such as ameloblastomas, odontomas, ossifying fibromas, and periapical cemental dysplasia. Both of the lesions demonstrate a bony hard expansive mass with teeth displacement, loss of lamina dura, root resorption, and occasionally teeth loosening [12, 13]. • The.
