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.
