Metastasizing ameloblastoma: a case report
Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive odontogenic tumor that rarely metastasizes. We report a case with multiple local recurrences over 12 years, currently with pulmonary metastasis. Pulmonary metastasis may be indolent and hence could be misdiagnosed or missed altogether. The degree of suspicion should be higher for patients with recurrences.
