The Maxillary Ameloblastoma: An Analysis of Twenty-Four Cases.

Abstract

The maxillary ameloblastoma presents clinically as a potentially more dangerous lesion than its mandibular counterpart. The microscopic appearance of this locally aggressive neoplasm challenges the diagnostic acumen of the pathologist and its variable biologic behavior dictates a radical therapeutic approach by the surgeon. Therapy should consist of either surgical excision or hemimaxillectomy. The surgeon must carefully weigh the potential danger of the neoplasm against the deformity and disability caused by the surgical procedure. (Author)
