Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a benign and locally aggressive neoplasm of odontogenic epithelium, commonly present in the mandible. Incidence rate is 0.5 cases per million person-years. Most cases progress slowly, and are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed at the late stage with multi-system involvement. Consequently, facial deformity is a detrimental late-complication affecting patients’ physical and mental health. Diagnosis is made based on clinical assessment and pathology. Due to the high recurrence rate, radical resection is the surgery-of-choice despite associated complications such as bleeding, infection, breathing obstruction, and pain. Reconstruction is paramount to improve patients' well-being.
