Local Recurrence of a Mandibular Ameloblastoma: Report Case

Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor with local malignancy due to its propensity to invade all tissues surrounding areas and its risk of recurrence after enucleation; Its preferred anatomical site is mandibular. We present a case of a patient who presents a mandibular ameloblastoma initially treated by surgery then 3 years later he presents a local recurrence confirmed histologically.
