Oncology
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Ameloblastoma is a common benign odontogenic tumor, typically asymptomatic until advanced.
Most ameloblastomas (80%) occur in the mandible, but anterior symphysis-menti origin is rare.

Observation:

A rare case of ameloblastoma originating from the symphysis-menti region of the mandible is presented.
The tumor, though benign, exhibited local spread and a high recurrence potential.

Findings:

Wide local excision was performed for the symphysis-menti ameloblastoma.
Immediate mandibular reconstruction was achieved using a free fibular vascular flap stabilized with titanium plates.

Implications:

This case underscores the challenges in managing rare anterior mandibular ameloblastomas.
Successful reconstruction with free fibular flaps offers a viable solution for complex mandibular defects.
