Maxillary ameloblastoma, a benign but locally aggressive tumor, requires extensive surgical planning due to its potential to invade surrounding structures. Radical resection and timely reconstruction are crucial for optimal outcomes in these rare odontogenic neoplasms.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Maxillary ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic neoplasm originating from epithelial cells.
  • It is histologically benign but locally aggressive with a high recurrence rate after conservative surgery.

Observation:

  • Extensive forms of maxillary ameloblastoma can invade adjacent structures like the orbit, pterygomaxillary, infratemporal fossae, and skull base.
  • Surgical treatment is challenging, demanding a balance between oncological radicality, functional preservation, and aesthetic results.

Findings:

  • Complete diagnostic work-up and meticulous surgical planning are essential for managing maxillary ameloblastoma.
  • Treatment involves an ablative phase (en-bloc resection with clear margins) followed by prompt reconstruction to restore function and aesthetics.

Implications:

  • This approach highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care in achieving successful oncological and functional outcomes for maxillary ameloblastoma.
  • The reported experience emphasizes the need for specialized surgical techniques in managing complex cases of maxillary ameloblastoma.
