Ameloblastomas, rare odontogenic tumors, can recur locally. This case highlights an unusual instance of mandibular ameloblastoma with a metastatic lymph node, emphasizing the need for vigilance.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ameloblastomas are odontogenic tumors known for local invasiveness and recurrence.
  • Metastasis from ameloblastoma is exceptionally rare, with most cases confined to local invasion.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old female presented with a recurrent ameloblastoma in the mandible.
  • A metastatic lymph node was identified in the neck on the same side as the mandibular tumor.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates an unusual presentation of ameloblastoma with regional metastasis.
  • Recurrent mandibular ameloblastoma with homolateral neck lymph node metastasis is a rare clinical finding.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of thorough follow-up for recurrent ameloblastomas.

  • It suggests that even rare metastatic potential should be considered in the management of ameloblastomas.
  • Highlights the need for comprehensive oncologic surveillance in select ameloblastoma cases.
