ABSTRACT

Ameloblastomas (ICD-DA-213.XI) are unicentric, nonfunctional, and clinically persistent benign tumors, intermittent in growth. The following histologic patterns may be distinguished: spindle cell, acanthomatous, granular cell, follicular (simple), basal cell type, and plexiform. Clinical features (even if combined with radiology or histology findings) are not useful when trying to determine the biological behaviour and therefore the prognosis of an individual ameloblastoma. A long-term course of a plexiform ameloblastoma (ICD-O-9310.0), well documented over 20 years with special regard to its recurrence in the soft tissue of the left cheek, is presented in this paper. Important questions on pathology, molecular biology, and therapy are discussed. In conclusion, a close cooperation of clinicians and surgical pathologists is necessary over a long period of time for the best management of each individual case.
