ABSTRACT
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare aggressive odontogenic tumour that exhibits malignant histologic features in the primary site or in metastasis. This rare tumour needs immediate attention because of its aggressive and infiltrative nature. However, there are controversies regarding the definitive treatment because of the very few cases in the literature database. Here, we report a case of a 64-year-old male Asian patient who presented with a non-tender exophytic proliferative mass of 3 months duration. It was finally diagnosed as ameloblastic carcinoma and promptly treated surgically with a regular follow-up. Local long-term control and follow-up is imperative in such patient laying emphasis on potential pulmonary metastasis.
