Abstract
Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor found at the posterior region of mandible. Granular cell ameloblastoma is one of the histological subtypes of ameloblastoma, mainly characterized by nests of large eosinophilic granular cell. Here, we reported a rare case of 75-year-old female patient presented with granular cell ameloblastoma in maxilla region. The conventional surgery was performed by upper lip-splitting technique and partial maxillectomy. The prosthetic obturators were delivered to rehabilitate a maxillofacial integrity, improving facial appearance and functional abilities. Long-term follow up revealed a favorable outcome without an evidence of tumor recurrence.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
