Abstract: (29 Views)
Ameloblastoma is one of the most common benign tumors originating from odontogenic tissues. Despite being benign, it has a locally aggressive behavior and a high tendency to relapse. While, this tumor is mainly found in the posterior region of the mandible, its occurrence in the maxilla is rare and is associated with more diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This report presents a rare case of ameloblastoma in the maxilla of a 64-year-old male patient who presented with painless swelling and significant extension of the lesion to the midpalate. Clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings were reviewed and after necessary evaluations, the diagnosis of ameloblastoma was confirmed. The anatomical complexity of the maxilla, proximity to vital structures, and surgical limitations make the management of these tumors more difficult. The present report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, careful histological examination, and the need for a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach in dealing with this type of tumor.
