Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is an extremely rare malignant odontogenic tumor. The mean age of occurrence for all 141 AC cases analyzed in our systematic review study was 43.59±19.51 years.Males were more affected than females, and the mandible was predominantly affected compared with the maxilla. The main clinical manifestation was a painful or painless swelling with ulceration and radiographic features usually displayed as mixed cystic or solid changes. Surgical resection was the first recommended method of management. Fourteen cases had cervical lymph node spread, 19 had distant metastasis (most commonly in the lung), and 33 had recurrence. We present a rare case of AC involving the maxillary region. Locally extensive surgical resection was carried out. Ablative defects after maxillectomy resulted in the communication of oral cavity and nasal cavity/maxillary antrum and would bring about difficulties in mastication, deglutition, and speech. A submental island flap was applied to close the oronasal and oroantral fistula. The flap and the wounds healed well, with excellent outcomes in terms of appearance, the function of speech, and swallowing on follow up. The submental island flap provides a relatively thin, easy-to-harvest, and well-vascularized tissue, which makes it a reliable option in soft tissue reconstruction of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare aggressive malignant epithelial odontogenic tumor. The spindle cell variant of ameloblastic carcinoma (SCAC) is exceedingly rare with 15 cases of SCAC having been reported. Therefore, because of the paucity of cases in literature related to SCAC, the biological behavior of the entity has not been well evaluated. Herein the authors report a case of incidentally diagnosed SCAC in a 20-year-old woman identified on imaging as part of the evaluation of a work-related facial injury. Histologically, the tumor had background of cystic ameloblastoma with areas of dense hypercellular spindle cells with short-to-long intersecting fascicles and occasional herringbone pattern intermixed with solid epithelial nests. Both the epithelial and spindle cells were positive for cytokeratin including cytokeratin 19, D2-40, and transducin-like enhancer of split proteins-1 immunohistochemical stains. The patient was followed for 18 months with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. To the knowledge this is a first case of reporting D2-40 positivity in spindle ameloblastic carcinoma and this immunostain could be used as helpful marker to diagnose this entity.
