dc.description.abstract | Ameloblastic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant odontogenic tumor of jaws and is a highly aggressive tumor with rapid growth and also a high potential for distant metastasis. Th e most common site of occurrence is posterior mandible. Clinically, it is aggressive and has potential for local destruction. Th e majority of the cases arise de novo, while few cases arise from a pre-existing ameloblastoma. Th e radiological feature of the ameloblastic carcinoma is usually similar to that of ameloblastoma except for the presence of focal radiopacity, which apparently refl ects dystrophic calcifi cation. Herein, we report a case of ameloblastic carcinoma in the left mandible of a 60-year-old female patient. | en_US |
