Ameloblastic carcinomas are rare odontogenic tumors. Treatment usually consists of surgical resection and sometimes adjuvant radiation. We report the case of a 71 year-old male patient undergoing carbon ion therapy for extensive local relapse of ameloblastic carcinoma. Treatment outcome was favourable with a complete remission at 6 weeks post completion of radiotherapy while RT-treatment itself was tolerated well with only mild side effects. High dose radiation hence is a potential alternative for patients unfit or unwilling to undergo extensive surgery or in cases when only a subtotal resection is planned or the resection is mutilating.
成釉细胞瘤是一种罕见的牙源性肿瘤。治疗通常包括手术切除，有时还需要辅助放疗。我们报告了一例 71 岁男性患者，因成釉细胞瘤广泛局部复发而行碳离子治疗。治疗结果良好，放疗结束后 6 周完全缓解，而 RT 治疗本身耐受性良好，仅有轻微副作用。对于不适合或不愿意接受广泛手术的患者，或者仅计划行次全切除或切除会导致毁容的患者，高剂量放疗是一种潜在的替代方法。
