Ameloblastoma in the Hong Kong Chinese. Part 1: systematic review and clinical presentation

Although the presentation of ameloblastoma within this Chinese community was broadly similar to that observed in other populations, it differed in a number of important respects. It had a younger age at first presentation than many other communities, including other Orientals; it was associated with a shorter period between first becoming aware of the lesion and seeking treatment, particularly in the young; and it was more frequently associated with pain than in the SR.
