Peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing odontogenic neoplasm prevalent in the mandible. It originates from the odontogenic epithelium and its remnants, and its histological characteristics are identical to those of intraosseous ameloblastoma. It is less aggressive and invasive than its intraosseous variety, with a low recurrence rate.

Ameloblastoma (AM) is a benign but locally infiltrative epithelial odontogenic neoplasm of the jawbones that may reach grotesque proportions and be highly recurrent if inadequately removed. The BRAF mutation has been demonstrated as key molecular event in its development, nevertheless, there are many queries about its aetiopathogenesis that are yet to be answered. In this study, we aimed to integrate results from whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-sequencing in AM samples to identify novel candidate genes that may be relevant to its pathogenesis.

This report presents a notable approach to treating a locally invasive maxillary ameloblastoma in a 46-year-old woman using an endoscopy-assisted total maxillectomy via a contralateral transmaxillary approach without a subciliary incision. Ameloblastomas, though benign, require radical surgical management due to their aggressive nature and high recurrence rates, especially in the maxilla. Traditional techniques often involve extensive facial incisions, leading to significant scarring and potential complications.

Pulmonary metastasis of ameloblastoma is a rare associated with the histopathologically plexiform types of ameloblastoma. In this report, we present an exceptionally rare case of pulmonary metastatic ameloblastoma without local recurrence, emerging 12 years post-initial resection. A female patient, initially diagnosed with mandibular desmoplastic ameloblastoma, revealed masses in both lung fields of the lung on chest radiography, while chest computed tomography revealed more than 10 nodules in both lungs.

Background: To analyze causes of recurrence following radical mandibular resection of ameloblastoma, and to propose surgical variation.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated for ameloblastoma from 2012 to 2024, specifically those who underwent radical mandibular resection followed by reconstruction with autologous bone flaps, focusing on cases of recurrence.
Results: Six patients were included in the study, all with primary tumors located in the mandible.
