Ameloblastoma of the frontal sinuses: a rare site for recurrence

Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumour which commonly recurs after initial surgery; most recurrences occur at the site of the primary tumour. A rare case of recurrence of a maxillary ameloblastoma in the frontal sinuses is presented. To our knowledge there are no previous reports in the literature of a benign maxillary ameloblastoma extending into the frontal sinuses.
