Abstract:
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare, odontogenic, malignant tumor that has features of ameloblastoma in addition to cytologic atypia with or without metastasis. It is classified as primary type; secondary type, intraosseous; and secondary type, peripheral according to the World Health Organization classification of 2005. Ameloblastic carcinoma, secondary type, is extremely rare, and few cases have been reported in the English-language literature. The authors report a case of ameloblastic carcinoma, secondary type, arising at the mandible in a 17-year-old Japanese boy.
