A CASE REPORT OF MULTIPLE RECURRENT AMELOBLASTOMA

The ameloblastoma is a slow-growing, clinically malignant tumor. If inadequately treated, it recurs, disfiguring and possibly killing the patient. In this case, 20-year-old female was operated for 4 times under the diagnosis of multiple recurrent ameloblastoma. At 14 years old, this patient underwent an opertion under the radiographic and clinical impression of dentigerous cyst, but the pathologic diagnosis was ameloblastoma. At 18 years and 20 years old, partial mandibulectomy and excision of multiple soft tissue tumor mass was performed because of multiple recurrent ameloblastoma at left mandible and soft tissue, and iliac bone graft for reconstruction was performed.
