“…Radiotherapy was used after the surgery for cases with close resection margin, extracapsular or perineural invasion. 6,20,21 Chemotherapy did not show any promising results. 6,22 Radiotherapy alone is also not recommended given its intraosseous location.…”

“…The 5 and 10 year survival rates were 72.9% and 56.8% respectively. 21 It is important that people should be fortified to immediately report to a surgeon whenever they see any unusual swelling any discomfort. Management should also include the awareness of the people of their responsibilities regarding their own health, and not wait for the swelling to grow and cause great discomfort and difficulty to themselves in future.…”

Abstract:Ameloblastic carcinoma is a highly malignant tumour and requires aggressive treatment. This case report describes an aggressive ameloblastic carcinoma that infiltrated the mandible. Mandibulectomy with right functional radical neck dissection and left supra omohyoid dissection was followed by primary reconstruction with a single free vascularised fibula flap. The postoperative course was uneventful. The 2 year regular follow up revealed no signs of recurrent tumour or metastasis. Future reporting of this rare condition is encouraged in lieu of limited information in its clinical course and prognosis.

“…Features of malignancy would include nuclear pleomorphism, readily identified mitotic activity (2 mitoses in a high power field in a high grade area), focal necrosis and nuclear hyperchromasia [14]. AC is rare with \100 cases in the literature [2,14,15]. The demographics of AC are similar to ameloblastoma, located most often in the posterior mandible and both genders affected equally, but AC is primarily seen in the elderly.…”

This is an update on selected odontogenic malignancies. The article deals with aspects of recognized odontogenic carcinomas, odontogenic sarcoma and a yet unrecognized entity, sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma. Odontogenic malignancies are exceedingly rare, complicating a thorough understanding of the biologic behavior, reproducible standardized diagnostic criteria, appropriate classification and clinical management. Without the knowledge of the tumor's biologic behavior, adequate clinical management is difficult and patient outcomes uncertain. The histopathologic features are emphasized as well as the more recent biomarker findings. These recent advances may facilitate further understanding of this group of malignancies and provide useful stratification to guide patient management.

“…Early diagnosis often occurs because ameloblastomas are found during routine exams or those indicated for other procedures 14 . A fundamental step to choose the best treatment for ameloblastomas is the identification of the type of lesion, namely: peripheral; unicystic; multicystic; and even solid and desmoplastic 6 . Unicystic ameloblastomas are very similar to dentigerous cysts in both clinical and radiological aspects, especially when the ameloblastoma is associated with retained teeth 11 .…”

“…One of the most reported techniques is complete surgical removal of the lesion, including the extension of a security margin with at least 1-to 2-cm thickness to reduce the risk of recurrence [6][7] . There has been growing preference for more conservative methods over time, because radical procedures entail major problems for the patients.…”

Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm essentially composed of epithelial tissue that has an invasive and infiltrative behavior at local level with a high recurrence rate. The prevalence of tumors and oral cysts is 1%, and the prevalence of odontogenic tumors is about 11%. The etiology is not yet fully known; however, one of the most accepted theories is that the lesion starts developing from remaining cells of the dental lamina, reduced enamel epithelium, Malassez's epithelial rests, or even from a basal cell layer of the epithelium surface. The literature does not report sex-and ethnicity-related occurrence; however, it is known that the most affected anatomical region is the mandible. It is essential to study oral lesions with the purpose of promoting early diagnosis and the most conservative intervention possible. This way, this study is a literature review of works published between 2006 and 2014 conducted to find the existing protocols for the treatment of ameloblastomas.
