Ameloblastoma - A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article highlights features of ameloblastoma which could be mistaken for a malignant tumor. Ameloblastoma is usually multilocular but may also present itself as unilocular radiolucency. Ameloblastomas are nototrious for their local invasiveness and their tendency to recur. It shows an aggressive behavior leaving surgical resection as one of the most practical approach towards treatment. Also with proper and calculated treatment options, reasonably fair results can be expected in terms of esthetics and function. We present an extensive case of plexiform ameloblastoma of the mandible in a female patient.
