Abstract:
A patient with recurrent ameloblastoma extending into the skull base is presented. An interdisciplinary treatment strategy is described, which included proper diagnosis by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and radical resection of the tumor in cooperation with the neurosurgeon, followed by reconstruction with microsurgical methods, and prosthetic rehabilitation based on an implant-supported epithesis.
