Massive mandibular ameloblastoma masquerading malignancy: A unique case
Ameloblastomas are odontogenic tumours that arise from the maxilla and mandible. They are mostly benign but can seldom turn malignant. Their low incidence (<1-3%) and ambiguous presentation can often pose a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician. They are mostly diagnosed with the help of contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans and confirmed by characteristic findings on histopathological examination. We present a case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with a firm to hard external swelling on the right side of his face and extensive intraoral mass, which showed features of a bony malignancy but was subsequently diagnosed with ameloblastoma.
