CASE REPORT Management of Large Mandibular Ameloblastoma - A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumour but is often aggressive and destructive, with capacity to attain great size, erode bone and invade adjacent structures. They are the commonest neoplasms affecting jaws, with a high rate of recurrence if not removed adequately. Its incidence, combined with its clinical behaviour, makes ameloblastoma the most significant odontogenic neoplasm of concern of oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The challenge in the management of this tumour is not only to excise the tumour completely in order to prevent recurrence but also to provide the best reconstruction method with the intention of giving reasonable cosmetic and functional outcome to the patient.
