Abstract:
A peripheral (extraosseous) ameloblastoma was excised from the maxillary left tuberosity of an 82-year-old man. It recurred twice over a 5-year period, once as squamous cell carcinoma and again as undifferentiated carcinoma. Analysis of the literature suggests that peripheral ameloblastomas may have the same potential for malignant transformation as intraosseous ameloblastomas.
