Abstract:

Malignant ameloblastoma accounts for less than 1 % tumour of the faciomaxillary region, arising from epithelial odontogenic cells or dental lamina. The commonest site Is the ascending ramus of mandible and maxilla. A rare case of malignant ameloblastoma at unusual sites is reported. It is important to identify this condition to offer adequate excision and prevent recurrence. This is a case of 9 years old male child, who-presented a mass in left cheek and inguinal mass with amputated right leg. Complete excision of the maxilla and inguinal mass was carried out and confirmed as a metastatic malignant ameloblastoma both in maxilla and inguinal region. There was recurrence of the same growth in the right maxilla and skull bones after one year. This is a unique presentation of ameloblastoma spreading to remote areas in the body that has not been reported in the literature
