Radical management of giant ameloblastomas: a case series.

Ameloblastomas are rare, slowly growing and locally invasive tumours with high recurrence rate, if not treated they can grow to enormous size; we report five such cases in our article and discuss their surgical management. We report five cases of giant ameloblastoma presented in our institute between 2007 and 2010, we treated them surgically with wide margin of resection. It is widely reported that recurrence of ameloblastoma in many cases reflects the inadequacy or failure of the primary surgical procedure.
