Extreme Ameloblastoma of Mandible: The Challenges and the Resolutions

Dr. Vinay Kumar Sharma, Dr. Preeti Sharma

Abstract :

Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive tumors of odontogenic origin which if left untreated may acquire enormous sizes. Such lesions pose a treatment challenge because of their size, the sheer amount of bony destruction, the usual poor systemic condition of the affected patient, intraoperative complications and the difficulties associated with reconstruction. Such lesions are called Extreme or Giant Ameloblastomas. We present a rare case of extreme ameloblastoma affecting the entire mandible and the systematic management protocol for the case. We also discuss in detail about challenges associated with such lesions and the step wise management approach.
