Solid type: generally seen in: the fourth to fifth decade; uniloculated or multiloculated radiolucency, most often in the posterior mandible, although blacks may have a predilection for lesions in the anterior mandible (Fig. 15-6, A and B); may cause swelling of the face if large; described as a solid tumor at surgery, although microcystic spaces may be present; the scirrhous or desmoplastic variant presents as a mixed lucent-opaque mass in 50% of cases (suggesting a fibro-osseous lesion) in adults in the fifth and sixth decades; equal mandibular and maxillary frequency, often affecting the anterior maxilla; some ameloblastomas are associated with impacted teeth (see Fig. 15-6, C).
