β¦ Synopsis
The ameloblastoma is a tumor arising predominantly in the mandible from odontogenic epithelium, and is locally invasive. It is rarely malignant; but even when benign, it causes gross local destruction and expansion of tissue. Growth is persistent, and recurrence may occur more than a decade after presumed total resection. Surgical resection should include a reasonable margin of healthy tissue whenever possible. Late patient presentation due to a paucity of symptoms, and insiduous tumor growth patterns render complete removal of the ameloblastoma difficult. Follow-up examinations should span a prolonged period, exceeding 10-15 years. HEAD & NECK SURGERY 9295-298, 1987.
