Reconnoitre ameloblastic carcinoma: A prognostic update

Odontogenic tumours (OTs) are rare, heterogeneous group of neoplasms, unique to oral cavity, evolving from tissue associated with tooth development or its remnants. These tumours comprise 1% of all jaw tumours and include hamartomatous, benign as well as malignant entities. Most frequent OT is odontoma considered as ‘tooth hamartoma’, followed by ameloblastoma [1]. Ameloblastoma is a slow growing, benign and locally invasive neoplasm which may show malignant characteristics such as metastasis with or without cytological atypia.
