Ameloblastic Carcinoma of Mandible: Secondary Dedifferentiated Type
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare odontogenic malignancy. Ameloblastic carcinoma is a histopathological presentation, which combines the features of conventional ameloblastoma and cellular atypia. Biological behavior is rather aggressive when compare to conventional ameloblasts and tend to metastasize to the different organs. Diagnosis and treatment of this malignancy is challenging as only few cases were documented in the scientific literature. In the present case, authors have explained the clinicopathological presentation of ameloblastic carcinoma occurring in the mandible of 30 year old male patient. Emphasis has been made on its recent concepts.
