Abstract

Odontogenic malignancies are rare and have spectrum of clinical presentations, making diagnosis challenging. Ameloblastic carcinoma(AMCa) is a rare odontogenic malignant lesion with characteristic clinical and histopathological features. Histologically it resembles ameloblastomatous tumor cells with cellular atypia. In this presentation, we are going to discuss a case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the anterior mandible in a 75-year-old male patient with a typical aggressive clinical course which posed a diagnostic difficulty due to variable histopathological presentation.
