The diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma is often difficult and the optimal treatment methods remain controversial. The current study retrospectively investigated the optimal diagnosis and treatment methods of 12 ameloblastic carcinoma patients at the West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University (Chengdu, China), and 20 patients selected from the PubMed database, were reviewed. The clinical features, diagnosis and outcome of the different treatments were evaluated. Ameloblastic carcinoma occurred in 12 out of a total of 538 ameloblastoma patients; the majority were of the primary type. Of the 538 ameloblastoma patients, 294 were male, 244 were female with a male to female ratio of 1.2:1. The predilection age is 20–30 years, which accounts for 40% of the total. In total, 461 cases were in the mandible and 77 were located in the maxilla. The cure rate of the primary type and the recurrence rate of the secondary type tumors were higher in the patients from the West China Hospital of Stomatology compared with those reported in the literature. In particular, a case with a long-term survival of 30 years is presented, which is considered to be relatively rare. The evolution of the clinical course has experienced three stages: Ameloblastoma (1978) followed by metastatic ameloblastoma (2000) and finally ameloblastic carcinoma (2008). To avoid recurrence, wide local excision with postoperative radiation therapy is required. While novel therapeutic regimens should also be considered as appropriate, including carbon ion therapy and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery. However, controlled studies with larger groups of patients are required to increase the accuracy of results.

“…With regard to prognosis, both present patients have had no recurrences and metastases so far. Appropriate treatments for ameloblastic carcinoma should include radical local resection of the primary lesion, with taking more than a 1‐3 cm safe margin . The present patients underwent a marginal resection, taking a safety margin of 2 cm immediately after diagnosis.…”

“…Although classification of ameloblastic carcinoma has been simplified as a single entity according to WHO classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial bone tumors in 2017, it is because both types have similar histological features and clinical behavior and they recognize the existence of two different types of amoloblastic carcinoma . Histopathologically, the diagnostic criteria for ameloblastic carcinoma are based on cytological atypia and an increased mitotic index with malignancy . However, when ameloblastic carcinoma arises de novo, the diagnosis may not be simple because several malignant tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, or epidermoid carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis .…”

Peripheral ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare odontogenic tumor that is characterized by malignant cytological features in combination with histological features of ameloblastoma. In this report, two cases of peripheral ameloblastic carcinoma of different types arising at the mandibular gingiva are presented. Both patients had marginal resection after incisional biopsy and were diagnosed as ameloblastic carcinoma according to WHO classification in 2017. However, two cases had distinct pathological features. First case had no finding suspicious of malignant transformation from benign ameloblastoma (primary type with 2005 WHO classification), while the other case showed benign ameloblastoma with malignant changes within the gingiva (secondary type with 2005 WHO classification).
