The ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant counterpart of the ameloblastoma. Ameloblastic carcinoma is a malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behavior that dictates a more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. However, reliable evidence of its biologic activity is currently unavailable due to the scarcity of well-documented cases. We present a rare case of a large ameloblastic carcinoma occurring in the mandible of 44-year-old female highlighting its unique histopathologic features and aggressive behavior treated by radical surgery and reconstruction. Involvement of left ramus to right ramus of the mandible makes this case unusual.
成釉细胞癌是成釉细胞瘤罕见的恶性对应物。成釉细胞癌是一种具有特征性组织学特征和行为的恶性病变，这决定了其手术方式比单纯成釉细胞瘤更具侵袭性。然而，由于记录完整的病例稀少，目前尚无其生物学活性的确切证据。我们报告一例罕见的发生于一名44岁女性下颌骨的大型成釉细胞癌病例，突出其独特的组织病理学特征以及通过根治性手术和重建治疗的侵袭性行为。下颌骨左支至右支均受累使该病例较为特殊。
