Ameloblastic carcinoma of the maxilla: A rare case presentation and a review of new cases

Abstract

Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is a relatively rare tumor which accounts for less than 4% of odontogenic tumors. The mandible is the preferred site and occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old male with maxillary AC and present a review of the reported cases from 2009 to 2017 in English literature.
