From: Study on clinical and biological characteristics of ameloblastic carcinoma
Patient 12, Secondary ameloblastic carcinoma: a A mass in the right mandible with irregular bone absorption and bone destruction. b Postoperative pathology revealed follicular ameloblastoma (HE, × 200). c The tumor epithelium shows columnar cells with palisade nuclei far from the basement membrane (HE, × 400). d Radiography revealed polycystic bone destruction in the left mandible and soap bubble-like and root truncation-like absorption after 3 postoperative days. e Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed buccal-lingual bone destruction and polycystic tumors. f Postoperative pathology revealed ameloblastic carcinoma and cell atypia. g Radical excision and iliac bone transplantation were performed simultaneously, leading to satisfactory results 4 years postoperatively
