Secondary maxillary ameloblastic carcinoma: A case report
Abstract
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant odontogenic neoplasm that typically develops in the mandible rather than the maxilla.Ameloblastic carcinoma is divided into two categories: primary and secondary.We present a case report observed at the Yaoundé University Teaching Hospital of a secondary maxillary ameloblastic carcinoma following multiple recurrences of a desmoplastic ameloblastoma in a 64-year-old female.The diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma relies heavily on histology.
