Abstract

This article aims to document an additional case of ameloblastic carcinoma affecting the left hemi-mandible, and to conduct a comprehensive review of its clinical presentations, radiologic and histopathological characteristics, various treatment strategies, and overall prognosis.  We report the case of a 60-year-old female who arrived at the Maxillofacial Department complaining of painful swelling on her left cheek. After thorough diagnostic procedures, she was diagnosed with ameloblastic carcinoma of the left hemi-mandible. The patient underwent extensive treatment including hemimandibulectomy, supraomohyoid neck dissection, and reconstruction using a fibula free flap. Postoperative management included radiotherapy.
