“…Ameloblastoma is a pathology with infiltrative potential and the location in this case leaves us cautious because it affects a region that can lead to death or severe sequelae for the patient, as it infiltrates the base of the skull, and it is not possible to remove the pathology with a safety margin. This case is very similar to some cases reported in the literature 4,5,13 that reported the recurrence of ameloblastoma causing facial deformity in the temporal region. In the case reported by Al-Bayaty et al 13 , the authors present a schematic showing the possible path covered by the tumour to reach the temporal region, following the muscular insertions, serving as a basis to explain the pathway of the recurrence reported in this article.…”

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a locally invasive, slowly growing odontogenic epithelium, which can reach large proportions. It is preferentially located in the region of mandibular molars. The most indicated treatment is resection with safety margin, since its potential for recurrence is high. Objective: To report a case of recurrence the ameloblastoma. Case report: A 60-year-old female patient came to the hospital with difficulty speaking and eating because of the mass inside the mouth and earaches. The extra-buccal physical examination had an increase in volume in the jugal and right temporal regions. At the intra-buccal physical examination there was a nodule approximately 5X6X7 cm, firm at palpation with normal overlying mucosa in color and continuity. The patient reported that 30 years ago she had undergone a surgical procedure to remove an ameloblastoma in the region of the right mandibular body. Imaging revealed a wide extension of the lesion, extending from the symphysis to the cranial base, in the middle cranial fossa region. Previous incisive biopsy revealed the diagnosis of follicular ameloblastoma. Conclusion: Ameloblastoma should be followed for a long period of time because it is a locally infiltrative benign neoplasm that, even when treated with surgery and safety margin, may recur late. The approach taken was the removal of the lesion associated with mandibular reconstruction.

“…By doing this, tumour cells might remain in the muscle attachments (Chen and Miao, 2002). The tumour might also have extended from its primary location through the mandibular ramus medially into the soft tissues and subsequently extended superior and deep to the temporalis muscle (Al-Bayaty et al, 2002). Another factor may be the histological pattern: The follicular and granular types are associated with the highest recurrence rates of the histological subtypes of ameloblastoma.…”

“…Ameloblastoma can alsooccur in the temporal region due to implantation of tumor cells in the soft tissues during surgery 2. The possible mechanism of spread in this case can be incomplete enucleation of the cystic lining in the coronoid process during previous surgery operated in the regional cancer center.…”
