A Rare Case of Recurrent Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma of Maxilla
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is a benign, locally invasive variant of the intraosseous, infiltrative ameloblastoma (IA). Ameloblastoma, of the maxilla, has a bad reputation with a high recurrence rate and significant mortality. For a benign tumor, which should be a curable condition, this seems to be out of character. We present a case of recurrent maxillary desmoplastic ameloblastoma and discuss the clinical features, pathology and management of these lesions and review the literature.
