Metastatic recurrent giant orbital ameloblastoma: A rare case report and literature review
The patient exhibited significant facial disfigurement at the time of presentation to the ophthalmology department, attributable to the large size of the orbital mass. Inadequate awareness of this uncommon pathology may result in misdiagnosis as basal cell carcinoma or other malignant orbital neoplasms. Despite the preservation of visual function, limited understanding of the disease could lead to overly aggressive surgical management. Therefore, this case is reported to provide insights into the diagnosis, management, and prognosis, serving as a reference for clinicians encountering similar presentations.
