    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ameloblastoma, a common odontogenic tumor, typically presents as asymptomatic jaw swelling.
    • Gingival ulceration is an uncommon chief complaint for ameloblastoma.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing ameloblastoma and preventing recurrence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of ameloblastoma presenting with gingival ulceration.
    • To discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this presentation.
    • To highlight the importance of considering rare presentations in differential diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study of a 75-year-old Japanese male with ameloblastoma.
    • En bloc surgical removal of the tumor and affected gingival tissue.

  • Postoperative follow-up to monitor for recurrence.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient presented with a gingival ulcer as the primary symptom.
    • Successful en bloc tumor resection was performed.
    • No evidence of recurrence was noted during the uneventful postoperative period.

    Conclusions:

    • Ameloblastoma can manifest with atypical symptoms like gingival ulceration.
    • Surgical management, including en bloc resection, can be effective for ameloblastoma.
    • Close postoperative monitoring is essential to ensure complete tumor removal and prevent recurrence.
