ABSTRACT
Ameloblastomas are slow-growing, aggressive odontogenic epithelial tumors that originate from the jawbone. One of the most easily relapsing maxillofacial tumors, ameloblastomas mainly occur in the mandibular molar area and ascending branch, although they can occasionally occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. A 14-year-old child with autism spectrum disorder underwent sinus computed tomography (CT) under anesthesia. A swollen tumor had grown in the left maxillary sinus, and the bone of the maxillary sinus was damaged. Nine months after the first operation, recurrence was observed in the left maxillary sinus. The pathological diagnosis was ameloblastoma. Due to the child's inability to communicate and cooperate with the treatment normally, he underwent endoscopic surgery again combined with low-temperature plasma treatment. No tumor recurrence was found on reexamination 6 months after surgery.
