• Suggestibility

  ConclusionThe results suggest that FASN and COX-2 overexpression may have a role in the pathogenesis of AM and AC¸ while in AFS, only FASN seems to be involved. [medworm.com]

  The lesion grew rapidly in the time from hospital admission until operation, suggesting progression from low to high malignancy. The correlation between the benign epithelial component and malignancy is discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Although most cases arise de novo, the documentation of a prior or pre-existing precursor lesion from ameloblastic fibroma suggests otherwise.1,2 A study by Kobayashi et al. suggested that up to one-third of AFS arise from AF while a review of literature [pjohns.pso-hns.org]

  They were found to be in mild-labeling indices suggesting of less aggressive tumor. Hence, we considered a conservative approach for the treatment. Treatment options for AF swings between conservative excision and aggressive resection. [njms.in]

• Facial Mass

  The usual clinical presentation consists of a patient who complains of a painful but occasionally painless facial mass with accompanying paresthesia or dysesthesia. The duration of symptoms varies widely from a few weeks up to 2 years [7]. [hindawi.com]

Surgical resection remains the standard treatment, as no clear or consistent pattern exists for the use of adjuvant therapy in the primary treatment of AFS. [ochsnerjournal.org]

This potential transformation alone does not justify radical treatment of all these benign lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Its behaviour is relatively benign, with absence of metastatic disease, and the prognosis is reported to be good. It is a paradoxical neoplasm with "sarcomatous" morphological and immunohistochemical patterns but with a favourable clinical course. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some authors have proposed that AFS should be considered as low grade fibrosarcoma [7] in view of its more favourable prognosis in comparison to fibrosarcomas of the orofacial region. [article.sapub.org]

Pathophysiology Fibrosarcoma is a tumor of mesenchymal cell origin that is composed of malignant fibroblasts in a collagen background. There are two main types: primary and secondary. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Knowledge of the malignant potential in the mesenchymal spindle cells of ameloblastic fibroma will assist in determining the management of these benign tumours, and may prevent malignant transformation to ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On the one hand, it would be good to take the measures recommended by the doctors to prevent further recurrences of the disease. [deti.zp.ua]
