Abstract:
Ameloblastic Carcinoma (AC) is a very rare malignant odontogenic tumor arising from odontogenic epithelium. The tumor most often involves the mandible. It presents with a rapid and painful sudden swelling in the jaw. It is an aggressive tumor that is locally invasive and can spread to regional lymph nodes or distant areas such as lungs and bones.
We present a case of ameloblastic carcinoma originating from the mandibule but filling the maxillary sinus in a 33-year-old female patient who presented with swelling on the right face, together with PET MRI findings.
