Ameloblastoma is an aggressive benign tumor with frequent local recurrences. Although histologically benign, it occasionally metastasizes to many organs, most commonly to the lungs. The metastasis develops after multiple recurrences and many unsuccessful attempts at removal of the tumor. When distant metastasis occurs, the prognosis is poor and there is no effective treatment. A case of metastatic ameloblastoma of the mandible and maxilla is reported which was treated with pulmonary metastasectomy. The treatment options are discussed in relation to the literature.
成釉细胞瘤是一种具有频繁局部复发倾向的侵袭性良性肿瘤。尽管在组织学上为良性，但它偶尔会转移至多个器官，最常见的是肺部。转移发生在多次复发以及多次切除肿瘤未成功之后。当发生远处转移时，预后很差且没有有效的治疗方法。本文报道了一例下颌骨和上颌骨转移性成釉细胞瘤，采用了肺转移瘤切除术进行治疗。并结合文献对治疗选择进行了讨论。
