More case reports are needed for further understanding of this rare malignant odontogenictumour.
2
Background: Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive odontogenictumour of the mandible and maxilla that, if neglected, can cause severe facial disfigurement and functional impairment.
1
This would be expected since the histogenesis of odontogenictumors commonly comes from epithelium that recently performed a secretory activity in tooth formation.
2
Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the biological role of MMP20 and KLK4 in odontogenictumors.

Clinical significance: The study helps in assessing the occurrence of the odontogenictumor.
2
Myxoma of the jaw is classified as an odontogenictumor although final proof for an odontogenic origin is lacking.
3
Histologically, the tumor was composed of clear-cell areas and exhibited a squamous pattern with little nuclear pleomorphism similar to benign squamous odontogenictumor.
4
Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenictumor with an aggressive biological behavior, and the surgical treatment frequently results in failure for the postoperative recurrence.

This would be expected since the histogenesis of odontogenictumors commonly comes from epithelium that recently performed a secretory activity in tooth formation.
