Ameloblastic Carcinoma: A Case Report

Mallika Kishore et al. J Clin Diagn Res. 2015 Jul.

Abstract

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behavior that dictates more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. Here we present a case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the mandible in a 30-year-old male patient with a clinical course of typical aggressiveness and extensive local destruction.

Keywords: Metastases; Odontogenic carcinoma; Surgical resection.
