A case of an unusually large mandibular ameloblastoma is reported in which standard radiologic examination failed to provide adequate visualization of the tumor's limits because of overlapping structures and the presence of compound shadows. Computed tomography imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction proved invaluable in the treatment planning of this large lesion, because it allowed the surgeon to visualize and comprehend the geography of the tumor and its relationship to surrounding structures and soft tissues and to formulate a surgical plan. Use of this technique helped ensure complete excision of the tumor without excessive removal of uninvolved tissue.
A case of a malignant ameloblastoma in a 49-year old Sri Lankan woman with widespread pulmonary metastases is presented, the diagnosis confirmed by needle biopsy. The current histological classification of odontogenic carcinomas and the management of metastatic pulmonary deposits are discussed.
