Extraosseous ameloblastoma, a rare benign jaw tumor, can occur in soft tissues. This case highlights an unusual occurrence in the subzygomatic area, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Oral pathology
Odontogenic tumors

Background:

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor, typically found in the jawbone, with a high recurrence rate.
Peripheral or extraosseous ameloblastoma, though rare, occurs in soft tissues and may arise from odontogenic remnants or pluripotent cells.

Observation:

Seven cases of extraosseous ameloblastoma in extragengival areas, unrelated to dental germs, have been documented.
These rare tumors have primarily been reported in the buccal mucosa (six cases) and floor of the mouth (one case).

Findings:

This report details a unique case of extraosseous, extragengival ameloblastoma originating in the subzygomatic area.
The tumor's location in the subzygomatic region represents a novel presentation for this rare entity.

Implications:
