ABSTRACT

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare tumor arising from remnants of the dental lamina, enamel organ, and epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts or basal cells of the epithelium. It is an aggressive neoplasm that is locally invasive with an incidence of <1%. The present case of ameloblastic carcinoma arises in the anterior mandible region in a 69-year-old male patient. Marginal mandibulectomy of the lesion was done for the patient. The patient has been on regular follow-up for the past 2 years with no signs of recurrence or metastasis.
