Ameloblastic Carcinoma is a rare malignant Odontogenic tumour with characteristic histopathology and clinical features which requires aggressive surgical treatment and surveillance and therefore differs from ameloblastoma. It is possible that ameloblastoma shows a variety of histologic and biologic behaviour ranging from benign to frank malignancy. Cases of ameloblastoma should thus be studied carefully, correlating their histologic pattern with biologic behaviour to direct subtle changes in histology that may predict the aggressiveness of the tumor. Thus the identifying features of Ameloblastic Carcinoma must be carefully known and recognized by dental professionals. The purpose of this article is to report a rare case of Ameloblastic Carcinoma and to highlight the clinical, radiological and variable histological features with possible differential diagnosis.
成釉细胞癌是一种罕见的恶性牙源性肿瘤，具有独特的组织病理学和临床特征，需要积极的手术治疗和监测，因此与成釉细胞瘤不同。成釉细胞瘤可能表现出从良性到明显恶性的多种组织学和生物学行为。因此，对于成釉细胞瘤病例应仔细研究，将其组织学模式与生物学行为相关联，以发现可能预示肿瘤侵袭性的组织学细微变化。因此，牙科专业人员必须仔细了解并认识成釉细胞癌的识别特征。本文的目的是报告一例罕见的成釉细胞癌病例，并突出其临床、放射学和多样的组织学特征以及可能的鉴别诊断。
