Department of Oral Pathology & Microbiology, King George's Medical, University, Lucknow 226003 UP, India. Electronic address:

Ameloblastoma represents a rare and locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm, notable for its histopathological diversity. Among its subtypes, the desmoplastic and plexiform variants are relatively rare, with the hybrid form, encompassing both architectural patterns, representing an even more exceptional entity. This article delineates the clinical, radiological, and histopathological profile of a 45-year-old male presenting with pain persisting over the past month in the right posterior maxillary region.

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.

Purpose: Current standard of care for ameloblastoma (conventional/unicystic - mural type) usually mandates extensive bone resection that frequently necessitates immediate reconstruction with serious sequelae, especially among young patients. BRAF-mutated ameloblastomas can be targeted by BRAF inhibitors to markedly reduce their size, enabling conservative removal of residual tumor. We aimed to characterize the effect of post-treatment histomorphologic changes.
